Everything people ask us first.
Straight answers, no fine print.
How much does home staging cost, and what affects the price?
You can get an indicative GST-inclusive range in under a minute on our instant quote page. We still walk the house before we lock a fixed, itemised quote.
Price depends on the size of the home, living areas (base includes 2), extras such as a granny flat, and access. Staging is an investment that scales with the home, and on prestige campaigns it typically returns a multiple of its cost at auction.
How long does the staging furniture stay in my home?
Six weeks as standard, which covers photography, opens, and auction day. Longer campaigns extend week to week at a rate flagged in your quote. After settlement, we handle removal.
How quickly can you have a property ready?
Staging installs happen within one to two weeks of an accepted quote, and take a day or two. Airbnb setups run two to four weeks. Design projects follow a timeline we agree up front.
What areas do you service?
Both sides of the bay are home ground: Brighton, Black Rock, Hampton, Sandringham, and Beaumaris in the east, and Williamstown, Newport, Altona, Altona Meadows, and Point Cook in the west. We also cover inner Melbourne, the north, and the Mornington Peninsula, and travel across Victoria for the right project.
Can you work with our existing furniture?
Yes, and we like to. Anything you love stays, and we style around it. We'll be honest about pieces working against the space, but the decision is yours.
What's included in an Airbnb styling package?
Everything a paying guest touches: furniture, beds and linen, window coverings, lighting, art, a full kitchen, and the welcome touches that show up in reviews. Guest-ready on handover day.
Do you work with real estate agents?
All the time, including on prestige and auction campaigns alongside Melbourne's leading agencies. Reliable turnarounds, listings that photograph beautifully, and a stager who makes you look good in front of your vendor. If you're an agent, let's talk.
