Top 4 Home Staging Myths Debunked
Today we’re talking about all things staging myths. We recently posted about it on Instagram, and it sparked a great conversation, so we’re busting the top 4 myths we often hear about home styling and staging.
At Sell In Style Property Styling, we’ve heard them all—but now we’re setting the record straight with real insight from our team of experts.
1. It’s an expense
Styling your home isn’t an expense—it’s an investment. Professional styling and staging help increase your final sale price, often outweighing the upfront cost.
We offer flexible packages including partial styling and integrated styling for budget-conscious sellers. Our team works with your goals and budget in mind.
2. It’s a waste of time
Styling your home doesn’t take forever. In fact, our average installation time is just 2–4 hours depending on your package:
- 1-bedroom package: ~2 hours
- 2-bedroom package: ~2–2.5 hours
- 3-bedroom package: ~2–3 hours
- 4-bedroom package: ~3–4 hours
Plus, we can book consultations within 1–3 business days—no long waits.
3. I can stage my own home
You certainly *can* stage your own home, but working with professionals like us ensures maximum impact. Our team styles for sale, not daily living—keeping interior design principles, layout, flow and buyer psychology in mind.
We also analyse area demographics with RP data to tailor your styling. For those needing a hybrid solution, our integrated styling service blends your furniture with ours for a cohesive look.
4. It doesn’t change the selling outcome
This is the biggest myth of all. Styling your home can increase your sale price by up to 5% and decrease days on market. When buyers emotionally connect to your home, they’re more likely to act quickly and offer more.
