Understanding why property styling works to attract potential buyers is a key step in feeling comfortable in your investment in furniture hire. It’s important to understand how property styling works. The creation of visual interest, comparative impact and emotional engagement are the three main priorities of property styling.

Why Property Styling?
Visual Interest
Our selections are designed to create visual interest. Not for the potential buyer’s aesthetic pleasure but because it will a) cause buyers to be visually engaged in your online listing and click through to the profile b) when at the property to stay longer at the property and c) help them envisage how the spaces can be used.
Comparative Impact
Buyers do have a lot of choices, whether that is in the apartment, unit, or townhouse or even new build stand-alone homes. All you need to do is drive through the inner urban areas where medium to high-density apartments blocks are going up, through our suburban streets to view all the knockdown/side by side townhouse developments or our outer suburb estate projects. So how can you make your listing stand out? Your property must be able to stand out whether that’s during late-night online scrolling when viewing the For Sale board at the front of the property and then once you get them through the door. How does your property compare?
Emotional Engagement
So the effort invested in furniture hire and professional home stylists has paid off, the potential buyer is in the door. What will keep them there? What will make them choose your property over the competition? What will make them stick in a competitive offer at auction and outbid other potential buyers? Our property styling has had a visual and comparative impact. Now they are through the door we need to engage at an emotional level with the buyer. They need to feel welcome, at home, invited, and secure. They need to be able to visualise themselves, their family, and friends in the space. Whether that’s aspirational or reassuring in nature our professional property styling is seeking to connect with the buyer at this last but most critical level.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a property styling agreement?
Once you’ve approved your Property Styling Quote, you’ll receive an email containing a link to your Property Styling Agreement. Simply fill out the form, review the terms and conditions carefully, and then submit it.
The agreement outlines essential responsibilities found in our Terms and Conditions and addresses a variety of potential scenarios, including:
- When payment is due
- What happens if your home isn’t ready on installation day
- Insurance coverage on our styling stock
- Accountability for any damage to furnishings or the home
You’ll also be asked to provide access details for the styling day, confirm if the power is connected, and indicate whether you give consent to use hooks on walls.
We require this completed agreement at least two business days before styling. Without it, your installation date may need to be rescheduled.
When will I be invoiced?
Shortly after you confirm your quote, you’ll receive an invoice via email.
This invoice includes our banking details for direct transfers or a secure payment link for credit card payments.
Please note that American Express and Diners Club cards are not accepted.
Your styling booking won’t be secured until payment is received in full, so please ensure your invoice is paid at least two business days prior to the installation date.
What is Style Now & Pay Later?
Style Now & Pay Later is a layby-style payment option that allows you to access up to $15,000 in home styling and improvement services. It is interest-free and can be paid off early, although set-up and administrative fees do apply. This is not a credit product and will not affect your credit report.
If you’d like to use this service, let us know promptly. You can select this option when completing your Property Styling Agreement. As this service is facilitated by a third-party provider, a separate application form will be emailed to you. Please complete and return it as soon as possible so we can submit it to Certegy for assessment.
After approval, you’ll be sent a Verification Code and your Layby Contract. Review the terms and accept them.
Terms acceptance must also occur at least two business days prior to styling. If this step is delayed, your installation may be postponed.
Moving your furniture / storage
If you need assistance moving your own furniture or storing items during your sale, we can connect you with reliable movers we recommend. Unfortunately, we do not provide moving or storage services ourselves
Not quite ready?
We understand that preparing a home for sale can be unpredictable. If you think your styling installation may need to be postponed, please advise us at least two business days beforehand.
If we’re notified only the day before—or on the day of—styling, and the property is not ready (e.g. not cleared), a call-out fee will apply to cover staff and removalist time. This is outlined in our Terms and Conditions. We will do our best to rebook your styling on the next available date.
What Happens on the styling day?
Before your styling appointment, we’ll reach out to confirm access and provide an estimated time of arrival. It’s important that no one is present during styling to ensure a smooth process and maintain a safe workspace.
We’ll let you know if the styling will take longer than expected and follow through on arrangements to secure the property once we’re done.
After styling
Although rare, occasional issues such as artwork becoming dislodged may occur during the styling period. If you notice anything, please contact us at 9108 5700 or email hello@propertystylingmorningtonpeninsula.com.au and we’ll promptly address the matter.
Unstaging
We’ll contact you a few days before your styling term concludes to confirm access and scheduling for removing the furnishings.
What if the property doesn't sell?
In rare cases (fewer than 2% of homes we style), a property may not sell within the initial 6-week contract or at auction. If this happens, we may be able to extend your styling if the furniture hasn’t been allocated to another project. While we aim to accommodate, extensions are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.
Throughout the entire process, we’ll stay in touch with updates via email and text, covering key steps and important reminders.
If you have further queries, reach out to us at 9108 5700 or via email at hello@propertystylingmorningtonpeninsula.com.au
