Delaware St.

DESigned entire two bedroom rental with a $6k furnishing budget! A bare garden-level apartment turned warm, light-handling rental showcase, sage accent walls, a butcher-block island, leather and bouclé doing the talking.

The brief

A garden-level unit going up for lease that read as a basement in photos, low light, bare carpet, builder-grade kitchen, zero sense of how anyone would actually live there. The goal was simple: make the listing photos earn showings.

The approach

Leaned into warmth instead of fighting the low light. A sage accent wall and brass fixtures gave the open room a center; a black butcher-block island defined kitchen from living without a wall. Tan leather and cream bouclé kept everything soft, photogenic, and gender-neutral.

The outcome

Every room now has an obvious purpose and a focal point, living, dining, sleeping, and a small work nook, staged so a renter can picture the whole life, not just the square footage.

The staged home

7 rooms

Open kitchen and living view, black butcher-block island set for two against the green accent wall.
Sage-green galley kitchen with butcher-block island, rattan-and-white stools, and floating shelf styling.
Primary bedroom after, upholstered bed, leather bench, and a teal accent wall with a herringbone feature.
Styled dresser vignette, white drawers, arched wood mirror, pampas grass, and botanical prints.
Bedroom suite with workspace nook and ensuite bath visible beyond the staged bed.
Work nook with a walnut secretary desk against a soft-green wall, leading to the bath.
