FAQ

How does Melbourne's unique architecture influence staging choices?

Melbourne boasts a mix of Victorian terraces, modern apartments, and mid-century homes. Staging often plays to these architectural strengths, highlighting period features in older homes or creating a sleek, minimalist feel in contemporary spaces.

Are there specific colours that perform well in Melbourne's staging market?

Neutrals are always popular for broad appeal, but trending colours in Melbourne often lean towards earthy tones, deep blues, and greens, reflecting the natural surroundings and a sophisticated urban aesthetic.

How important is outdoor space staging in Melbourne, considering our love for alfresco living?

Extremely important! Buyers love Melbourne's lifestyle, so staging balconies, courtyards, and gardens to be inviting and functional, as extensions of the living space, is crucial.

What are common mistakes homeowners make when staging in Melbourne?

Over-personalizing, cluttering, and ignoring architectural style are common pitfalls. Staging should create a desirable lifestyle, not reflect the current owner's specific tastes.

Does staging account for Melbourne's distinct seasons?

While core staging elements remain consistent, adjustments might be made. For example, emphasizing cozy textures for winter listings or lighter, brighter elements for summer campaigns can subtly enhance appeal.

How can staging help sell apartments in inner-city suburbs like Carlton or Southbank?

For apartments, staging focuses on maximizing perceived space, defining functional zones (e.g., work nook, dining area), and showcasing the potential for a sophisticated urban lifestyle, which is a major draw for buyers in these areas.

Is it worth staging older, character-filled homes in suburbs like Hawthorn or Kew?

Absolutely. Staging these homes can beautifully complement their existing charm, highlighting period details like fireplaces or intricate cornices while adding modern comforts and broad buyer appeal.
