Presentation is crucial when it comes to attracting buyers and securing a sale. The right look can also help you get the best price, so it pays to spend some time getting your home styling right
THINK ABOUT YOUR HOME’S CHARACTER AND STYLE
Styling a home requires careful thought and planning to produce the appropriate ‘look’. New Zealand has such a wide variety of housing styles, from 19th century villas, to ultra modern homes, each one with its own special character and needs.
When presenting a home for sale, stylists take into consideration the era, personality, layout, key features, and colour scheme, as well as who owns the home and what the surrounding area is like.
It’s really important to think about the future owners too. Styling a home with the intention of selling requires a different mindset. It’s not about personal taste – it’s about creating a space that is neutral and adaptable enough for buyers to add their own personal touch.
DESIGN THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME
Use neutrals as your base. Black and white basics will always work – think simplicity with accessories.
If you’re planning an eclectic look, it pays to keep the hard furniture in the same range and bring your ‘mix’ through in the soft furnishings and accessories.
Whether you’re going to mix or match, the design needs a consistent theme that will tie the whole look together
