Staging Your Manhattan Apartment for Sale

Help Buyers See Themselves Living There

When you sell your home, first impressions count, from the listing photos to the first open house.

An empty apartment can be hard for buyers to picture. Daniel furnishes and decorates it so it feels sophisticated yet warm and inviting, the way he would want his own home to feel.

Whatever your apartment's size or price, it gets the same care, with a staging designed for your home and your asking price.

Working With You and Your Listing Agent

Hire Us Directly or Through Your Agent

Your listing agent may bring us in, or you can call Daniel yourself. Either way, Daniel works with you both.

We are a boutique New York firm, so the person who answers your first call is the designer who stages your home. Call or text Daniel at 917.597.0770.

How Staging Works for Homeowners

From Consultation to Closing

1. Free In-Home Consultation. Daniel comes to see your apartment and talks through your sale with you, and we send a custom proposal.
2. Installation. Our team brings the staging from our warehouse, and Daniel is there to set it up.
3. While Your Apartment Is Listed. The standard term is six months, and you can extend it if your apartment needs more time.
4. When It Sells. The staging stays through your contract and, in a co-op, board approval. We collect it just before your closing, unless your buyer wants to buy some of the pieces.

Buy the Staging With Our Furniture Buyout

If Your Sale Needs More Time

The staging does not have to leave when the six months are up.

You can extend it for another six months, or buy it outright instead of renting it longer. It is then yours, and when your apartment sells, we can help you clear it out for the sale.

See how our furniture buyouts work for buyers and sellers.

Interior Design for Your Next Home

From the Apartment You Sell to the One You Buy

Some homeowners see what Daniel does with the apartment they are selling and ask him to design their next one.

VanHall Interiors is a full interior design firm. On a renovation we handle everything, from Department of Buildings permits and moving walls to custom millwork and the final walk-through, and we shop the city and the world for the right pieces. The designer who staged your sale can take you all the way into your new home.

"We hired Daniel to help us renovate our dated junior 4 on the UES. It's been about 18 months since we worked with him and I'm still so pleased with the re-design he proposed for our floorplan. He has a great attention to detail, really listens to what you want to achieve, and provides practical and creative solutions."
