home staging \ styling
Having bought and sold property quite a few times, Jodie knows how completely stressful it can be - both emotionally and financially. Getting - and keeping - the house tidy and ready for those all important realtor showings is quite frankly, painful. But this is where she shines. Perhaps it isn't a full blank canvas approach that you need: more of a 'what should I move or get rid of for the marketing photos' scenario, Jodie will help at whatever level you need her.
One of the advantages of living overseas is she had access to some* fantastic pieces to style with. This, combined with an understanding of the expectations of different tiers of property buyer means you get a look that is designed to appeal to your market.
Recently one client liked the pieces chosen for her home's staging so much that she asked to buy them after the house was sold!
* Some = enough to fill a 40 foot container !
sourcing
From lighting to furniture - this is one of Jodie's passions and need not be considered a luxury if you know how and where to look!
KITCHEN AND BATHROOM DESIGN
Colours and materials are important to the overall feel of a space, but what really makes a design successful is having knowledge of spacial planning - from functionality and usage, to budget and priorities, from lighting design to how you want to 'live' in the new space: these are the considerations that count.
interior design
Jodie offers interior design - without the diva. Consultation, communication and creativity are the cornerstones of her business. Because upon that, you build trust.
Often it is hard to visualise how a space will materialise with so many design decisions to make - that is why Jodie has the ability to draw plans in 3D, so you can literally walk around your room and change anything you want - without having to lift either a paintbrush or your credit card!
Often all that is needed is pair of (trained) fresh eyes to transform the layout and flow of a space - but it is hard to be energetic about this process if you have become used to living there.
“Jodie has the most amazing sense of style and taste, and understands how to dress and compliment a property with art, furnishings , light shades and overall style. We had prenominal numbers at the home based on how it looked . It’s a true testament to her flare and style.I am yet to come across and person with this same skill set, not to forget Jodie’s lovely nature and energy. On this occasion it certainly made a huge impact on viewings and buyer engagement. I only wish Jodie was Wellington based as she would be my go to partner for any home staging”
