  We engaged DesRes to partially style our newly acquired (sight unseen) London apartment as we are based overseas. We purchased the property in Westminster partially furnished so Suzanne assisted us to purchase some new furniture, remove items not required and decorate the apartment to ensure it felt updated and homely. Suzanne worked diligently and in a timely manner to ensure the apartment was ready for our arrival. Suzanne tracked and itemised all the expenses, so we were fully informed, over the 2 month project timeframe. Suzanne went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Suzanne and Desres for your home styling needs. Service: Home staging

  We came across Suzanne via Google search and we arranged to meet with both with her, as well as one other home staging company. It was clear from early on that Suzanne had a great eye for design and was gifted to know how to make our home best saleable. Although we were initially resistant to one or two of her design ideas, I am pleased that we listened to her guidance and we ended up implementing the vast majority of her suggestions. We opted to sell/dispose of larger furniture items and replace them with newly bought, more minimal items to generally help unclutter our apartment. This was a challenge since we have a toddler, with all the toys and bits of pieces that clutter up a typical flat. Suzanne helped us to prepare the flat for estate agent photos and showed us how to prepare the flat in advance of each showing. It felt like a lot of work at the time but we were meticulous about how we presented the property for viewing each time. We ended up selling above asking price, a great result in a falling market. Many thanks to Suzanne for all her help! Service: Home staging

  I am based in Switzerland and after 10 years of renting out my apartment, it needed a good upgrade, before putting it on the market. I contacted Suzanne and the process was immediately set in motion. She took care of everything from the initial site visit to recommendations to collecting quotations and instructing and overseeing the works necessary. We had a short time line and all was delivered on time and budget. Suzanne was super professional and most important to me reliable. I would highly recommend her to work with. The place looks so good and it made the world of difference. Thank you Suzanne :-) Services: Home staging, Interior decorating, Refurbishment, Bathroom design

  DesRes as a company was, without doubt, very reliable and professional. Suzanne, as an individual, was rather exceptional, insightful and charming. Here’s why… I live outside the UK and required someone to manage the entire project of redecorating and staging my small UK flat in St Albans in order to secure a quick sale before Easter. Within a few weeks of the listing, the flat was viewed by several prospective buyers; all of whom commented on how beautiful the flat looked. The flat was sold, subject to contract, just over the Easter weekend. Suzanne was always there for me throughout the process, with incredible transparency of what was happening at each stage. Apart from her obvious talents in design and home staging, she showed a side that made me feel as though I have known her for many years; somehow knowning what I needed and what I did not. And definitely went above and beyond what I expected, Thank you for taking this journey with me Suzanne.

  Suzanne is truly one talented stager. And an angel to boot. Why do I say that? Well I live between the USA and the UK and was trapped by COVID-19 in USA without paperwork enabling me to be in the UK to help in the preparation for the sale of my house: Suzanne managed everything for me with me from a distance. She went totally above and beyond and having struggled to sell my property for 5 months - it sold no less than 48 hours after she had staged it!!!!! If you are struggling to sell - call her now - she is in the magic wand! I cannot thank you enough Suzanne. You took a very stressful and complicated situation for me personally and turned the whole thing around. Service: Home staging

  Suzanne and Des Res team did a wonderful job home staging our show apartment for our residential development of 40 flats in North London. She listened very carefully to our requirements, she sourced all the furniture, including soft furnishings, art, accessories, for us at very good rates from a number of suppliers which we purchased instead of rented. The agents and their clients have so far been very complimentary of our end product. So thank you DesRes team! Will definitely use Desres for our next home staging project and would thoroughly recommend DesRes team for sourcing product from suppliers and home staging Service: Home staging

  After returning from working abroad for four years I was planning to retire and move from London. As soon as I walked in to my house which had been rented out for four years I knew I had to have some help to prepare it for sale. I spoke to a few ‘house stagers’ but Des Res were the only ones that could arrange the building and decorating works that needed doing as well the staging. Suzanna is a marvellous organiser and managed all the very competitively price tradespeople doing everything from building cupboards, floor tiling, re-fitting a leaky toilet and redecorating through the entire house. In the meantime I was sorting, clearing, selling, giving away everything I no longer wanted and putting the rest into store. (One of the bonuses of doing this is the house is sparkling clean and just about all my possessions are boxed and ready to go, so moving will be a doddle.) I felt inordinately please when she used some of my furniture and paintings to stage the house. But many items were hired and some of the ornaments bought by Suzanne. The result was a stunning transformation of the house. My former lodger came round to see it and walked past the house as he did not recognise it due to the changes to the front of the house. Using Suzanne took the stress out of moving, Susanne was on top of every detail no matter how small and it was a comfort knowing someone was on top of everything. The house went on the market on a Thursday and was under offer by the week following Saturday.

  Suzanne of DesRes London has now staged several properties for my clients, often the properties are fully refurbished and I consider Suzanne as an invaluable part of our team in preparing a property for sale. Suzanne advises from inception of the project through to final staging. It's a process that works really well and I have never been disappointed in the results.
