Testimonials for Designed to Appeal
Designed to Appeal has had many satisfied clients.
Here are just a few of their praises:
The staging made the apartment much more saleable and was a critical factor in getting three offers in the first week, one of which was over the asking price.

Donna Dazzo spent several hours at our home for a home staging consultation. She immediately impressed us with her keen observations of every detail in each room of our 100 year old converted milk barn. It was so helpful to hear the comments of this gifted professional. Her suggestions were clever, ingenious, and down right brilliant. For every negative…which was always diplomatic… she had a positive viewpoint. To view our house through someone else’s eyes, who is gifted enough to suggest simple changes that make a big difference…is a win/win situation. We highly recommend the services of Designed to Appeal and Donna Dazzo.

Donna took an empty condo with good bones and turned it into a luxurious and beautiful home, ready for sale. With her trained eye, she did her homework quickly and selected just the right pieces to make this apartment glow. All details were taken into consideration, from just the right colors and tone, to where to place artwork, pillows, candles and flowers. Easy to work with, Donna has been a pleasure from beginning to end.

Donna's decorative approach is delightful, modern and classy. She helped to transform my New York apartment with great style, and it's never looked better! Donna is extremely organized and she cares about the details. She worked swiftly to finish everything within budget and in a short period of time. I was very satisfied with her work and would recommend her to anyone who is considering staging.

Wow! This really exceeded my expectations. You have done a great job. The house looks great! Homeowner Update: We definitely think the staging helped us sell the house without a doubt. I would do it again without hesitation.

The staging of our property has transformed the home into a showcase. We are confident that the furnishings and finishing touches you provided will result in the fast sale of our house. Thank you again for creating a warm and welcoming environment.

When we met Donna, we immediately knew she was the right person for the job. In a no-nonsense manner, she wrote out a detailed plan and wasted no time in getting started on it. Donna made sure that she personally attended to all the details of staging the home. From the window boxes in front of the house to the placement of the children's books on the bookshelf, Donna did not consider her job done until every last detail was accounted for. Her professional and caring manner gave us the confidence to see this through to the end.

I love what you've done at the property. You've made a great house look like a great home. The sense of style and comfort you've created enables our buyers to picture living in and enjoying this wonderful ambience.

Donna Dazzo did not do a good job of staging our home, she did a great job! When Donna finished adding both the rental (furniture) and personal touches that she used, each room had a personality and came to life. Rooms that appeared small gained in size. People understood the use for each room. With everything shown to its potential, the house quickly rented. Donna made herself and her talents available to accomplish this both reliably and well. Apart from her considerable talents, Donna made the whole process more of an adventure than a chore.
Nancy L., Homeowner
Southampton, New York
I had an immediate need to get our property staged for a potential summer rental. Donna dropped everything and swiftly and cleverly made purchases and organized rentals all within budget. Her eye is so good with unfinished and partially furnished spaces. Without her we could not have quickly rented the house for a six figure price.
