FAQs
What does a home organization and move-in styling service do?
1
A move-in organization and styling service handles the full setup of your new home after you move in. Unpacking boxes, building functional organization systems and styling each space so it looks and feels intentional. Settled & Styled Home goes beyond basic unpacking to make sure every room works for your household's actual routines, not just on move-in day but for the long term.
How long does a move-in setup take?
2
An Essentials Setup (kitchen, primary bedroom, entry zone) takes one to two days. A Whole Home Setup depends on the size of the home but is typically completed in two to three days. White Glove projects are scoped individually based on home size and complexity.
Do I need to be home during the setup?
3
No. Many of our clients prefer to be out of the house while we work, but it’s up to your personal comfort level. We'll align on your preferences, layout and priorities before setup day so nothing is left to guesswork.
What areas of the DMV do you serve?

What's the difference between a home organizer and an interior designer?
5
An interior designer focuses on aesthetics — furniture, finishes, and the visual design of a space. A home organizer focuses on function — systems, storage, and how a space actually gets used. The two services complement each other to ensure all of the spaces in your home are designed and organized to maximize use and enjoyment. Settled & Styled Home build the systems first, then style each space with intention. The result is a home that works beautifully, not just one that looks beautiful.
What's included in a white glove move-in service?
6
Our White Glove Setup includes mover coordination, full unpack and organization of every room, furniture placement, art hanging, sourcing of any additional organizational products needed, and complete styling throughout. It is our most comprehensive offering, scoped individually for each client.
Can I hire a home organizer just for one room?
7
Yes. Our Room Add-On service allows you to add individual rooms to an Essentials Setup — including home offices, kids' rooms, guest rooms, laundry rooms, and pantry expansions. Book a discovery call and we'll build the right scope for you.
How far in advance should I book a move-in organization service?
8
We recommend booking as soon as you have a confirmed move-in date. Two to four weeks of lead time allows us to prepare properly and ensure your preferred dates are available. If your timeline is tighter, reach out — we'll do our best.
How much does a home organizer cost in the DMV?
9
Pricing for Settled & Styled Home services varies based on home size, scope, and the service tier you choose. We don't publish rates publicly because the right scope is different for every client. A discovery call is always free, and we'll give you a clear, detailed proposal before you commit to anything.
What should I do before my home organizer arrives?
10
Not much — that's the point. We'll send you a simple prep guide after you book. In general: if you have strong preferences about where specific items should live, let us know in advance. Otherwise, trust the process. We'll handle the rest.
