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.

The Importance of Art in a 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.

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?

There’s nothing more frustrating than having your house on the market for more than the ‘average’ amount of time. You are in a desirable location; people are walking through, but they’re just not making any offers. So what are your options if your property isn’t selling?   Do you have the right agent? There are plenty of great agents out there, so whilst this is an easy question to ask, it isn’t always the right question.

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 [...]

Recently, I’ve attended several consults to help prepare a home to be listed for sale during spring.
