_Interior styles that sell

Coco Republic Property Styling has been helping Australians sell their homes for over 10 years. We share some top tips on styling for sale and the key interiors trends that can make a property stand out amongst the crowd. At the end of the day, it is all about maximising your sale price in a time frame that works for you.

Greenery

The use of indoor plants instantly re-invigorates a space and gives a freshness that we all associate with Spring. Indoor plantings soften a space and bring life to interiors, giving the feeling of a much loved space.

Play with textures and scale with greenery, do not be afraid to mix foliage or bring large plants inside. Plants to consider are: Ficus or ‘Fiddle Leaf Fig’, Monstera or ‘Swiss Cheese Plant’, Snake plant or ‘Mother in Law’s Tongue’ and Ficus Elastica or ‘Rubber Plant’.

Black on blonde

Characterised by dramatic contrast, mixing dark and light timbers will bring more depth, tone and texture to a space.

Raw exposed timbers soften the space. Focus on rich, smokey blonde woods rather than yellow toned Scandinavian Oak.

Contemporary with character

As Spring approaches we are experiencing a high demand for modern and contemporary styling in heritage homes. In Queensland for example, this is a fusion between our beautiful character-style Queenslanders, contrasted with a raw, more modern interiors.  

Our clients are looking for more edgy styling rather than the traditional ‘Hamptons’ look we have become accustomed to in recent years. This modern contemporary look is achieved with the use of materials like concrete, brick and ‘live edge’ timbers. Black steel features also create a strong and industrial look.

As these spaces are generally quite raw and cold, we soften these interiors with natural textures like rugs and leathers, as well as contrast with dark furniture pieces, and large statement art. The visual contrast of black and white provides a sense of balance and boldness to the feel of the home.

Staycation

A quintessential Australian palette perfect for our outdoor lifestyle. In today’s busy world, our homes are more than ever becoming our sanctuary.

We are creating our own identity through our interiors with resort style living with a natural, light, timeless appeal.
