Because this is a high-impact 4-hour transformation, photos are reviewed first to make sure the space is suitable for the service — this helps avoid investing in a session that wouldn’t deliver meaningful results in the timeframe. If your space needs a larger redesign, that can be discussed honestly before booking.

Messy is okay — unsuitable is different. The service works best when the space has a workable layout and existing furniture that can be styled. Renovations, major repairs or extensive removals may need a different service.

One main space: one bedroom, one living/dining area, or a small studio apartment.

No — please don’t buy anything just for the session. The first step is working with what you already have. If something is genuinely missing, it can be recommended after the styling session.

Décor, lamps, cushions, artwork and other styling pieces may be temporarily brought together from different rooms so we can see what works best in the target space — it’s about curating what you already own.

Standard items such as chairs, side tables, rugs and lamps can be moved as part of the styling. For extremely heavy items — solid wardrobes, pianos, very large modular sofas — they should be in their general position before the session, or a second adult should be available to assist.

This is a surface-level tidy and styling reset, not a deep-cleaning service. The focus is decluttering, reorganising and styling surfaces so the room looks and feels refreshed.

You can stay, but many clients prefer to give the stylist space to work so they can enjoy the full reveal at the end.

Furniture placement is finalised and the room is styled with cushions, artwork, décor and lighting. The final hour is about the details that pull the room together, followed by a walkthrough and reveal.

Items aren’t automatically brought to sell on the day. If sourcing is requested, selected items can be purchased as an additional service — depending on timing and availability, items may be brought to the property.

That’s completely fine — missing pieces can be identified during the session and added to a future shopping list with recommendations suited to the room, style and budget.

Yes — as an additional service for clients who want a more hands-off experience. Selected furniture and décor can be sourced and purchased using interior-design trade access, with approximately 20–50% off retail depending on the supplier. Discounts vary by supplier and item and aren’t guaranteed.

Items are selected based on your style, space and budget. Item costs are paid by you, and sourcing/purchasing is quoted separately from the 4-hour Styling Blitz. Where practical, purchased items may be brought to the property on the styling day; otherwise delivery is arranged directly to your home.

Standard furniture and décor items, happily. Extremely heavy or specialty items — solid oak wardrobes, pianos, very large furniture — must be pre-positioned or moved with assistance from another adult. Please disclose access restrictions, stairs, lifts and any unusually heavy items before the appointment.
