ROOM by ROOM REDESIGN Creates
New Interiors Without Spending a Fortune
and Stages Your Home to Sell Quickly
ROOM by ROOM REDESIGN can help you fall in love with
your home, whether it’s the one you already live in or the
one you want to buy.
Co-owners Shani Abrams and Jane Berlowe have been in
the design field for more than 20 years.
They started their firm because they knew there were so
many people out there who wanted to redesign their homes
but didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars to do so.
“Redesign is the process of using the
furniture, art and accessories that you
already own. This process allows us to
transform someone’s home so that it
reflects his or her tastes and lifestyle,”
says Shani Abrams.
Shani and Jane have found that people are thrilled with the
results because they had no idea that the same space
could be so strikingly different by utilizing their own things
in new ways.
In addition to redesign, these two designers are also Home
Stagers.
“Home Staging visually prepares a home for sale so that
potential buyers can envision themselves living there. In
today’s marketplace with so many homes available, it’s
imperative that your home stands out and makes a
powerful first impression. Used as a marketing tool, staged
homes sell quicker and for top dollar,” says Jane Berlowe.
ROOM by ROOM REDESIGN is a firm that understands
homeowners needs and lifestyles, whether they’re staying
in their homes or trying to sell them.
For more information and for a complimentary consultation,
please contact Shani Abrams or Jane Berlowe.
