Spring Styling Essentials

As the spring selling season approaches, homeowners across Melbourne are preparing to present their properties in the best possible light. With the market heating up, it’s important to make your home stand out from the crowd.

Kristy Sadlier and Nat Wheeler, co-founders of norsu Interiors

- where beautiful homewares, artwork, furniture and interior design services converge - share their expert tips on how to style your home for maximum impact during this busy season.

“We've seen a surge in last-minute customers coming in to style their homes for marketing campaign photos and open inspections,”Kristy notes. “It's clear that sellers understand the importance of presentation in today's competitive market.”

So, where should you focus your styling efforts for maximum return? Nat and Kristy break it down into five key areas:

Artwork: The Power of Visual Impact

“Art has the ability to completely transform your home,” Nat emphasises.“One hero piece at scale can make a huge impact on a room.” Her advice? Choose art that speaks to you, imagining how it might enhance your future homes as well. Norsu's pre-framed, ready-to-hang, art range makes this crucial styling step both accessible and efficient.

Cushions and Soft Furnishings: Comfort Meets Style

Injecting personality into your space can be as simple as choosing the right cushions.“Select colours that pair with other focal points in your room such as artwork and decorative objects,” Kristy suggests. “Cushions bring warmth and softness, creating an inviting feel.”

For bedrooms, Nat recommends keeping bed linen neutrala white quilt provides a great base - then adding colour through decorative cushions and throws.

Decorative Objects: The Finishing Touch

Don’t underestimate the power of well-placed decorative objects. “They are the finishing touch that makes your space look ‘complete’,” Nat explains. Her go-to items include indoor plants, vases, books, statement fruit bowls, and candles.

Cluster these objects on coffee tables, consoles, shelves, kitchen islands, or bedside tables to add that final layer of sophistication to your home.

Lighting: Setting the Mood “Nothing creates ambience within your home more than the soft glow of a lamp,” Kristy shares. She recommends layering light through lamps in almost every room to create an inviting experience for potential buyers.

Beyond the obvious placements like bedsides and desks, consider positioning lamps on hallway consoles, entertainment units, and floor lamps in cosy corners of living or formal sitting rooms.

Professional Touch: When in Doubt, Seek Expert Help

While these tips can significantly enhance your home’s appeal, sometimes it's worth engaging professional stylists for that extra edge. “We’ve been supplying products to expert stylists like Megan from Cooper Robinson since we began norsu,” Nat mentions, highlighting the value of professional expertise in home staging.

As the spring selling season gains momentum, investing in your home’s presentation can make a significant difference in attracting potential buyers and securing the best possible price. By focusing on these key areas - artwork, soft furnishings, decorative objects, lighting, and potentially professional styling - you can create a home that not only photographs beautifully for marketing campaigns but also leaves a lasting impression during open inspections.

Remember, the goal is to help potential buyers envision themselves living in the space. By implementing these norsu styling strategies, you'll create an inviting home that speaks to buyers' hearts as well as their minds. ■
