A Masterclass in Communication and Collaboration
Most real estate agents recognise the value of home staging – and we’re lucky enough to work with some of the best! With their expert market knowledge and our creative flair, your home is styled to meet the market head on.
We’re often asked, “How do you create the wow factor?” The answer is simple. We’ve got the qualifications, experience, and the product to stage your home to perfection… but we always approach it with humility and care.
Our strength is design. The real estate agents bring the market knowledge. Together, we’re a force to be reckoned with.
A family home in Ilam? Great, we’ll nail it! Inner-city hipsters? We’ll knock that apartment right out of Hagley Park. Seaside in Sumner? We’re all over it.
With a focus on quality furnishings and thoughtful styling, each property we stage gets the same attention to detail. But none of it happens in isolation – we always begin with a thorough consultation with the agent to ensure our styling aligns with the target market. And we’re delighted to report: the results often exceed expectations.
Architecturally Influenced
It would be irresponsible not to consider the style of architecture and the location of properties during the staging process.
We’re lucky in Christchurch to have some of the world’s most iconic buildings and houses dating back to the late 1950s when post-war architects developed a movement that would become internationally known as ‘The Christchurch Style’. The properties are legendary, but they’re not going to suit a staged décor influenced by the vintage charm of Cottagecore! However, maybe a turn-of-the-century weatherboard cottage in St Albans would make the perfect setting for an aspirational form of nostalgia.
Likewise, we take into account the size of the property and the perceived space. Influencing proportions and scale through effective staging is a cost-effective way of enhancing a home as it goes to market.
And, of course, there’s the outlook. We’ll enhance indoor-outdoor flow, lean into the views, distract from the neighbour’s garage…whatever it takes, we’re up for it!
Different Strokes for Different Folks
Diversity is a beautiful thing – and just like no two people are the same, no two homes are either.
That said, when staging a home for sale, our job is to help the agent attract a broad spectrum of buyers. More interest means more offers, and ultimately, a stronger sale.
Give us a call today, and we’ll take you for a walk along our creative tightrope – where market appeal and stunning design go hand in hand.
