All good agents and stylists will tell you that for a successful sale, it is imperative to de-clutter your home.

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.

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, [...]

Where To Get Your Artwork When Staging Your Home

By |2019-02-12T16:43:08+10:00March 20th, 2017|Home Staging Tips|

When you hang art in your family home, it’s been chosen for personal reasons. It may remind you of a family holiday. It might reflect your love for the ocean or the mountains. It might be a collage of your children and family. My advice to clients though, is that these pieces should be removed when selling the home. Why? Well, staging the home is about de-personalising the space and staging art is no different. It’s designed to market your home, to fill empty walls and create excitement in a buyer. Staging art will help your buyers make the emotional [...]

How To Stage A Kids Bedroom

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 [...]

Staging A Small Bedroom

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 [...]
