HOME STAGING & PROPERTY STYLING EXPERTS/
HOME STYLISTS -SMARTHOUSE SPACES
So you're selling your home and think you might need a home stager/property styling professional. Home staging is fast becoming recognised as producing superior sales results in a competitive housing market.
But you want a home stylist you can trust. Someone who can point out appropriate changes to make, understands your need for daily functioning while the house is in its sale period, and one you feel comfortable will work with you and within your budget.
Meet Lillien Curtis, owner and creator of SmartHouse Spaces property styling, home staging and colour consultancy based on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Lillien has a wealth of professional experience and she is qualified in both interior and fashion design. She believes that our environments have a great impact on us psychologically. Spaces must be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. We understand every client is an individual and every home presents it own challenges.
So what are the underlying principles of property styling that Lillien uses to transform your home for sale?
-
Spaces must be functional as well as aethestically pleasing.
It should not be an effort to live in a room. For example, a huge objet d'art may look wonderful on a coffee table, but it will have to be moved into position every time the home has an inspection. This is hard work and eventually the item will remain elsewhere. This is not comfortable living.
- Changes in rooms do not have to be enormous to be effective in home staging.
Modification is always possible and people should not be inflexible in how they use their rooms for home staging. Just because a bedroom was once an office doesn't mean it can't be a study! Your home is now a product competing with other properties. Just because a certain room has always been that room, don't think that it needs to remain forever. A room analysis decides what it might become in order to appeal to your target market. With home staging some minor changes, like placing a particular key item, or culling objects from the space can be amazingly effective in property styling.
- Use colour to alter perceptions - it will help your home sell.
What would the world be without colour? Colour can effect our moods and can be used in varying degrees. Lillien believes it's a question of balance and harmony. A neutral background is more flexible for home staging purposes, but not everyone is up for a repaint. Producing a totally new feeling for a room is achievable with furniture, curtains, rugs even flowers and fruit. Easy change is possible.
- Be bold about changing your home environment.
You should not be frightened to change your environment by using a property stylist service if selling or moving properties. Homes grow and evolve as we do. Family needs may change over the years, for example, when children leave home. Don't plan on moving, but tired of the same old look? We've all been inside places that are stuck in a time warp and think, "how nice this would be without those awful dusty curtains hiding a fantastic view and a mission brown trim". A home is a real embodiment of ourselves and shows the world how we like to live. Its decoration and embellishments should never be static.
We look with a professional eye and take the emotion out of change. This process works in your interest.
