Staged To Sell Or Dwell

We design homes that invite you in, not only because of their style, but also because of their purpose. We believe if you can’t enjoy and use your home – why bother? It is this passion for functionality and for the highest level of customer service that drove us to start Staged to Sell or Dwell in 2014. Since our inception, our client projects have ranged from kitchens and baths to living rooms and nurseries, covering homes in Westchester and New York City as well as all Long Island. 

As a small firm and winner of the Best in Houzz 2017 Award for Customer Service, we knock ourselves out to earn your 5-star review and referral. As a mother and daughter team, our values are the foundation of the company: communication, creativity, transparency, and trust. It’s what our relationship is built on and we bring the same to you. Our method is to blend traditional and contemporary, creating timeless, transitional spaces that reflect your style. We believe that your home is so much more than the furniture inside of it, and we strive to create a space that is not only beautiful but that fits your families’ lifestyle.
