Capital Property Styling

Kolak Living claimed the coveted 2016 Display Home of the Year Award for HIA-CSR ACT and Southern NSW Housing. Monique was engaged for fitout and furnishing of the display home. The brief was for a luxurious 5 star finish. An elegant colour scheme was specified throughout and played up with a mix of gloss and matte feature tiles, textured wallpaper, custom joinery, lighting selections and tailored window treatments.

Monique was engaged to devise the colour scheme, window treatments, furnishings, decor and tailored soft furnishings for this Hamptonesque beauty. Inspired by the sprawling seaside escape featured in Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton's movie 'Something's Gotta Give', the brief was for a soft, elegant yet relaxed feel - reminiscent of the homes dotted around Long Island New York.

This prestige property in leafy Sheehan Street Pearce was hotly contested at auction, selling under the hammer for $2.3m and smashing the previous sales record for Pearce by more than $800K. http://canberratimes.domain.com.au/real-estate-news/22-sheehan-street-in-pearce-sets-suburb-record-at-auction-20140315-34u4t.html

Monique's clients turned to her for design solutions to their open plan living and dining area. The brief was for an inviting Hamptonesque space that would encourage greater use of the area. The transformation resulted in a light-filled zone which is now the hub of the family home.

Proudly styled by Monique, this property sold within 1 week of hitting the market, achieved $100,000 above market expectations and scored the third highest price in the suburb's history.

This 3 bedroom inner city apartment scored Allhomes 'Property of the Week', notched up just under 7,000 hits on Allhomes in its first week, attracted significant buyer interest with 3 serious offers received in the first week, and trumped market expectation! This was despite a directly comparable, unfurnished rival property on the next floor up sitting on the market for 5+ months. The main difference...styling!

This charming 1930's residence was designed by none other than architect extraordinaire, Kenneth Oliphant. With its light and airy interior and gorgeous cottage gardens, the only thing needed was to transform the front room (study) into a delightful living area.

This beautifully presented property attracted strong buyer interest, achieving an offer that exceeded market expectations by $40K within its first two weeks on the market!

This project was undertaken on behalf of JBD Pty Ltd and involved working from frame stage. It encompassed selection of fixtures and furnishings from floor coverings right through to lighting. It was finished off with complete styling to showcase the property as an executive rental. A long-term, premium lease has been achieved.

This property drew 25 buyer groups through initial inspection and attracted several serious offers, including an offer for it to be purchased as presented...fully furnished!
