Question 1

+ Why is interior styling and/or property staging a good idea?

Accepted Answer

It’s a proven marketing technique that sells your home faster and makes you more money.  For most of us, your property is your biggest investment. By presenting it in the best possible light you create that instant appeal, helping buyers emotionally connect with the property and visualising a lifestyle. Not to mention, a beautifully-styled property transforms your professional photography and online listing.

We select the right furniture and décor to help make your space look bigger and welcoming, enhancing its best features whilst de-emphasising the less appealing ones.  We transform spaces that seem too small or too big and provide solutions of how it can be effectively used.

First impressions count so it’s worth making it a lasting one.
