Have you ever wondered what happens in my work week? I often ask myself the same question! My duties can seem completely endless – ranging from offering interior design expertise to van driving and being the logistics queen!
One thing’s for certain, though: I love my job, and I get a great kick out of making your home look the best it can be, so that you can achieve the sale.
Razzle dazzle
It all starts with a phone call from a client or a real estate agent, followed by a site visit. I prepare the quote, and once that’s accepted, we get to work on increasing the potential of the property. Anything that can make your home shine is what we are skilled at doing. Typically, it will involve a large amount of decluttering and re-dressing. I might be meeting six or seven new clients each week.
Measure and treasure
I will often be seen measuring out rooms and sketching out dimensions on my job card. I need to know where all the doors and windows are, and hence what furniture will work in each space. I also think carefully about the placement of tables and chairs. For example, I consider all the details, like whether narrow or thicker chair legs will work best at a dining table. I want your place to shine!
Transformation day
As soon as I’ve had the go-ahead, I will start carrying in the furniture and placing it. That’s where we have a couple of clever tricks – like beds that will go up steep stairs and mattresses that don’t weigh a ton! I might be working with colours based on a particular piece of artwork or the wall colours – it’s different every time. But the goal is the same: to make your home look inviting, liveable and luxurious.
The finishing touches
As our name suggests, this is the fun and final part of the process – adding the accessories, flowers or candles etc. Once everything is in place, we photograph the completed project and give our clients a look around. And every time, they are delighted with the results. We love what we do, and we’re sure you will, too.
