Home Staging

‘The art of presenting a property in its best possible light.’

To enable a fast, profitable sale / rental

Worthwhile for any property - any budget.

We can advise, help with, or even take over your project.

Don’t waste money… have a clear priority list

Online or On-site Consultations

Why should you consider Home Staging?

Whether you’re a home-owner, a landlord or a property developer, if you’re trying to sell or rent-out your property in this tough economic climate, you’re going to need to “stand out from the crowd”.  Once a house is put on the market, it becomes more than a home, it’s a product, and just like any other product for sale, it will face lots of competition out there. It needs to look its best and appeal to as broad a market as possible.

Any time spent preparing a property for sale is always worthwhile, and it improves the appeal of any property – small or large – empty or full to the rafters. Home Staging doesn’t need to be an expensive or complicated process, and a Consultation will allow you to clear your head, prioritise the tasks and have a realistic plan. You then have the option to continue the project yourself … or work through it together … or pass the project over to us.

Home Staging is an art … and there is a fine balance between adding value or wasting profit

We will advise you how to spend as little as possible to give the maximum impact. If you are staging your current home, often all that is required is a good tidy-up, with a few finishing touches, ready for the photographs. An empty property will need some furniture and finishing touches too, but we can advise on the most cost-effective solutions.

We can advise, help with, or even take over your project, and we can increase the saleability even within a few hours. We can liaise with your Agents to ensure the property will appeal to the target market. We work within your budget, and you will have a clear understanding of the priorities, so that no money or time is wasted on unnecessary work.

For any project, large or small, we can work online, via photos and video calls with clients all over the UK, or on-site in Bath, Bristol, N.Somerset, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire (and further afield if required). Either way, you receive the same practical advice, inspirational ideas and a plan of action.  For local projects, we can purchase, deliver, unpack and style everything for you, before those important final photographs are taken of every room. We can quote for this as required, and will work within any budget you set us.

Our Consultant can also help with…

Preparing for Rental or an Airbnb listing
There are so many things you must consider when preparing for others to stay in your property, whether short or long term.  The rooms need to look fresh and inviting, yet also have to be practical and safe for everyone who will stay there.

Planning a DIY project
Many practical clients are happy to take the advice offered during a Consultation, and go ahead and do some …or all… of the work themselves. I offer a Coaching service if you need advice occasionally.

Styling a Show Home
Developers love our fast turnaround and practical approach, within their budgets. See our Show Home page.

Fast one-day home staging
Sometimes all that’s needed is a tidy-up, quick re-style, and photographs – all in one day.  This service is for local clients within travelling distance.  Friends and family can help too – we can co-ordinate everyone efficiently.

Preparing for the move
Most people are daunted by the thought of packing-up their entire home and moving everything into another property. But the earlier you start decluttering and packing away items not required for a while, the less stress there will be on removals day.  See our Moving Assistance page.

Furnishing rental properties
If you want to let your property “fully furnished”, we can arrange that for you.

“Yes, I do think the staging definitely sold it. Thank you, great job. Their first offer was £220k and we got them up to £237k. Everyone liked the staging. I doubt we would have got more than £200k without it. Very happy to ever recommend you.”
