When it comes to selling your property, presentation is key! Justine Stedman, Director and Principal Stylist of Vault Interiors, claims that styling for under $50 can be as simple as adding five quick and easy items.

Highly regarded in the industry with over 10 years experience, Justine’s top five styling tips under $50 include:

1. Artwork: Huge impact, easy on the wallet. Consider framing your favourite photos by creating a gallery wall for your hallway or above a console table. Varying sizes keeps it interesting, while a mix of black and white photos can also look very graphic.
2. Floor and table lamps: Great way to create ambience and change the feeling of your roof. Justine loves gold numbers, although all metallics are on trend – an easy way to add instant glamour.
3. Plants: Instantly brightens up a room. Justine recommends small pots placed on dining tables or coffee tables. Try succulents as they are very low maintenance and a tall palm or fern works well on the floor next to an entertainment unit.
4. Cushions and throws: Every stylist’s go-to trick! Changing up scatter cushions or throws will change the look in an instant. Justine recommends bright citrus poppy tones in summer and deeper tones for winter.
5. Rugs: Can anchor a space and create defined zones, effective for adding texture or to uplift a space.
