The aim of property styling is to have your home stand out from other properties by improving the look and appeal, thereby increasing buyer interest. Engaging a professional stylist can add value to your home by helping buyers visualise the lifestyle and full potential your home has to offer, achieving a quicker sale and price uplift that exceeds the cost of the styling service.
A property stylist selects furnishings to emphasise space and function for each individual property, they can advise on decluttering and refurbishments to fully prepare a property for market. Stylists use their creativity to choose furnishings based on target market/demographics, physical environment and budget. These efforts aim to attract buyers, reduce time to sell and maximise value.
Many of our clients have received a substantial return on investment up to 40 times the cost to style as a result of the sale price exceeding expectations.
Property styling is a must have marketing investment, especially when considering your property is usually your largest asset and you only have one chance to get it right. Clients can achieve on the cost to style, by achieving an increase the sale price by tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Property styling prices start from $3000 (Incl GST + Delivery) for a studio apartment and increases for larger homes with multiple living and outdoor spaces.
Property styling costs vary depending on factors such as the property size and access, as well as how much furniture and styling is required. Evolve can provide a Full or Partial Styling service where we might be able to use some of your existing furniture (if suitable) to reduce costs.

Styled homes add as much as 7.5 to 12.5% increase on your final sale price and reduces the time to market. The first impression your property has on potentials buyers is crucial, you want your home to be memorable, have a ‘wow’ factor and stand out from the crowd. In today’s competitive market, an empty or poorly presented property lacks appeal to potential buyers.

The standard rental period is for 6-weeks (4 weeks paid + 2 weeks free). This period covers a typical auction campaign, usually your Estate Agent would like your property styled a week prior to the first open to allow time for photography and marketing production, the complementary week at the end of the rental period allows time for collection to be arranged or your buyer to have a last walk through whilst your property is still beautifully presented.
If your property has not sold within the rental period, with notification, you are able to continue to rent the furnishings on a week to week commitment at a reduced weekly rental rate.
We love pets; however, it can be unhygienic for pets to come into contact with furnishings. It is the responsibility of the owners to return all furnishings in the same pristine condition it was installed, so we suggest covering furnishings, rolling and standing rugs and bagging soft furnishings between open home inspections.
Our helpful stylists are happy to assist with photos and instructions to prepare for opens, as well as coverings and bags to be left onsite. It is recommended that during the sales campaign to house pets elsewhere, as the odour from pets may dissuade prospective buyers.

Styling a property for market is very different to Interior Design, Property Styling should appeal to as broad a market as possible, whilst still referencing the style of the house, where Interior Design reflects a homeowner’s personal taste and lifestyle needs. Trust that our experts along with your Estate Agent know the market and ultimately want to aid you in reducing time to sell and/or providing you with the best possible return on the property.
It is the responsibility of the homeowner to return all items in good order. The refundable security deposit we secure is to cover minor breakages, cleaning and repairs in case of a mishap.
