It is very important that there is an agreed playlist for both video and music for the home entertainment system of a property. The music and chosen film should have broad appeal, with the volume set low, so as not to be overbearing for visitors.
Homes should have a bright and airy ambience but not be so bright they appear like a hospital operating theatre! Changes can include the introduction of side table lamps, the use of stronger or lower wattage bulbs, or filters on lights. Lamp shades can be updated or curtains or blinds removed to make a room or living space brighter and more welcoming.
ROKSTONE HOME STYLING: THE LOWDOWN
T
he Rokstone Home Styling service takes 1-2 weeks from initial appointment to completion. The first step is a Home Consultation by the home styling team; this involves the property being assessed for its presentation quality, target buyer profile and appeal to potential purchasers. From this a list of recommendations is prepared for the vendor and once approved, the changes are implemented. Typically anything from 30 to 100 new accessory items are specially sourced and placed in the property, with the
budget normally being between 0.25% to 1% of the overall value of the property. Once the home styling is complete, a photoshoot and luxury sales brochure are prepared for the property, and it is then introduced to the market. As part of the home styling process, there are set procedures in place before potential purchasers view the property. This includes checking that all windows, taps and toilets work, and that all lights and home entertainment systems are operational. All flowers, candles and magazines/ newspapers are also checked to ensure they are up-to-date. 206
