Partial VS Full Style: The Pros and Cons

Regarding home staging and styling, there are two main approaches: partial and complete. Here are the pros and cons of each approach:

Partial Styling: Partial styling involves styling only certain areas or rooms of the home, while leaving others untouched.

Pros:

1. Cost-effective: Partial styling can be more budget-friendly than full styling.

2. Targeted approach: Focus on styling the most important rooms or areas that will significantly impact potential buyers.

3. Less disruption: Partial styling typically requires less furniture and decor removal, making it less disruptive to the homeowner.

Cons:

1. Inconsistent look: Partial styling can result in an inconsistent look throughout the home.

2. Limited impact: Styling only certain areas may not have as significant an impact on potential buyers as full styling would.

Full styling involves the entire home, including all rooms and areas.

Pros:

1. Maximum impact: Full styling can significantly impact potential buyers, creating a cohesive and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.

2. Consistent look: Full styling ensures a consistent look and feel throughout the home.

3. Emotional connection: A fully styled home can help potential buyers emotionally connect with the space.

Cons:

1. Higher cost: Full styling can be more expensive than partial styling.

2. More disruption: Full styling typically requires more furniture and decor removal, making it more disruptive to the homeowner.

3. Time-consuming: Full styling can be time-consuming, requiring more planning and execution.

Ultimately, the choice between partial and complete styling depends on your budget, goals, and the specific needs of your home. It’s essential to consult with a professional home stager or stylist to determine the best approach for your property.

Meet Sue Roche

The Styling Project is led by Sue Roche, who founded the business in 2015 after a career in graphic design. Eleven years on she is still the person walking through most of the properties we style, and she personally quotes around 95 per cent of the work we take on.

Sue’s design background gave her a strong grounding in colour, balance and proportion, all of which carry directly into styling a home for sale. Her view is that the rest of it is learnt by doing. After more than 7,500 properties she has a very good sense of what will photograph well, what buyers respond to, and when a room needs less rather than more.
