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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
