Thinking of DIY Styling and Staging Your Home? These Are the 6 Facts You Need to Know (From the Experts)
If you’re selling your home in Brisbane and looking to style it yourself, Sell In Style has you covered. Here are 6 expert-backed insights to help you prepare for a successful sale.
Home styling and home staging your own property can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re emotionally connected to the space. But when styling a property for sale, practicality takes a back seat—presentation is everything!
1. Staging and Styling for Sale Isn’t Practical
That’s right—styling for sale is about emotional appeal, not functionality. We often ignore things like TV outlet placements if it means better flow. The goal is to impress buyers, not cater to your usual routine.
2. We Style to Suit Your Lifestyle
Our staging isn’t one-size-fits-all. We ask questions about your household—kids, pets, routines—and tailor our styling accordingly. We aim to strike a balance between looking stunning and being manageable during the sale period.
3. Rugs Have Impact!
Rugs are our secret weapon. They help define areas, segment open-plan spaces, and add texture—all without bulky furniture.
4. It’s an Investment in Your Marketing
Think of styling as part of your marketing strategy. It boosts first impressions online and in person, increasing buyer interest—and ultimately, offers. While it’s an upfront cost, the return is typically well worth it.
5. Use Our Furniture
Using your own furniture might feel comfortable, but it often doesn’t appeal to your ideal buyer. We select pieces based on market research, space optimisation, and design trends to help your home stand out.
6. We Love Double, Queen or King Beds
Oversized, well-styled beds sell rooms. Even if it’s not what you use now, it helps buyers visualise comfort and luxury. If space is tight, a single bed works—but always focus on showcasing potential.
