The process
Everyone loves a home full of warmth, character and not too much clutter when looking for a new home. Buyers need to see themselves creating their home in your space. To create this look and feel, vendors often spend thousands of dollars hiring furniture for their sales campaign. Real estate agents will nearly always recommend having a home fully or partially styled as it makes their jobs easier and often drives the sale price much higher. Why? Because a clean, fresh, textured, warm look entices buyers. But what if you can’t afford to style? Or what if most of your furniture is perfectly fine, but you might need a new rug or coffee table? What if you just can’t get your head around what needs to go and what needs to stay? Where to put your existing furniture or plants? JKW Interiors can sort all of these headaches for you at a fraction of the cost. Instead of changing your entire house, we offer to go through your house room by room and offer experienced styling advice from decluttering, to the purchase of new items. And the best part is - you get to keep the fresh new looks.
Decluttering, depersonalisation
and general tidy up!
It is most important to keep in mind that your home has to appeal to someone else - not to you. So, with that in mind, we need to minimise your ‘footprint’ in the home. Someone doesn’t want to see your happy memories there, they want to be able to envision their happy, new lives in the home. On top of that, we need to create a spacious, fresh and inviting feel that flows throughout the home. We can do this by repurposing rooms or furniture to suit the modern lifestyle of the target market and the best layout for the home. We will advise on a room by room basis what would be best to be ‘rehomed’ for the duration of the campaign and what should stay. We bring our expertise to give you the absolute best advice as to what will enhance your property and its online profile, and definitely where not to spend money or overcapitalise. We can advise on paint colours or where to touch up and where to leave. You might have some ideas about improvements and we can give you our professional opinion as to whether they may be worth it to your sales campaign.
Coordinated design and function.
In addition to decluttering and repurposing, adding a few new touches might be just the thing to lift and freshen your current look. We can source furniture from our varied, amazing suppliers for you to purchase and pass on the trade discount to you. Furniture and accessories must provide cohesion throughout a property. The application of colour and light provide an immediate uplift to any setting. Presenting a desirable lifestyle vision captures the attention and hearts of buyers. You need a Wow factor. With mere seconds to capture buyers attention, your photos must have wow factor. Compare online listings of properties in your area. Which photos attract you to an open inspection? By adding something as simple as fresh new linen, with cushions and throw rugs you can make any bedroom warm and inviting - and what’s best is you don’t have to give it back at the end of your campaign. Perhaps a rug under a dining table, or a new coffee table that you have thought about getting for years but never could choose the right one? We are here to help you make the best design choices for your setting and take them on your new adventure.

Property styling connects with human emotion and while this is undoubtedly important when you’re looking to sell a property – it’s arguably even more essential to feel inspired by the look of the property you own. With Styled to Keep, you can discover the beauty and satisfaction that comes with carefully curated furniture and a gorgeously styled property that you will enjoy year after year.
Whether your needs are for some pops of colour, soft furnishings like brand new bed linen and cushions, artwork, or furniture and accessories, we work with clients to bring to life a vision that is both theirs and in line with the sales plan, creating a dream space for potential buyers to view, but one that will be theirs for years to come. Each individual project is designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your property to achieve the highest possible sale price, without the styling price tag! JKW Interiors aims to create an emotional connection with your potential buyers that stays with them long after your open inspection and create a new look and vibe for you to enjoy long after the sale is complete. We work with contemporary designers and suppliers to create a stylish and fresh update to your current look.
