Home staging

Sell with a home that buyers can picture themselves in

Most buyers meet your home in the listing photos first. Staging makes that first look count, and carries through to every show day.

What staging includes

  • A walkthrough of your home and a clear plan
  • Decluttering guidance, room by room
  • Your furniture rearranged for space, flow and light
  • Cushions, throws, art, mirrors and plants to finish each room
  • Styled and ready before the listing photos and show days

What is home staging?

Home staging is preparing a home so it shows at its best to buyers, in the listing photos and on show days. We declutter, rearrange the furniture you already have and add accessories like cushions, throws, art and plants, so buyers can picture themselves living there.

Do you bring in furniture?

We work with what's already in your home. We rearrange and edit your own furniture, then add finishing pieces such as cushions, throws, art, mirrors and plants. We don't furnish empty homes.

Can you help if I'm not selling?

Yes. Our decorating service is for people staying put: a room refresh, a new look for a lounge or bedroom, or help pulling a whole home together. We also offer interior and exterior painting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work in homes in and around Durban, including Durban North, Umhlanga, La Lucia, Morningside, Berea & Musgrave, Glenwood, Westville, Hillcrest & Kloof, Ballito and Amanzimtoti. If you're nearby and not on the list, ask anyway.

How much does it cost?

Every home is different, so we price each job after seeing the space and hearing what you need. Ask for a quote and we'll talk you through it.
