Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Get in touch with the KE Property Styling team directly and we’ll get back to you promptly.
Can I see your portfolio?
Yes – browse our property styling look book for our Modern Neutral and Contemporary Designer styling galleries, or view our before and after transformations. You can also follow our work on Instagram and Houzz.
What is your lead time?
We ask for at least 7 days notice where possible, though we can often accommodate quicker turnarounds depending on stock availability. Get in touch as early as possible to secure your preferred installation date.
What do I need to do before installation day?
Everything discussed and agreed during your styling consultation forms the basis for your installation plan. Once your installation is booked, you’ll receive a detailed “Getting Ready” checklist covering exactly what to prepare, move, and remove before the KE Property Styling team arrives.
What is your minimum hire period?
All KE Property Styling packages include 8 weeks of furniture hire as standard. If your campaign extends beyond this period, contact us to discuss an extension.
Can I live in the property with pets or children during the staging campaign?
Yes – we understand that many of our clients continue living in their home during their sales campaign. We simply need to know who will be occupying the property so we can put the right measures in place to protect our furniture and accessories.
A refundable security deposit will be requested for properties occupied by children or pets. We’ll discuss this during your consultation so there are no surprises.

Are packages available?
Yes – every KE Property Styling engagement is tailored to your specific property, target buyer and campaign requirements. Get in touch to discuss what your property needs and we’ll put together a package that works for your situation and budget.
How do I maintain a staged home during my sales campaign?
Maintaining a staged home does require some effort – keeping surfaces clear, resetting rooms after inspections and making sure everything looks its best for open homes. KE Property Styling provides practical guidance on how to manage this as part of your campaign preparation. Most clients find it becomes second nature within the first week.
What happens if my property sells before the hire period ends?
Congratulations – that’s exactly the result we’re working towards. We’ll arrange a furniture collection at a time that suits you. Please note that collection appointments are scheduled from 8am. We’ll be in touch to confirm the details once your sale is confirmed.
Does home staging really make a difference to the sale price?
Absolutely – and the evidence is clear. Research shows that professionally staged homes can deliver up to a 400% return on investment. In one KE Property Styling case study, a client invested $3,500 in staging and sold for $22,000 above their asking price.
Staging works because it helps buyers emotionally connect with a property at first inspection and in online listing photographs – both critical moments in the Melbourne market where first impressions drive competition and auction results
Do you offer payment plans or finance options for staging?
Yes – KE Property Styling has partnered with Elepay to offer a stage now, pay at settlement option. You access the full staging service upfront with no out-of-pocket cost, and the fee is settled at the time your property sells. Approvals of up to $10,000 for up to 120 days are available.
Can I make changes to my furniture package after it's been agreed?
Yes, with some flexibility. Staging packages are designed specifically for your property and target buyer, so significant changes can affect the overall presentation strategy. That said, we understand that circumstances change and we’re happy to discuss adjustments where possible.
Get in touch with what you have in mind and we’ll let you know what’s achievable and provide a revised quote if needed.
Is property staging worth it for a smaller or lower-priced home?
Absolutely – and this is one of the most common misconceptions about property staging. Vendors selling at lower price points often benefit the most from staging, because they’re competing in a market segment where presentation differences are highly visible to buyers comparing similar properties.
Professional staging helps your home stand out regardless of its size or price point. It’s not about making a home look more expensive – it’s about presenting it at its absolute best to attract the right buyers and generate competition. Every home benefits from that.
