Recently, CCD Styling had the pleasure of transforming 2 Monash Avenue, East Killara. This grand, full-brick estate is the definition of "blue-chip" real estate: three expansive levels, six bedrooms, and a presence that commands the street.
The result? A staggering $4,625,000 sale price achieved in just five weeks.
For a property of this magnitude, the question isn't whether it’s impressive (it is).
The question is: How do you make a 600sqm+ house feel like a home in the first 60 seconds?
The "Big C" Strategy: More Than Just Furniture
As I always say, 80% of buyers decide if they love a home within the first minute. At CCD Styling, we don’t just "fill rooms"—we apply styling psychology to ensure that minute counts.
Here is how we navigated the "Last Mile" for this East Killara gem:
1. Mastering the Scale
With three levels of concrete slab and full brick, large homes can often feel "cold" or "echoey." We used tactile materials—rich linens, plush rugs, and layered textures—to absorb the "hardness" of the build and replace it with a sense of warmth and security.
2. Defining the "Grand" Moments
The formal living area features a striking oval tray ceiling. To honor this architectural detail, we curated a furniture layout that emphasized symmetry. Symmetry creates a psychological sense of balance and trust, signaling to the buyer that this is a home of high caliber and stability.
3. Creating a Narrative for Every Level
With six bedrooms and four ensuites, we needed to show versatility. We styled the lower level to appeal to multi-generational families, showing exactly how a private entry suite could work for adult children or in-laws. We didn't just show rooms; we showed a lifestyle solution.
The ROI of Emotion
Many owners ask if styling is worth the investment. This project is a prime example: a 10% investment in professional styling often bridges the 30% gap in buyer perception. When a buyer walks in and feels that "Wow" factor, they stop looking for flaws and start imagining their life there.
