How Much Does It Cost To Hire An Interior Stylist??

We are transparent about our fees. We want you to know upfront what the cost is and make it easier for you to decide if we are within your budget and scope suitability.

 

We are not cheap and we do not apologise for it. We are good at what we do and deliver great results for our clients.

How long does an Interior Styling project take?

On average a residential Interior Styling project can take between 4 months up to 2 years.  This is dependent on the size and scope of the project.

In reality it doesn’t take a week or weekend like it does on TV and social media.

 

Do You Share Your Trade Discounts?

There is a common myth that stylists receive a “trade discount” – but it is in fact just wholesale pricing like and other business on some items.

We do not share wholesale pricing or supplier details with clients as this is our business model and intellectual property.

We make our business profitable through fees and retail sales like any other business.

When we have this discussion with clients we often ask them if they would walk into. a store and ask them to purchase the product at the price they paid for it? the answer would be never. We operate the same way.

Think of us as your personal store.

 

What are your payment terms?

We require full payment via direct debit prior to work commencing.

We ask that clients pay fees in prepaid blocks.

All furnishings and selections are prepaid prior to purchasing and after client approval.

What Areas Do You Service For In Home Consultations? Where Are You Located?

We are based in the beautiful bayside of Brisbane’s Northern Suburbs. We travel all over South East Queensland for clients.

We do virtual Interior Styling all over Australia.

We also travel interstate for clients on request at clients cost.

What If You Can’t Find The Right Piece For My Room?

It hasn’t happened yet, so this is a hard one to answer!  We can access the gold circle of modern interior design.  Our suppliers are hand-selected for taste, on-trend design and quality.  We work hard to identify the perfect selections – and even to spoil you for choice.
