How To Style A Magazine Worthy Kitchen Pantry

By |2019-02-12T16:43:05+10:00July 13th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

When styling a home for sale, a lot of sellers make the mistake of concentrating on the key selling points of a home and they overlook areas that are hidden by closed doors. It still surprises me when a client hasn’t thought of styling their kitchen pantry to some degree. Now, a messy pantry won’t break a sale but styling is all about helping potential buyers fall in love with your home, so your pantry needs as much care as any other spot in the house. So, lets cover the basics of styling your kitchen pantry for sale.   Purge [...]

When looking through property photos, I find I have an appreciation for those homes that are styled but still homely. It is the classic dining room shot plays a large role in revealing whether the home has been styled in this manner and so today, I thought we could discuss whether to set or not to set the dining table when styling your home for sale.   First up, we can look at the whole hog. I am talking about the full formal setting, sometimes topped of with fruit adorning individual settings. I'm not a fan of setting the table [...]

The Most Important Room to Style When Selling Your Home

By |2019-02-12T16:43:06+10:00May 9th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

When consulting for clients, I am often asked to quote on styling the rooms that are only necessary for a good sale. Generally this request is budget related and our partial style will include the living, dining and outdoor areas, as well as the master room only. It did get me thinking though, if I could convince every seller to style one area, regardless of whether it is a DIY or using a professional, what would it be? So today I thought I would share with you my thoughts on what's the most important room to style when selling your [...]

7 Budget Ways To Add Curb Appeal In One Weekend

By |2019-02-12T16:43:07+10:00April 17th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

Curb appeal is trade lingo for, does your home look good from the road? A home with good curb appeal will make a great first impression and make it easier to sell. I see a lot of home owners focusing on improvements inside the home and then only giving the porch a sweep and the lawn a mow. It is just as important to entice your buyers to look inside your home and that is the point of good curb appeal. Now, I wouldn’t advise you to spend a bucket load of money or time on updating your exterior. Instead, [...]

How To Stage A Kids Bedroom

By |2019-02-12T16:43:09+10:00March 13th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

A few months back, our little family did something crazy! It was the first time I have ever felt truly stressed. We moved house. We upgraded from a cozy, three bedroom house, to a gigantic, five bedroom home, in a neighborhood two suburbs over. Not such an amazing feat? Well, we decided that the perfect time to do this was when I was 32 weeks pregnant and with an 18 month old in tow. Whilst in the haze of packing, when my toddler was not so helpfully unpacking every box I packed, I remember thinking how much harder it would be [...]

Don’t Forget To Stage The Guestroom!

By |2019-02-12T16:43:15+10:00February 20th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

Bedrooms are one of my favourite rooms to stage in the home. This is because all bedrooms stick to the same guidelines, they need the same furniture and they are all similar size. This makes bedrooms relatively quick and easy to stage. It is important though, to give each room the attention it deserves. You would be forgiven for dedicating a large amount of time to staging the master bedroom and de-cluttering the kids’ rooms. But bedroom 3, is just important. It’s where Nan will sleep when she babysits, it’s where the ring-ins can bunk at Christmas or possibly, a [...]

If there is a space inside the home that most people have a problem presenting well, it would be the room that isn’t quite big enough for a bedroom, but too big for a home office. A lot of houses have them. We will call it the small bedroom. We will call it this, because, as your real estate agent should tell you, this awkward space should be presented as a bedroom. Why? Because, when it comes to sale price, bedrooms equate to money. So, today, I thought we could tackle staging a small bedroom. The other day, I came [...]

Styling a Bookcase in 6 Easy Steps

By |2019-02-12T16:43:16+10:00January 30th, 2017|DIY, Home Staging Tips|

I  truly love styling a bookcase because it can be a window into your passions, and an opportunity for you to display your favourite things. They add warmth and personality to a space, whilst being the perfect solution for adding storage and style. They are a hardworking piece of furniture. The problem is, if your home is anything like mine, the bookcase ends up collecting piles of things that don’t really belong there. So, take a couple of hours, give the bookcase a little attention and turn it into the focal point of the room. Styling a bookcase is a balance [...]

All too often, the bedside table is used as a dumping ground for books, remnants of midnight snacks and boring alarm clocks.
