Home Styling Tips for Auckland Properties
Owning property in the City of Sails has its advantages, a great vibe, multi-cultural communities, easy transportation, fantastic facilities and of course, your new home. Whether you’ve brought it as your forever home, as part of your rental property portfolio or a do up and sell, these home styling tips are certain to be of benefit when making your to-do list:
Plan layout – draw up a plan of the home which shows each room, windows and doors, with measurements if you are able. Identify areas of high traffic and look for ways you could improve the flow. This may be as simple as adjusting your furniture placement or require home renovations.
Colour – both inside and out, is the current colour scheme something you can live with, or does it need repainting? Many homeowners are choosing a neutral palette when redecorating, with a focus on creams, whites and greys together with a splash of colour. Others choose bold and bright colours to reflect their personality and preferences. Our interior designers will help you to identify colours, patterns and textures which look great and meet your lifestyle perfectly.
Furniture staging – using your plan, work out where your existing furniture could go and where you need to organise new furniture for. We can develop a Bespoke Furniture Package for your new property, incorporating new pieces and accessories with existing ones if required. We can also guide you on placement of each piece and to create a distinctive and attractive interior. Along with furniture, we can also assist with the selection of other items of décor, including window treatments through to linen, feature pieces and floor coverings.
Storage – we won’t say you can never have enough, but we do acknowledge that properties with generous storage capabilities are highly desirable. We can advise on the most suitable types and placement of storage pieces, as well as offer suggestions on how to improve upon what is already present.
Lighting – while natural lighting is the goal, if you have a lack of it, there are a few things you can do. By adding fixed ceiling and wall lights or freestanding lamps you can remove shadows from dark areas and brighten up a room. Using a light colour palette and carefully chosen and positioned accessories can also help make a room appear more open and attractive.
