What does an interior stylist do?

What is an Interior Stylist?
Think of an interior stylist as your go-to for making your home look incredible without all the stress. They specialize in pulling together all the design elements—like furniture, décor, color schemes, and layouts—to create a space that’s not just stylish but perfectly you.

What Does an Interior Stylist Actually Do?
An interior stylist takes your ideas (and maybe that Pinterest board you’ve been obsessing over) and turns them into a reality. Here’s what we cover:

  • Styling Your Home: From arranging furniture to finding the perfect cushions, we create a look that’s cohesive and comfortable.
  • Choosing Colors and Finishes: Lost in a sea of 600 shades of white? Don’t worry—we’ll nail the perfect palette for you.
  • Shopping and Sourcing: We take care of the heavy lifting, finding unique pieces from boutique suppliers to make your space stand out.
  • Saving You Money: No more buying the wrong size rug or mismatched accessories. We’ll help you get it right the first time.
  • Airbnb and Investment Styling: Whether it’s your forever home or a rental property, we’ll make it look amazing and work hard for you.

What’s the Difference Between an Interior Stylist and an Interior Designer?

Interior styling focuses on the aesthetic details—like furniture, color schemes, and decor—to elevate the look and feel of your space. Interior design, on the other hand, often involves structural planning, like reconfiguring layouts or building custom features. At Stagency, we stick to what we do best: creating beautiful, functional spaces you’ll love.

How do interior stylists save time and money?

Hiring a stylist means avoiding costly mistakes and endless hours of decision-making. Here’s how we help:

  • Efficient shopping: We know where to find the best pieces without breaking the bank.
  • Budget-friendly upgrades: We maximize what you already have and source high-quality items that last.
  • Expert advice: From avoiding impulse buys to perfecting your space layout, we guide every step of the way.

Think of us as your design shortcut.

Can You Choose Paint Colours For Me?

Absolutely! Choosing the perfect white paint can feel overwhelming (did you know there are over 600 shades of white?!). That’s where we step in.

We take the guesswork out of the process by understanding your space, lighting, and style to recommend the ideal shade. Whether you need a crisp, modern white or something warmer and inviting, we’ll find the paint color that brings your vision to life—and matches everything else in your home perfectly.

With us, you won’t end up regretting that too-bright white or the one that turned out oddly yellow. Let’s get it right the first time.

Why hire you as my interior stylist?

If you’ve ever felt stuck deciding between 47 cushions or overwhelmed by Pinterest boards, we get it. An interior stylist brings clarity, expertise, and creative solutions to make your home look and feel incredible. Whether you need help pulling a room together or preparing a property for sale, we’ve got you covered.

How much do interior styling services cost?

We believe great design should be accessible, so we offer one easy set pricing to suit a variety of budgets. Whether you’re after a simple styling session or a complete makeover, we’ll create a custom package tailored to your needs. First we schedule a consultation, and we’ll work out the details together.

How long does the process take?

Timelines depend on the project’s complexity but often range from a single day for consultations to weeks or months for large projects.
