Jay Nuhring House Styling : Second Floor Space Becomes A Teenager's Bedroom

What We Do

"When Jay Nuhring re-thinks your rooms, it's not a do-over. He's not starting from scratch. He's looking at what you have, and finding a way to make it work better. He's putting your pieces together in a totally new way. A way that calms. Or invites. Or defines. Or surprises. After all, you have a story, and what you have in your home tells bits and pieces of that story. So let's put the story together in a way that reflects you best. What you're about. Where you've been. The things you love".

Second Floor Space Becomes A Teenager's Bedroom

Second Floor Office...? BEFORE

Second Floor Bedroom! AFTER. The more bedrooms a home has the more likely it will appeal to a larger audience when selling. Whenever possible style and stage the extra room into a kid's bedroom. Buyers will either love the bedroom for "Billy" or simply convert into an office. Conversely, buyers are less likely to visualize the office as a bedroom.

Client Testimonials

I'm so glad I met Jay. He is the best designer I've found in the Twin Cities, after working with a number of others over a period of years. He is practical, cost-conscious, pleasant to work with and most of all has a great eye, an amazing ability to visualize what is needed to pull all the elements of a room together. I value his help a great deal and would recommend him highly to anyone who wants to make their home more beautiful. JK

OMG! I bloody love it! It is...I can't believe it Jay. I cannot believe you could do that to my sitting room. It looks enchanting! Why I didn't think of that before I can't imagine. It is so pretty. It is so beautiful. You are a magician. That's exactly what you are, a magician! Thank you! Thank you! We just got home. Tom loves it. It is so beautiful. I could wax lyrical all day. I can't wait to see how you tweak the rest of the house! (this was a voice message left on my cell phone) VO

Jay has made our home sparkle...at times it seemed against some difficult odds! He has been a tremendous support, a delight to work with and we are happy to recommend him with great confidence. Here are some reasons why: Jay has an incredible eye for creating inviting spaces by tweaking/rearranging items big and small in ways that make rooms come alive. He has excellent, inexpensive sources and knows just where to look for well-priced furnishings and home decor of all kinds. He pays great attention to detail and comes up with cost-effective ways to fill in the missing pieces. Jay is wonderfully productive. He works hard and fast and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done including heavy lifting, picking up and transporting furniture, recommending and supervising excellent craftsmen and making sure that each room he styles is spotlessly clean. He is both supportive and a task master when needed - a good combination when speedy team effort is required! PL

He's a miracle worker. He brightens and beautifies everything he touches. SS

It's just like you've taught me, you can have the most beautiful things in the world, but if not put in the right place, they mean nothing. SS

What Would Jay Do...?

Ok, here it goes. These comments are completely petty. Consider them "What would Jay do" tips for your own home.

1. You know those tags attached to the ends of the cords of table and floor lamps? Cut them off - immediately.

2. If you have any un-lit candles in your home, light them now, let them burn for 30 seconds and blow them out - what's the point of having candles if you never burn them - there is no such thing as "for decoration only".

3. Display things you would actually use on the kitchen counter - ie. Cappuccino Machine, Toaster, Electric Mixer, Cook Books. Even Olive Oils and special Vinegars look amazing near the range - not to mention handy. Kitchens should look like they're being used, not just looked at.
