Styling Three Apartments at Once: Why Strategy Matters When it comes to selling property, it’s not just about cushions, artwork, and colour palettes. Staging is about strategy. Recently, we were given a big challenge - styling three different beachside apartments on the same day - and the lessons we learned are valuable for any seller or agent thinking about how to present a property to market. One of the biggest questions we get with apartment blocks or townhouse complexes is: Which ones should we stage? It’s easy to assume you should style the biggest or most luxurious property. [...]

Finding Focus, Building Teams, and Embracing Change in Home Staging When you’re running a business, or even just selling a home, it’s easy to feel pulled in a hundred different directions.

We’ve been reflecting on what really matters when it comes to growing a business, supporting your team, and adapting to an industry that’s constantly changing. One of the biggest lessons is learning to focus. With so many things competing for attention, it’s tempting to try to do it [...]

The Small Fixes That Add Big Value When Selling Your Home

By |2025-08-12T09:29:08+10:00August 15th, 2025|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest|

The Small Fixes That Add Big Value When Selling Your Home When you’re getting ready to sell, it’s easy to focus on the big-ticket prep like new paint, fresh landscaping and professional staging. But here’s the truth: it’s often the little things that can quietly make or break a buyer’s first impression. Loose handles. Dripping taps. Scuffed walls. A flickering light bulb. These are the details you stop noticing when you live in a home, but buyers notice them instantly. The risk? Those tiny red flags plant seeds of doubt. “If they didn’t fix this, what else is wrong?” [...]

Same Floor Plan, Two Years Apart: How Renovation and Styling Can Tell Two Very Different Stories In property styling, it's rare to see a direct before-and-after of what a smart renovation and strategic styling can truly achieve. But that's exactly what this home offered - the exact same floor plan, styled two years apart, with a completely different result. The transformation wasn’t just visual. It was emotional, functional, and buyer-focused. With updated finishes, a reimagined layout, and styling choices tailored to today’s market, the home told a brand-new story - one that felt brighter, more modern, and perfectly suited [...]

Why Skipping Staging Could Be Costing You Time and Money

By |2025-07-22T14:54:27+10:00July 30th, 2025|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest|

Why Skipping Staging Could Be Costing You Time and Money Plenty of sellers still see staging as a “nice to have.” Something to consider later - if the home doesn’t sell quickly or the agent suggests it. But after staging thousands of homes across South-East Queensland, we’ve seen what happens when it’s skipped - and it’s usually not great. Here’s why styling isn’t the cherry on top. It’s part of the selling strategy from day one. It’s a common mindset: staging is a bonus, not a baseline. And while we understand the instinct to wait and see, it [...]

Inside a 24 Hour Hotel Styling Project: What We Learned

By |2025-07-22T10:58:43+10:00July 22nd, 2025|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest|

Inside a 24 Hour Hotel Styling Project: What We Learned In the world of styling, most jobs follow a familiar rhythm, until one doesn’t. Late on a Thursday, after office hours, we received multiple missed calls from a hotel team in Brisbane needing urgent help. A corporate visit was booked for the weekend at The Sebel Brisbane, part of the Accor Group, and they wanted to showcase one of their suites at its absolute best. The catch? They needed the hotel room styled and ready the very next day. We don’t usually take on work with just 12 [...]

Why Selling Your Home Means Letting Go (Just a Little)

By |2025-07-16T09:27:39+10:00July 16th, 2025|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest|

Why Selling Your Home Means Letting Go (Just a Little) The way we live in our homes is unique to us - it’s shaped by routines, memories, and all those little lived-in details that make it your home. And that’s exactly how it should be. But when it comes time to sell, the game changes. Suddenly, it’s not about showing how you live in the home; it’s about helping someone else imagine how they could live there. Because at the end of the day, you’re not just selling bricks and mortar - you’re selling the feeling of home. [...]

By |2025-07-11T11:06:25+10:00July 11th, 2025|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest|

When the Styling Doesn’t Land What Happens Next Matters Most Not every property stage goes to plan. Even with experience, creativity and the best intentions, it’s still possible to miss the mark - and when that happens, the response can make or break the relationship. This is a real-world example of what can go wrong, what was done to make it right, and the takeaways for anyone working in or around property styling - and for sellers who want to understand what can happen behind the scenes. A developer engaged us to style two newly completed homes. There [...]
