Styling your property helps create a strong first impression and allows potential buyers to envision themselves living in the space. It highlights the home’s best features, makes rooms appear more spacious, and can increase perceived value, often leading to faster sales and higher offers.
The cost of property styling can vary depending on the size of the property and the level of service required. Typically, packages start from a few thousand dollars for smaller homes or partial styling and can go upwards for larger properties or full-service styling. It’s an investment that often pays off with a higher sale price.
The process usually takes 1–2 weeks from consultation to installation. The initial consultation helps identify the best approach, followed by furniture and decor sourcing and installation. Once approved, the setup typically takes a day or two.
Not always. If your current furniture aligns with the desired look and target market, a stylist might incorporate it. However, for maximum impact, replacing or supplementing your furniture with rental pieces often achieves a more cohesive and appealing result.
The furniture and decor used for styling are typically rented for a specified period (e.g., 4 weeks). After the rental period or once the property is sold, the styling team will remove all items. If you wish to extend the rental or purchase specific pieces, that can often be arranged.
The most critical aspect is creating a space that is functional, stylish, and comfortable for guests. This includes durable, easy-to-maintain furniture, ample storage, and thoughtful touches like high-quality linens, Wi-Fi, and kitchen essentials. Aesthetic appeal is also important to stand out in listings and attract bookings.
The budget depends on the size of the property and the level of quality you want to offer. For a one-bedroom property, a complete fit-out (furniture, appliances, decor, and essentials) typically start at $10,000 . Larger properties or high-end finishes can cost significantly more. Investing in durable, mid-range items often yields the best return.
Key items include:
Focus on unique design elements, local decor accents, and guest-friendly touches such as amenities and curated guides to the area. Invest in professional photography to showcase the property and highlight features like outdoor spaces, scenic views, or luxury amenities.
Items in short-term rentals face heavy use, so regular maintenance is essential. Replace linens, kitchenware, and small appliances as needed (typically every 1–2 years). Inspect furniture and larger items every 3–5 years or sooner if wear and tear becomes noticeable. Regular deep cleaning also extends the life of furnishings and keeps the property appealing to guests.
