Home Staging at Every Size and Price

Every Listing Gets Daniel's Full Attention

A one bedroom deserves the same eye as a penthouse.

The heart of our work is the Manhattan one bedroom, priced from $800,000 to $2 million. We have also staged penthouses in Greenwich Village, Battery Park City and on the Upper West Side, and a $7 million apartment on Central Park South.

Every staging is Daniel's calling card, so a $300,000 studio gets the same care from him as a $2 million apartment. He talks through each listing with you and designs a staging that suits the apartment, its price and your seller.

Staging by a Manhattan Interior Designer

Staging That Goes Just Past the Line Into Decorating

There is a difference between a room that has been furnished and a room that has been designed, and buyers feel it when they walk in.

Daniel VanHall designs homes for clients across New York City, from full renovations with custom millwork to finished interiors. He stages the way he designs, so an apartment staged by VanHall looks decorated, not simply staged.

Take the Stevie Van Zandt residence at 135 West 4th Street. It could not be a run-of-the-mill staging, so Daniel designed a rock star staging to evoke the man who lived there.

It shows in the details: a piece moved an inch this way or that, a picture hung at just the right height. A room is not finished until Daniel has positioned it and it looks and feels right.

A Curated Collection of Furniture, Art and Decor

Pieces That Don't Look Like Staging Furniture

Buyers should walk in and feel it could be someone's home.

Daniel built the collection himself, with pieces that look like a decorator chose them for the home, the kind you would expect to see in Architectural Digest or Elle Decor.

He is always on the hunt for new pieces and retires older ones, so every listing looks fresh and the collection keeps up with how a modern home looks now.

Because we own the collection and keep it in our warehouse in Queens, we can transform a Manhattan apartment on a moment's notice, with every piece chosen for that home.

How Home Staging Works With VanHall Interiors

From the First Call to Closing

You work with Daniel from the first call to closing. He makes the decisions, and you can call him anytime.

1. Call or Text Daniel. Reach him directly at 917.597.0770. He answers his own phone.
2. Free In-Home Consultation. Daniel comes to see the apartment, and we send you a custom proposal for the listing.
3. Design. Daniel plans each room and chooses every piece for it. For a walk-up or a tight building, we send someone to measure first, so it all fits on install day.
4. Installation. Our team brings everything from our warehouse, and Daniel is there to set up every room.
5. On the Market. The standard term is six months, and you can extend it if the apartment needs more time.
6. When It Sells. The staging stays through contract and, in a co-op, board approval. We take it back to our warehouse just before closing, unless the buyer buys the pieces they want for a turn-key home.

Turn-Key Apartments and Furniture Buyouts

Buyers and Sellers Can Buy the Staging

The staging is for sale, which gives your listing one more thing to offer.

Most often it is the seller who buys it. Higher-priced listings and harder-to-sell buildings can take more than six months, and when that happens, the seller can buy the staging outright instead of renting it for another six months.

Buyers can purchase it too, all of it or only the pieces they love, and move into a turn-key home. They could not put together the same look, at the same quality, for anywhere near the price.

Manhattan Apartments We Have Staged
