How to Style Your Home for Sale: Choosing the Right Style

By |2020-10-27T08:10:24+10:00October 26th, 2020|Behind The Scenes, Business of Staging, Home Staging Tips, Selling Your Home|

How Do You Determine Which Style to Choose? This is a great question and one we get quite often. Let's dig in. For Home Stagers - getting the style right is of paramount importance. It can mean the difference between someone selling their house or not.  After all, these people entrusted us with their livelihoods, which is a responsibility we don’t take lightly. That’s why we always exercise a fair amount of due diligence and look at each property individually. Every house is unique, and everyone’s situation is different, which means there is no simple answer. But we can [...]

Should You Use Scented Candles in a Staged House?

By |2020-10-02T14:39:32+10:00October 2nd, 2020|Home Staging Tips, Selling Your Home|

Staging a house for sale is mostly about creating the perfect illusion of lifestyle appealing to as many potential buyers as possible. Is ‘Lifestyle’ just a visual aspect, or should we be trying to entice other senses as well? Does the sense of smell affect buyers’ decisions? I had a chat about this topic with Phoebe, our Chief Stylist. You can watch the full interview on Foxy TV, Episode 82. Does Using Scents Make Sense? Yes, but they cannot be too strong. As home stagers, it is our responsibility to make the house attractive to the maximum possible number [...]

Ditch the Pretty Talk

By |2020-02-19T09:47:27+10:00February 19th, 2020|Business of Staging, Home Staging General Interest, Home Staging Tips, Selling Your Home|

There is a lot of misunderstanding about what the purpose of home staging is, and unfortunately, most of that misunderstanding seems to come from INSIDE the industry. Home Stagers don’t seem to understand what their business is. To borrow a term from Melissa Marro of Rave Home Staging, most stagers use “pretty talk” when describing and marketing their service. Spend five minutes scrolling through the social media pages of any home staging company and you’ll find that the focus is almost entirely on showing pretty rooms in magazine-style photos. Don’t get me wrong, those ‘pretty’ photos are absolutely critical – the [...]

How to Style A Master Bedroom Worthy of Attention

Today I thought we could talk about bedrooms. Not the kids rooms, the guest rooms or that small bedroom but let’s talk about the big old Master Bedroom. You’d think that as a stylist, the master bedroom in my own home would be dressed to the nines with too many cushions to count, grand bedside lamps and ridiculously expensive linen. Truth be told, the bed is unmade, the lamps are from Bunnings, there’s a dog bed in the corner and while the linen is freshly washed, it’s by no means extravagant. Why am I telling you this? Well, [...]

Here at Foxy Home Staging we love a challenge. Most stylists don't bother with partial styling, its all or nothing. However, we love using our stock and pairing it with our clients most loved items.    What is Partial Styling? A 'partial' is when we come into your home and make use of as many of your existing items as we can and pair them with our own inventory. A partial usually includes removing items, brining in new items and refreshing the layout of a room. What stays and what goes? More often than not we find our [...]

By |2019-02-12T16:43:01+10:00May 22nd, 2018|DIY, Furniture Inspiration, Home Improvements, Home Staging General Interest, Home Staging Tips, Selling Your Home, Styling Furniture|

When styling your home for sale it’s understandable to ask “where is my money best spent?”. You want to make sure that the money you’re spending is going to be worth it and that you’re going to get that money back (plus more) once you’ve sold. Where should I spend my Money? Often when we style a clients home they will ask us about renovating certain areas like the kitchen or bathroom and generally we will say don’t do it (if you don't have a big budget for it). We tend to say this because while it may [...]
