staging tips

Create a great first impression

you may not get a second opportunity

Create balance

don’t over clutter and nor should you underdress

Don’t forget flowers

everybody is drawn to the colour, texture and smell

It's all in the detail

savvy buyers have a discerning eye for the little things

Lighting & light fittings are important

a cold, dark room is an uninviting one

Have a focal point

one beautiful piece can lift an entire room

Lighten up

a natural light bright home is a healthy looking home

Symmetry

internal space and flow are key triggers

Aesthetic consistency

be sympathetic to the building's style

Comfort is king

buyers may want elegance, but not at the expense of comfort

Contemporary colours

nothing says old and tired quite like a 15 year old colour palette
