Branding: Nestled In Properties

The brief

Nestled In Properties creates beautiful, eco-conscious turnkey homes with minimalist interiors. The homes are sold fully styled and finished so buyers can move straight in without having to style the home themselves. Perfect for busy high level professionals. 

To showcase their business, Nestled In Poperties needed a visual identity that felt premium and contemporary, while still clearly communicating their commitment to sustainability.

The audience

The target audience was 35–50 year-old professionals who are financially ready for a premium turnkey build, but time-poor and not confident styling a home themselves. The branding needed to feel high-end, calm, and trustworthy, with a clear sustainability story.

The strategy

For a brand like this, “pretty” isn’t enough. The identity had to do three practical jobs:

  1. Signal quality so the brand feels premium at first glance
  2. Feel calm and minimal  to reflect the home style
  3. Clearly display their evironmental values, so sustainability isn’t just a buzzword

That meant a logo system and brand assets that work beautifully across signage, documents, social media and print, without getting fussy or complicated.

A stack of white business cards and a stack of green business cards for "Nestled In Properties." The white card displays contact information, while the green card features a gold logo and reads "NEW | ENERGY EFFICIENT | SUSTAINABLE | TESTED.

The logo concept

The icon was intentionally built from a set of meaningful elements, each representing something Nestled In Properties stands for:

  • Nest: warmth, welcome, security
  • House: new homes
  • Recycling circle: energy efficiency and sustainability
  • Leaves: green spaces and eco-conscious choices
  • Outer circle: complete, turnkey service (start to finish)

The result is a mark that feels modern and refined, but still tells the story.

Colour palette and finish

The colour palette was chosen to reflect the feeling of a clean, fresh, modern and sustainable home, using soft greens and warm neutrals. Where the application allows, the brand also includes the option of gold hot foil to add a subtle premium cue, perfect for business cards and high-end printed applications.

Typography

To match the minimalist interiors and “styled simplicity” of the brand, the typography is also minimal.

A bright, modern living room with white walls, tall windows, neutral furniture, and light wood accents. Pantone colour swatches in soft beige, sage green, grey, and gold foil are shown at the bottom.
Two versions of a logo for "Nestled In Properties" featuring a stylised leaf inside a house outline. The top logo is gold on a green background; the bottom is green-grey on a light green background.
Gold geometric logo on a muted green background, featuring a circular outline with an abstract leaf design in the centre, and angular lines forming a roof-like shape above the leaves.

Brand assets and style guide

Nested In Properties received a complete set of practical assets so the brand could be used confidently from day one, including:

  • a full logo package with correct file types for print and digital applications
  • a style guide that includes clear guidance around logo variations, clear space, colours and fonts 
  • Print-read PDFs

The outcome

Nestled In Properties now has a visual identity that feels premium, modern and calm, while still communicating what makes them different: sustainable, energy-efficient, turnkey homes that are styled and ready to live in.
