Rooms that feel like a long, slow exhale.
Devhassy Studio is a small interior styling and home staging practice on the New Jersey coast, led by Ira P. Margulies. We layer linen, oak, clay and quiet light into rooms you will not want to leave.
A small studio with a steady hand.
We work room by room, season by season — never imposing a style, always uncovering one. Every project begins with a long conversation over coffee at your kitchen table, and ends with a home that finally sounds like you.
Our sourcing is deliberately narrow: New Jersey and Hudson Valley makers, honest materials, a few trusted trade lines. Nothing is chosen to photograph well and everything, quietly, does.
Full-Room Styling
Layered styling for one room at a time — from sourcing to the last stem of eucalyptus.
Home Staging
Listing-ready staging that helps NJ homes sell up to 38% faster on average.
Color & Material Consults
A working session in your space with paint, finish and fabric direction you can act on the same week.
Whole-Home Refresh
A seasonal re-edit of your existing pieces, with curated additions where they earn their place.
Four unhurried steps.
We keep the process small and human on purpose. No mood-board avalanche, no ninety-page PDFs — just a clear plan and a beautiful room at the end of it.
Coffee & conversation
A ninety-minute in-home consultation. We listen, look, and take a lot of quiet notes.
The plan
A tight, illustrated direction — palette, floor plan, sourcing list. One revision included.
Sourcing & making
Trade sourcing, custom pieces, and the small commissions that make a room feel found.
Install day
Full white-glove install. You come home, we hand you the keys, everything is done.
From the families we've worked with.
“Ira has a rare, quiet eye. Our living room feels like it has always been this way — and yet nothing was.”Elena K.Short Hills, NJ · Full-Room Styling
“We listed on a Thursday and had an offer over asking by Sunday. The staging did the work.”Michael & Priya D.Millburn, NJ · Home Staging
“Devhassy is that increasingly rare thing — a designer who actually listens before she draws.”Sarah W.Summit, NJ · Whole-Home Refresh
Small answers to good questions.
Where are you based, and where do you work?
Our studio is in Short Hills, New Jersey. We take projects across Essex, Union, Morris and Bergen counties, and a small handful of Manhattan and Brooklyn homes each year.
How long does a full-room project take?
From the first consultation to install day is typically eight to twelve weeks, depending on sourcing and any custom pieces.
Do you work with our existing furniture?
Almost always. Most of our Whole-Home Refresh projects are 60–70% pieces the family already owns, re-edited and re-placed.
