Think Blink

Every home has a personality and now with stylish advice from designers and a shiny new retail showroom – your house is set for stardom with Blink Living! Carlie Wacker finds out more.

In 2008, interior styling was in its infancy on the Sunshine Coast and Interior Designer Dianne Conley and Photographer Peter Lillies had a vision. They could see the potential and the opportunity for a styling business and Blink Living was born.

“I had previously worked as an interior designer refurbishing and furnishing holiday apartments and was looking for a change,” says Dianne. “As the business progressed, more and more vendors and real-estate agents could see the benefits of styling properties to take to market. Once they experience the success styling creates, they are converted.”

Now, styling a home for sale is recognised as the best way to increase sale price and reduce time on the market. The team at Blink Living have led the charge and since inception have expanded operations to include Brisbane and Geelong as well as Victoria’s surf coast.

With more than 3000 homes decorated by Blink Living, it is not hard to understand why they are so highly regarded and recommended.

“We are experts in curating fabulous, stylish and practical furniture packages to suit any holiday home, hotel or resort. Delivered on time and on budget by our experienced team, our turnkey service for new or existing properties will help to create spaces visitors will fall in love with,” says Dianne.

“We have an eclectic approach to styling. Each home has its own personality and we tap into that to carefully curate interiors that reflect the best features of the property and, if necessary, play down any shortcomings.”

For instance, imperfect floors are enhanced by using beautiful rugs; an awkward living space is made to work using pieces that fit the space perfectly; and for fabulous bedrooms, luxuriouslyappointed beds and linen make a very ordinary bedroom look fit for a queen!

Of course, all this beautiful furniture and décor needs a big warehouse and that is exactly what their team of designers need to map out and select the right products for each project. This gift of space is also the catalyst for the next exciting chapter in the Blink Living story.

Introducing Blink Living Retail located at Noosa HQ – the retail option allowing designers the opportunity to guide homeowners in selecting and buying beautiful furniture to create their own dream interiors. The new showroom in Noosaville is open from 10 December to allow enthusiastic home decorators to shop for furniture, art, and accessories with qualified interior stylists to assist with creating the perfect home environment.

How would you describe your personal style and how it translates to your business?

I’m a natural girl through-andthrough so my style usually gravitates towards earthy and rustic, always with a natural element.

I’m not into anything that has a ‘fakey’ artificial look so all our products need to be quality, interesting and authentic looking.

I’m always on the hunt for tiles that get overlooked by mainstream stores so our shelves are filled with something a bit different to what is usually on offer.

What is your most popular product?

I couldn’t say we have any “popular” tiles or products as we really don’t like following the trends.

Our main focus is to find what lights people up and find a design and concept that suits the space, purpose and their personality.
