Become A Property Stylist·Naomi Findlay·May 9, 2025· 3 minutes
Who doesn’t love redecorating their bedroom? Or chaging the layout of the living room? Imagine doing that as a career! Home staging is booming and it’s much more than just redecorating people’s bedrooms. Home staging is all about knowing the market, appealing to the demographic for the current market, while looking at what’s on trend, designing property aesthetics and then staging the property for the market that will sell at the best price possible. So, why should you start your home staging career in 2022?
  • In the recent uncertain times of Covid, buying and selling real estate continued.
  •  Home staging is a necessity: once home staging enters an area it will never leave! Gone are the days of poorly tidied homes for sale, full of kids toys and stray dog hairs. Home staging allows you to put the properties best face forward and give potential buyers the best view of what they are buying. Home staging is all about potential and discovering both the properties inner potential and your inner potential.
  • People finally get it: for years home stagers have struggled with the question of ‘so what do you do that I can’t do?’ but alas the rest of the world is finally starting to get it. Home staging is more than just what looks good. Home stagers are a mix of real estate analysis and design trends analysis, meeting somewhere in the middle.
  • You don’t have to be trained overseas: the rise in home staging institutions in Australia has meant that up and coming home stagers are learning content that is directly related to what they will experience in Australia.
  • There is a home staging community: because home stagers have set on the bench for so long waiting for their time to shine a strong community has been built on support, successes and failures. Without the Internet home staging would not be as popular as it is now and that is primarily due to home stagers coming together online to share their experiences and design skills.
  • Higher quality performances: more home stagers mean that more people are gaining home staging experience which in turn raises the level of home staging projects. This allows for the entire industry to be seen as its own entity compared to people without any formal accreditation who stage properties for their personal style rather than the needs of the market.
All in all, home staging is on the rise and getting into the industry now is a great opportunity to skyrocket any career. iihs-banner-ad-becomeapropertystylist-728x90
