Client Testimonial 
Property Styling Project - for Sale 
 
"We engaged the services of Sam at The Cornish House to help us restyle our home in readiness for putting it back-up for sale. 

The house had been on the market for two years with no serious interest and despite the property's beautiful rural setting, we realised it had become tired and out-of-date and needed a lot of imagination for a buyer to see its true potential, hence the reason why it had not sold. 

 
We could not believe how different it looked and we know we should have used Sam and implemented her ideas a long time ago even before we thought of moving. 

 
Comments from everyone who saw our restyled home were amazing, so much so we sold our house two weeks after the make-over, which demonstrated we made the right decision to use The Cornish House and Sam's expertise. 

 
I would not hesitate to recommend Sam and the Cornish House team to anyone needing interior styling. She will produce results that will delight you."

Property Styling and Home Staging Project

 
The owners of this 4 bedroom cottage style property had lived there for 20 years but wanted to retire and down-size. Unfortunately it had only attracted six viewings in the 2 years it had been on the market, with no reasonable offers. Priced at £325,000 the vendors Estate Agents had recently suggest a price drop of circa £30,000.

 
Frustrated by the huge potential drop in value, the vendors contacted Samantha to help them understand what might be holding back their sale and how Property Styling might help.

 
Samantha worked with the vendors to put together a plan of action detailing which rooms were holding their sale back. With a budget of 1.9% of the asking price agreed work commenced. Samantha and her team replaced carpet, changed furniture and added complimentary soft furnishings. Old furniture that was no longer needed was up-cycled from a dark mahogany to contemporary grey. 

 
Wood veneer doors were replaced with white cottage style panelled doors. Dark woodwork was painted white to reflect light and create the illusion of space. Kitchen walls were painted. The master bedroom was re-dressed and the wood panelled wardrobes painted to create a calm relaxing space.

 
All replacement soft furnishings and furniture to dress the house were sourced at trade prices and styled with a view that they would be useful in the clients' new home.

 
The property was transformed to a light bright welcoming space that subsequently sold within 2 weeks of returning to the open market.
