How Property Styling Can Seriously Boost Your Sale Price
(...and make buyers fall in love at first sight)
Let’s be honest - selling your home is a big deal. Whether you’re a homeowner trying to get top dollar or an agent prepping a property for market, one thing matters more than most people realise: how the home looks and feels the moment someone walks through the door.
In today’s market, people aren’t just buying a place to live. They’re buying into a lifestyle - a vibe, an emotion. And that’s exactly what property styling helps you create.
What Is Property Styling, Really?
You’ve probably heard the term before, but in case you’re new to it, property styling (or home staging) is the art of dressing up a home to make it as appealing as possible to potential buyers.
It’s not about decorating to your own taste. It’s about showing off the home’s best features, helping people picture themselves living there, and making them think, “Wow... I could see myself here.”
Do Styled Homes Actually Sell for More?
Short answer? Yes - big time.
Styled homes:
Sell up to 15% more than unstyled homes
Spend way less time on the market
Get more eyes, more foot traffic, and better offers
Think of it like this: You wouldn’t show up to a job interview in pyjamas, right? Same goes for your home. Styling gets it dressed for success.
Want to Try DIY First? Start Here.
If you’re not quite ready to hire a professional stylist, there’s still a lot you can do yourself to get things looking sharp:
Declutter like your sale depends on it (because it kinda does)
Pack away personal items, clear off countertops, and ditch the bulky furniture. Less stuff = more space.
Let the light in
Open up those blinds and clean the windows. Natural light makes everything feel fresher and bigger.
Stick to neutral colours
Soft, earthy tones make rooms feel calm and spacious. Save the personality for throw pillows or plants.
Create little moments
Style a cosy reading nook, set the dining table, fluff the pillows. These small touches help people feel at home.
Think like a buyer
Walk through your house like it’s the first time. What’s the vibe? Would you want to live here?
