By combining a love and talent for interior design and home improvement with a background and skill in project management, Designed to Appeal will maximize the profit potential from your home.
Whether it’s the sale or rental of an apartment or house, and whether it’s in New York City or the Hamptons, we strive to get you top dollar with less time on the market.
Is your home’s first impression a great one?
10 seconds - that’s all you have to impress a prospective buyer or renter. First impressions are critical, and Designed to Appeal wants to make that first impression a good and lasting impression.
Beginning with curb appeal and throughout every room, Designed to Appeal transforms a property into a home that buyers will aspire to live in, or a summer get-away that renters envision relaxing in.
- Unlike interior decorating, home staging is about décor that appeals equally to a wide range of tastes and preferences by creating a strong emotional connection with buyers and renters
- An investment in staging increases profit in two ways:
- the value of the property
- less spent on mortgage payments, taxes, utilities by decreasing the amount of time on the market
Designed to Appeal Services
Designed to Appeal is skilled at emphasizing the best features of a house or apartment while improving or downplaying the less marketable features.
We can just make recommendations, or take the stress and worry out of it by doing it all for you under tight deadlines.
This could include:
- Curb appeal enhancement
- Clutter elimination, organizing and storage
- Furniture rearrangement and/or rental
- Accessorizing (bedding, towels, decorative items, art)
- Shopping for furniture and accessories
- Recommendations on paint color, lighting and window treatments
- Repair, renovation and updating recommendations
- Access to and coordination of qualified, preferred resources (painters, contractors, landscapers)
- Summer Rental Marketing: we market the property via high-trafficked rental-by-owner websites by taking attractive, professional photos and writing a property description meant to garner the attention of potential renters.

What Clients Say
“My partially furnished Hamptons cottage had been on the market for rent for months. The living room was transformed by Donna (at Designed to Appeal) into a cozy retreat and it was rented a few weeks later. She really did a great job!”
William F., Water Mill, New York
“Donna, the house was simply perfect: beautifully decorated, spacious and equipped with all the amenities needed to feel like a home away from home! Thank you for again for a wonderful weekend!”
Robin K., West Hartford CT
“This was our first rental ever and this vacation home exceeded our expectations! We were very impressed by the tasteful decorations, cleanliness and child-friendly surroundings, every amenity possible, the private, well-groomed property. Our family felt like we were at home here. We look forward to returning next year!”
