STYLING & STAGING PROPERTIES FOR SALE
Creating spaces that sell - beautifully.
When it comes to selling a property, first impressions are everything. Buyers make emotional decisions within seconds of stepping through the door, and how a home looks, feels, and photographs can have a significant impact on both its market value and the speed of sale.
At Khaya Studio, we specialise in styling and staging homes that tell a story - creating inviting, aspirational spaces that help potential buyers instantly imagine themselves living there. Our approach is thoughtful and refined, ensuring every property we stage feels warm, welcoming, and effortlessly elegant.
Service Overview
Home staging is one of the most effective ways to increase offers and shorten time on the market. A well-styled home not only stands out in photographs but also builds an emotional connection with potential buyers - the key to achieving strong, confident offers.
Whether you’re preparing a family home, a period property, or a new development, we curate furnishings, accessories, and finishes that bring out the best in your space. Our goal is to highlight your home’s unique features and present it at its absolute best - all while making the process seamless and stress-free for you.

How to style your property for sale
When it comes to selling your home, first impressions truly matter. Buyers often make up their minds within moments of stepping through the door - and while practicalities like location and layout play a role, it’s emotion that seals the deal.
