You don't have to move out to have your home styled for sale Most people assume home styling means emptying the house. Furniture into storage, family into a rental, six weeks of living somewhere else while the campaign runs. That isn't how most of our jobs work. The majority of homes we style still have the owners living in them for the whole sale campaign. We call it integrated styling, because we're integrating your furniture with ours. We walk through the home and work out what's already doing a good job. Almost every home has [...]

How to choose a home staging company, and what to ask before you book Staging done well puts real money back in your pocket when you sell. We pulled the numbers apart in does home staging actually make you money?, and the short version is that a good stage can return many times what it costs. So the company you pick is not a small decision. It is one of the few parts of your sale you actually control, and the right call can swing the result by tens of thousands (if not more). The quote stage is where [...]

Will my home sell for less if it's vacant? Yes. In most cases, a vacant home sells for less than the same home would have if it was styled. Not always, and not in every market, but consistently enough that it's the answer most agents will give you when asked directly. We've staged over 7,500 homes across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. We've watched what happens with vacant campaigns and styled campaigns side by side, often on the same street. The pattern is clear: buyers behave differently in an empty home, and that difference shows up in the offers. Here's what's actually going [...]

Will Home Staging Put Holes in My Walls? Yes - but probably fewer than you'd think, and you're unlikely to have to do anything about them. This is one of the most common questions sellers ask before staging, and it's a fair one. You've often just spent thousands repainting and preparing the home for sale. The idea of someone putting fresh holes in those walls feels like a step backwards. Here's what actually happens. Our stylists hang artwork in rooms where it changes how the property photographs and presents at open homes. We use small, [...]

Most people who hire a staging company have never done it before. They know staging is a thing. Their agent mentioned it. They've seen the before-and-afters on Instagram. But they don't actually know what happens - and that uncertainty is enough to make some sellers hesitate or skip it entirely. This guide walks you through the full process, from your first enquiry through to the day your property goes live. No fluff, just what actually happens at each step - including the things most companies don't tell you upfront. The bit most people worry about: handing over their home [...]
