First impressions last
you would have heard this term and its absolutely right. As a professional property stylist, my job is to transform your home into a space that buyers instantly connect with. And do you know the secret behind those amazing transformations? I’m always shopping for the latest trends
Why Trend-Driven Styling Sells Homes Faster
Today’s buyers are more style-savvy than ever. They’re scrolling Pinterest, saving Instagram Reels, and they walk into open homes expecting it straight out of TikTok Videos.
When the home reflects new trends, it sends a message: this home is fresh and ready to move into.
That’s why I spend a lot of time sourcing new furniture, decor, artwork and accessories. From statement pieces to on-trend textures and colour palettes, I’m constantly curating a collection that makes homes feel happy, calm and liveable.
When I am on a shopping spree:
I don’t just shop for the sake of it — every item I choose is part of a larger vision. When I style a home, I consider:
- Current interior design trends that appeal to today’s buyers
- The target market for your property (first-home buyers, families, downsizers, etc.)
- What will elevate your property photos and make your listing stand out online
- The emotional connection buyers need to feel when they step inside
Whether it’s a curved chair, sculptural vases, soft layered linens or beautiful wall art — each piece is chosen with the goal of helping your home sell faster and at a better price.
The Perfect Mix: Trend + Timeless
I love keeping up with the latest trends, but I know it’s all about balance. I don’t go over the top with what’s “new” — instead, I mix classic pieces with a few modern touches. This way, the space feels fresh and stylish, but still warm and inviting. It’s the kind of look that appeals to more buyers and makes them feel right at home.
How It Benefits You, the Seller
When you work with a stylist who stays ahead of the trend, you get:
- A beautifully presented home that stands out in a competitive market
- A faster sale by creating emotional appeal and urgency
- Potentially a higher sale price thanks to increased perceived value
- Less stress knowing your home looks its absolute best
And yes, all that shopping I do? It’s not just for show — it’s how I make sure every piece adds value. Because every detail I choose helps create a space that sells.
