Another great resource we used is decorator and home stager, Bernadette Flaim. She specializes in utilizing things you already own tweaking, where necessary to create a custom look. She’ll creatively and cost-effectively source things like decor, lighting window treatment and paint colors. She really helped us with all our interiors, all the while using her amazing eye. We loved the finished look and saved a lot of money using her expertise. Bernadette is lovely, fun, and very professional. — Margaret R. - Hoboken, NJ

“Bernie did an amazing job with the redesign of our living and dining room. It went from boring and outdated to “WOW”. Her creative ideas and resourcefulness made the whole process easy, fun and affordable. If you’re looking for fresh and fabulous, give Bernie a call!” — Aparna M., Ramsey, NJ

 

“I'm a BIG fan of Bernadette Flaim, not only as a dear friend, but also for her exquisite sense of style, keen eye and sometimes a simple approach to design which transforms a room into something spectacular ! She GETS what we non-design people miss so often and that is one of her many gifts. She told me to move my living rug in a different direction which changed the entire look of the room, brought out the colors of the rug more vividly to match the decor and opened up the room! Simple HUH?

"Bernadette also recommended I move the living room table from against the wall to the center of the dining room which brought out the beauty of the table and chairs and makes the dining room so much larger and inviting. DUHH why didn't I think of that ? But that's a little bit of how keen her eye is and sense of design and staging. I was amazed at having seen some of her work, before and after and the quality of her design and transformation! If you are looking for a design, staging expert with personal integrity and an inviting, exuberant personality, don't look any further than Bernadette!" — Don K. - New York, NY

 

"Staging ROCKS!" — Bill Graber, RE/MAX Villa - Jersey City, NJ

 

“OMG!! Bernadette Flaim is amazing, compassionate and a magician. The first time I hired her it was to stage my childhood home for sale. My father was ill and we needed to move him. She knew this was a difficult time for me and she worked with me. Bernadette was able to create a lived in look, even though we had moved out most of the furnishings.

The second time I hire Bernadette was to assist me in decorating my new office. The office was disgusting to say the least. I not only had budget restrictions, I had landlord restrictions as well. However, Bernadette worked her magic and transformed the space into a professional but warm environment in which both my clients and I feel comfortable. Oh and she did it by finding the most amazing prices!!" — Lorraine R. Breitman Esq. LLC - Teaneck, NJ
