A Day in the Life of a Property Stylist

Okay, so you see all the output of a stylist’s creative direction—but do you know all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into their day-to-day? At Sell in Style Property Styling, we’ve crafted a detailed guide on what it’s like to work as a property stylist. The planning and precision that goes into each styling install is the secret behind our polished final product.

Warehouse Duties

Much of our work starts at the warehouse. Planning each install is a meticulous process. Here’s what goes into it:

• Step 1: Stylists check the weekly run sheet for property assignments and install details.
• Step 2: They analyse the property, buyer demographic, and photos to make informed styling decisions.
• Step 3: They fill out quotes, packing lists, and determine the design theme—starting with art selection.
• Step 4: Furniture is selected and labelled for the logistics team to load.
• Step 5: Accessories like vases, trinkets, and greenery are chosen.
• Step 6: Linen and decorative cushions are selected to match the theme.
• Step 7: Packing lists are passed to logistics who prep the truck for install day.
