The duration of the property styling process can vary depending on the size and condition of the property, as well as the availability of the property styling company. It generally involves an initial consultation, planning and design phase, furniture and accessory selection, delivery and installation, and final styling touches. On average, property styling can take a few days to a couple of weeks.
In most cases, it is not necessary to vacate your home during the property styling process. Property stylists can work around your existing furniture and belongings, incorporating them into the overall design if appropriate. However, there may be instances where decluttering or removing certain items is recommended to create a more visually appealing and spacious atmosphere. Your property styling company will provide guidance on any necessary preparations.
The decision to stage the entire property or specific rooms depends on various factors, including budget, target market, and the condition of the property. While staging the entire property can provide a cohesive and seamless look, it may not be necessary in some cases. We can work with you to determine the areas that would benefit most from staging based on market trends and buyer preferences.
We typically do not sell our furniture items as they are part of a larger and broader collection. However, in a case by case scenario we may be open to selling. Best to take photos of the items you’re interested in and contact our office to discuss.
It’s advisable to contact our team as soon as you have a tentative timeline for listing your property. This will allow ample time for the styling process, including consultations, planning, sourcing furniture and accessories, and completing the staging. It’s generally recommended to reach out to a property styling service at least a few weeks in advance to ensure availability and proper planning for a seamless styling experience.
We stage all areas of Metropolitan Melbourne. We also stage and style many regional areas. We do have our sister company, Stage Homes (link to stage homes website?) which is located in the Eastern Suburbs, between our two sites. This allows us to service almost anywhere in Victoria.
