Got questions? We’ve got answers
-
Do you service my area?
Home Alchemy provides styling services on the North West Coast of Tasmania. Please make contact to confirm availability in your area.
-
What happens at the in-home styling consultation?
Our stylist visits your property and takes measurements and photos. This information is then used afterwards to select the perfect pieces tailored to your home.
-
How long does the styling process take?
Timing depends on the package and your home’s size. Consultations can be completed in an hour, while full installation typically takes 1-2 days.
-
Do I need to be home during the styling?
No, you don’t need to be home. As long as access to the property has been arranged, all styling can take place without the property owner present. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process, and all communication can be handled easily via email or phone.
-
What if I’m still living in my home while it’s staged?
If you’ll be living in your home while it’s on the market, our Home Refresh Package or Digital Home Styling are perfect options for you. Click on the Services page for further details.
-
Do you offer styling for vacant homes?
Yes. For vacant, unfurnished homes, we offer The Premium Open Home, The Essentials, and Digital Home Styling packages.
-
Can you help with decluttering and cleaning before styling?
If you are occupying your property whilst it is on the market, The Home Refresh package provides owners with tips and advice to help them with decluttering. Decluttering and cleaning is not a service provided by Home Alchemy Property Styling.
-
What if my home doesn’t sell during the styling rental period? Can I extend?
Yes, you can extend the rental period on a weekly basis, subject to stock availability. All effort is taken to accommodate rental extensions.
-
Do you provide items for outdoor staging, like patios or gardens?
Not at this time. Currently, styling services focus exclusively on interior spaces.
-
Is the furniture and décor delivery and removal included in the service?
Yes, delivery and removal of all furniture and décor items are included as part of our service.
-
Will staging really help my home sell faster or for a higher price?
Yes, professional staging has been shown to significantly increase the appeal of a home. According to the Real Estate Staging Association, staged homes sell 73% faster and often for 6–10% more than unstaged homes. Staging helps buyers visualize the potential of the space, making your property stand out in a competitive market.
-
Why is there a 5-week minimum hire period?
Staging a home involves more than just furniture — it’s delivery, installation, styling, and making sure your space looks its absolute best for buyers. The 5-week minimum ensures your home has enough time on the market to shine through showings, open houses, and inspections. Most homes sell within this timeframe, but if needed, we can easily extend the staging period.
-
What if my home sells in 2 weeks?
That’s great news! The 5-week minimum hire cost still applies (as this covers the cost of planning, installation and pack-down). While scheduling of furniture pack-downs is organised in advance, where possible pack-down earlier than the planned date will be accommodated.
