Before & After: How Property Staging Transforms Homes on the Coffs Coast

When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. Buyers decide quickly if a property feels right for them — often within the first few minutes of walking through the door, or even while scrolling through online photos.

That’s where professional property staging makes all the difference. The right furniture, layout, and finishing touches don’t just make a home look beautiful — they help buyers connect emotionally and imagine themselves living there.

Here are some of our recent before-and-after staging transformations on the Coffs Coast.

✨ Sapphire Beach

Before: This coastal property felt tired and underwhelming. The living areas lacked flow, and the bedrooms needed warmth and definition.
After: With fresh, neutral furniture, layered textures, and coastal-inspired styling, each room came alive. Buyers could now picture family living at the beach, with spaces that felt both inviting and practical.

💡 Result: The transformation generated strong buyer interest, leading to a quicker sale than expected.

✨ North Boambee

Before: Empty rooms that left buyers struggling to visualise how to use the space. Without furniture, the home felt smaller than it really was.
After: We created a full lifestyle story — from spacious lounge areas to a serene master bedroom. By defining each room’s purpose, the home felt larger, more functional, and immediately move-in ready.

💡 Result: Multiple inspections within days of hitting the market, with serious buyer interest.

✨ Korora

Before: This property had great bones but lacked warmth and personality. The layout felt cold, and buyers weren’t connecting.
After: With luxury furnishings, soft styling touches, and outdoor living areas dressed for entertaining, the home now showcased its true potential. The relaxed yet stylish presentation appealed directly to Korora’s family and lifestyle buyers.

💡 Result: Strong offers came in quickly, with buyers recognising the lifestyle value.

✨Coffs Harbour

Before: A well-kept home, but presentation was basic. Empty corners and dated styling meant the property wasn’t standing out online.
After: With professional staging, the interiors felt refreshed and modern. Statement furniture and décor created standout photos that captured attention online and drew buyers through the door.

💡 Result: Increased buyer engagement and a faster sale than expected.

The Power of Before & After

Across each of these homes, the difference was clear:

• Online photos looked dramatically better — meaning more clicks and more inspections.
• Buyers connected emotionally — seeing lifestyle, not just rooms.
• Sales happened faster and at stronger prices — making staging a smart investment.
