In our last blog post we revisited some of the biggest hits & misses of 2017. So in the spirit of the New Year, today's post will explore the upcoming design trends for 2018. Japandi: Japandi is a new style that designers seem to think will take over 2018. It borrows the ideas of traditional Japanese design but also crosses over with the rustic casual look of the Scandinavian style. Unlike Scandi, Japandi embraces statement furniture in darker tones such as walnut, charcoal or dark oak stained tones. Wabi Sabi: You would be forgiven for thinking that we have made this term [...]

The Importance of Art in a Home

By |2019-02-12T16:43:05+10:00December 19th, 2017|Colour Inspiration, Home Staging General Interest, Selling Your Home|

Artwork in the home can bring a room together. It can make all of your accessories & cushions stand out & make a space feel warm & inviting. This is why art is so important when selling your home. It can be quite daunting to put a hole in your wall, or for us as Property Stylist's, someone else's wall! In this industry we often hear "I don't want any holes in my walls", or "I don't want to fix anything once the furniture has been removed". Truth be told, a home needs art. No matter how good the furniture [...]

Did Your Real Estate Agent Recommend Styling Your Home For Sale?

By |2019-02-12T16:43:05+10:00July 27th, 2017|Home Staging General Interest, Selling Your Home|

As a small business owner, I like to have an understanding of where our clients find us. Were they referred by previous clients, did they find us on google or did their agent recommend us? When having this discussion, it is always surprising to hear a client mention that their agent told them to list the house as is and not bother tending to odd jobs. So, it got me thinking, what reasons an agent might have for not recommending property styling?       Lack of understanding The most an agent might tell you is to ‘de-clutter’, and that’s [...]

When To Use Feng Shui Influence For Styling A Home To Sell

By |2019-02-12T16:43:05+10:00June 29th, 2017|Home Staging General Interest|

Feng Shui. You’ve probably heard the term thrown around. It is a big focal point in some design instances, with an ancient Chinese heritage.

It examines how the placement of objects in your living space affect energy flow and how those objects influence your own personal energy flow. So let's discuss how can we incorporate these principles into your home and when to use Feng Shui influence for styling a home to [...]

Which Properties Benefit From Property Styling?

By |2019-02-12T16:43:06+10:00June 7th, 2017|Home Staging General Interest, Selling Your Home|

There's more behind styling a property than just hiring furniture to fill an empty room. The essence of property styling is to make your home appeal to as many potential buyers as possible by showcasing the potential of the space. I am often asked what types of properties benefit from property styling and the assumption is that only luxury homes will reap the reward at sale time. But the truth is that property styling is for everyone, with smaller homes and townhouses seeing the greatest monetary benefit.   When selling a home, everyone's goal is the same - to sell [...]

Think Ikea, Think Scandi

By |2019-02-12T16:43:06+10:00May 30th, 2017|Home Staging General Interest|

I absolutely love Scandinavian interior design. It’s a home styling trend popular because of its simplicity, clean lines and innovative return from last century.  If you’re unfamiliar with Scandi style, fear not - just think Ikea. Once you get your head around the basics, you’ll be a pro at putting together amazing Scandi décor, especially if you’re preparing your home for a sale.   Scandinavian, ‘Scandi’ or nordic style dates back to the 1950s. Its pale colours, natural materials and lean, leggy furniture, sees it suit most home interiors. Better yet, scandi furniture is designed with a focus on function [...]

All good agents and stylists will tell you that for a successful sale, it is imperative to de-clutter your home. We often help home sellers sort through their belongings, prior to styling and every one of them are surprised at how much "stuff" they have. This is then followed up with, "what on Earth are we going to do with it all?" So, today I thought we could cover storage and sale options for those things that aren't needed while your home is staged for sale. TAKE THEM WITH YOU Storage Sheds Secure Storage facility Range of sizes - 1m [...]

Nothing beats the smell and look of fresh flowers. They give an instant lift to a room and can be a great focal piece. They can even brighten and freshen a room, helping to make it more memorable to potential buyers. But dressing the home with fresh flowers for every open house and inspection can be costly, so today I thought I'd let you know my thoughts on whether you should use fake or fresh flowers when styling your home. Simply put, using fake flowers to style your home is perfectly acceptable. We often use fake greenery, succulents and flowers in all of [...]
