How much does home staging cost?

Home staging costs vary depending on the size of the property, the number of rooms staged, the style level required and the campaign timeline. Most quotes are tailored to the home and target buyer, which is why we recommend requesting a personalised staging quote for accurate pricing.

What affects the price of property staging?

Pricing is influenced by the property type and size, how many key areas are staged (living, dining, bedrooms, study), the level of furnishing and decor needed, access and logistics, and the length of the campaign. Homes that require a higher furniture volume or a longer hire period typically cost more.

Is home staging worth the cost?

Home staging is designed to maximise buyer appeal, help listings stand out online and create stronger emotional connection at inspections. Many sellers stage to improve perceived value, attract more competition and support a faster sale, particularly in competitive markets.

Do you offer partial staging or styling advice only?

Yes. Depending on the home and campaign goals, we can recommend partial staging for key rooms or a pre-sale styling consultation to guide decluttering, layout, light styling and presentation improvements.

How long is staging furniture hired for?

Hire periods vary based on your sales campaign. We’ll recommend a suitable staging duration aligned to your marketing timeline and can discuss extension options if your campaign requires additional time.

What services do you offer?

We specialise in property styling, home staging, partial styling for occupied homes, and commercial styling for developments, display homes, student accommodation, amenities and office or retail spaces.

Which areas do you service?

We style properties across Geelong, Surf Coast, Armstrong Creek, Bellarine, Torquay, Lara, Belmont, Highton, Grovedale, Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and Melbourne. We also take on select interstate projects across Australia.

Do you offer interstate styling?

Yes. We take on select interstate styling projects for developments, BTR, display homes and premium campaigns. A travel and logistics fee will apply, which we outline clearly in your proposal.

What is included in your home staging or property styling service?

Our styling service includes a tailored furniture and decor selection, delivery, full installation and styling, artwork and soft furnishings, plus pack-down and collection at the end of the hire period. We style to suit your property, target buyers and photography.

What is included in commercial styling?

Commercial styling covers furniture, decor and layout recommendations for spaces such as display suites, amenities, lobbies, student accommodation, sales offices and workspaces. We can work from floor plans only or attend site and coordinate installation alongside your project team.

How long is the furniture hire period?

Our standard hire period is aligned with your sales campaign, typically around 4 to 6 weeks. The exact hire period is confirmed in your quote and can be extended if your property remains on the market.

Can I extend the hire period if my property hasn’t sold?

Yes. If your property is still on the market after the initial hire period, we can extend the hire on a weekly basis for an agreed extension fee. We will remind you before the hire term ends so you can decide whether to extend.

Do you offer partial styling for occupied homes?

Yes. Partial styling is perfect if you are living in the property but want a more polished, cohesive look. We work with key pieces you already own and layer in our furniture, artwork and decor to elevate the space for photography and open homes.

How much does property styling cost?

Styling investment depends on the size of your property, how many rooms are styled, the access and location, and whether it is full or partial styling. After viewing the property or your photos and floor plan, we provide a tailored quote so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

How quickly can you install styling?

Subject to availability, we can often install within 24 to 72 hours once the quote is accepted and the agreement is signed. Let us know your photography date and we will work back from there.

Do you work directly with real estate agents and developers?

Yes. We work closely with sales agents, project marketing teams, developers and builders, as well as directly with vendors and owner-occupiers. We are happy to liaise with your agent or project team to coordinate timings and campaign needs.

What does your styling process look like?

Our process is simple: you enquire and share your address, floor plan and campaign details; we review the property via photos, plans or an on-site visit and send a tailored quote; once approved, we schedule install, curate your furniture and decor and complete styling on site; after your campaign finishes or hire period ends, we return to pack down and collect all items.

Do you provide photos or social media content of the styled property?

We regularly collaborate with agents and vendors to create shareable photos and short-form video content of our styled properties. Professional real estate photography is usually organised by your agent, and we can complement this with behind-the-scenes or social content where requested.

What happens if I need to cancel or change my booking?

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know as soon as possible. Any cancellation or change fees are outlined in your styling agreement and depend on how close we are to the scheduled install date and how much preparation has already been completed.

Do you supply artwork, rugs and decor as part of the styling?

Yes. We supply furniture, artwork, rugs, cushions, bedding, lighting and decor pieces curated specifically for your property. Our goal is to create a cohesive look that photographs beautifully and appeals to your target buyers.

Styling Your Interiors for the New Year: A Fresh Start at Home

January 2, 2026 Arlyn Embestro

A new year is the perfect moment to reset—not just your goals, but your home too. Interior styling isn’t about replacing everything you own; it’s about refining, editing, and creating spaces that feel calm, elevated, and intentional. Whether you’re planning a full refresh or subtle updates, styling your interiors for the new year can dramatically shift how your home looks and how it feels.

1. Start With a Reset, Not a Renovation

Before buying anything new, begin with a clear-out. Edit what no longer serves your space or your lifestyle. Remove excess décor, outdated furniture, or pieces that feel heavy or cluttered. This instantly allows your home to breathe and creates a strong foundation for styling with purpose.

Stylist tip: Think “hotel energy” — calm, curated, and uncluttered.

2. Refresh Your Colour Palette

New year interiors are leaning towards warm neutrals, soft whites, layered beiges, and organic tones. These palettes create timeless spaces that feel both modern and comforting.

You don’t need to repaint your entire home to achieve this:

- Update cushions and throws

- Swap bold décor for softer tonal pieces

- Introduce natural textures like timber, linen, stone, and ceramics

A cohesive colour palette instantly elevates your interiors and creates visual flow from room to room.

3. Layer Texture for Depth & Warmth

Texture is what makes a home feel styled rather than staged. For the new year, focus on layering materials:

- Linen or boucle upholstery

- Timber coffee tables or sideboards

- Woven rugs and baskets

- Matte ceramics and stone accents

These elements add warmth, depth, and a subtle luxury without overpowering your space.

4. Rework Your Furniture Layout

Sometimes the biggest change comes from simply rethinking how furniture is arranged. Ask yourself:

- Does this layout encourage flow?

- Is the room balanced visually?

- Are focal points (like windows, artwork, or fireplaces) being highlighted?

Even small shifts—like angling a chair, centring a rug, or reducing furniture size—can completely transform a room.

5. Style With Intention (Less, But Better)

In 2025, interior styling is moving away from excess and towards intentional styling. Instead of filling every surface:

- Choose fewer, high-quality pieces

- Style in groups of odd numbers

- Leave negative space to let key items shine

- Books, sculptural objects, greenery, and art should feel curated—not crowded.

6. Bring Life In With Greenery

Plants instantly refresh a home and soften interiors. Whether it’s a statement fiddle leaf fig, trailing greenery on shelves, or fresh florals on a dining table, greenery adds life, texture, and calm—perfect for the new year reset.

7. Think Beyond Aesthetics: How You Want to Live

The most important question when styling for the new year is:
How do you want your home to support your lifestyle?

- More calm? Simplify and neutralise.

- More entertaining? Open up living spaces and add functional seating.

- More rest? Focus on bedroom styling with layered bedding and soft lighting.

Great styling isn’t just beautiful—it’s practical, considered, and aligned with how you live.

Final Thoughts

Styling your interiors for the new year is about creating a space that feels intentional, elevated, and effortless. With thoughtful edits, layered textures, and a cohesive palette, your home can feel refreshed without feeling overdone.

If you’re ready to take your interiors to the next level, professional styling can help you achieve a refined, cohesive look that works beautifully for everyday living—or positions your home perfectly for sale.

✨ A new year deserves a space that feels just as considered as your goals.
