Not sure if other Property Stylists can relate to this, but we get this all the time: “Oh my gosh, you work for a Home-Staging company, that must be such a fun and easy job!”  Fun – yes! 100%! It is a lot of fun and we love the creative aspect of it, BUT… it is by no means easy. Most people don’t get to see the volume of work going on behind the scenes and just how much thinking, strategic planning and scheduling needs to happen to make their homes ready for a successful sale. Home Staging is [...]

3 Tips to Deal with Companies Undercutting Your Prices

By |2021-05-14T10:55:29+10:00May 14th, 2021|Behind The Scenes, Business of Staging|

In this increasingly competitive business world, it is becoming more difficult to stand out from the crowd. Some entrepreneurs may approach this challenge by creating innovative products and services, others may decide to use low(er) prices as their competitive advantage. From the business point of view, both strategies are absolutely valid and can be successful, if executed correctly. At Foxy, we have identified early on in our entrepreneurial journey that we do not want to be known as the cheapest. Understandably, price is an important factor to a lot of clients, which is why we needed to find ways [...]

15 Centrepiece Ideas for Your Dining Table

By |2021-05-12T09:46:51+10:00May 12th, 2021|Home Staging Tips|

In a modern-day family household, dining tables are often one of the most versatile furniture items, rarely used ‘just for dining’. They double up as work bench spaces, whether it’s for creating a COVID-friendly home office, folding laundry or doing crafts with your little ones. While they are very universal in terms of their practicality, dining tables are often one of the most overlooked furnishings when it comes to their styling potential. It would be a shame not to decorate that beautiful & large bench space! Even if it only lasts a few days before your kiddos decide to [...]

By |2021-11-17T09:52:57+10:00May 6th, 2021|Home Staging Tips|

Kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s the place where nourishing meals are cooked, families gather, and precious memories get made. In our industry of styling homes for sale, kitchens are one of the most influential rooms when it comes to the buyers’ purchasing decision. A beautifully styled kitchen can be the difference between sealing the deal or moving on to the next house. (No pressure, right?) The good thing is that over the years we’ve learned what people love, what works and what doesn’t, and we are about to share it all with you! So if you [...]

Decorating with Books & Magazines

Decorating with Books & Magazines I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for ages! Ever since I started working here at Foxy, I’ve been secretly wondering how our Stylists choose their prop books for home staging. Is it based on the title? Or perhaps on the colour of the cover? Have they ever read any of them? Well, today was the day I waltzed into their styling room, sat myself on the table, opened my notepad and confidently announced “Girls, tell me everything about books.” Understandably, I was met with a lot of [...]

7 Ways to Style a Throw Rug

By |2021-05-12T12:50:05+10:00April 21st, 2021|Home Staging Tips|

“Why would you go through all the effort to make the bed look so beautiful and then you just go and throw a blanket across it? Doesn’t that ruin the look?” – a question we got asked recently. We thought if one person is thinking this, there has got to be more people wondering about the same thing…. So, let’s address it! --- To answer this question – No, a throw rug across the corner of the bed does not ruin the look. In fact, there is a deep-rooted psychological element at play, which is the main reason why [...]

By |2021-04-08T08:14:08+10:00April 8th, 2021|Home Staging Tips, Think Outside The Fox|

Not quite a bedroom, not quite a living space… what can you do with these long & narrow areas? Commonly found in traditional Queenslanders, these rooms are usually closed-off verandas renovated by previous owners, who wanted to create some extra space in their home. Real Estate Agents classify them as sunrooms, thoroughfares, or our favourite – multipurpose rooms! Which purpose exactly… is not quite clear. But that’s okay, you’ve got us and we’re here to help you think outside the box fox and show you how to best utilise these tricky layouts! When we style a home for [...]

How to Style with Pink | + Our 4 Favourite Pink Interior Designs

By |2021-04-06T09:03:29+10:00April 2nd, 2021|Colour Inspiration, Home Improvements, Home Make Over, Home Staging Tips|

Pink – the colour that is commonly deemed as ‘girly & soft’ holds a surprising history. Having assumed a range of guises throughout the centuries, pink firstly became a fashion trend in the mid-1700’s as a symbol of luxury among male Aristocrats. Yes, that’s right… male. What we now perceive as the colour of femininity and delicacy used to be the epitome of strong masculinity, less than 300 years ago. Surprised? We were too. Things took a different spin after the WWII thanks to creative branding strategies, cementing pink as the colour for girls. Since then, it has been [...]

Insurance for Home Stagers

By |2021-03-31T18:16:11+10:00March 31st, 2021|Business of Staging|

If the last few years in business have taught us anything, it is how quickly things can change. To ensure smooth continuity of your business during unprecedented times, it is crucial to have the right cover in place. Last year alone, having a well-constructed insurance policy has saved us thousands of dollars’ worth of stock we would have otherwise had to cover out of pocket (all because of a burst tap in a vacant property we styled). --- The challenge lies in finding an appropriate insurance policy for a Home Staging Business. Considering there are so many different ways [...]
