“If you're looking for a stylist who will maximise the value of your property and help you achieve a successful sale, I recommend Joyce, the Dutch Stylist.
Joyce is so good at understanding how to combine space, colour, and texture to suit potential buyers and create an ambience that captures their attention.
We recently worked with Joyce, and I believe her styling was an instrumental part of attracting multiple bidders and selling at auction, with a result that exceeded our expectations.
Joyce is extremely professional and puts in extra effort to ensure the styling is just right. She's easy to work with and communicate with, and she's a really lovely person.”

FAQS
Is property styling worth the investment?
Professional styling is a proven way to increase your property’s sale price. The return on investment is usually around 10 x the cost of your styling, but can be also be far more.
Our stylists are experienced and skilled at using various strategies to enhance the appeal of your property and attract interest from as many potential buyers as possible. Real estate agents from all around Sydney recommend our services because they know we deliver results.
Where do your furniture and accessories come from?
Our range is sourced both locally and internationally and includes custom made pieces, specially commissioned for styling.
Does someone. need to be onsite during the installation?
Once we have access to your property, no one needs to be present during installation. In fact, we are most efficient working in an undisturbed environment and it's always best for you to view the final transformation in its entirety!
What if we don’t like what you’ve chosen?
Whenever we style a property our team looks at it from an objective and strategic view. We decide what items to include based on factors such as space, light, layout and purpose, as well as what will most appeal to your target market. We hope that you’ll trust our judgement but, of course, if there’s something you feel is not right, let us know and we will work with you to get a perfect final result.
Note: If we need to return to the property to make personal or subjective changes additional charges will apply.
Please see terms and conditions for more information.
What are your payment terms?
Full payment is required at time of confirmation and to secure your preferred or earliest available installation date. Payment can be made via bank transfer.
‘‘As a Project Manager I look for ability, reliability and affordability in all the professionals I engage to help me conduct my business.
Recently I had the pleasure of engaging The Dutch Stylist to style an investment unit I recently placed on the market for sale and my assessment is that Joyce possesses the above attributes in abundance.
I was impressed with Joyce’s work ethic, attitude and the quality of her design and execution, which made the presentation of the unit remarkable and contributed markedly to it’s saleability.
Whilst performing her allotted tasks she was charming, efficient, and helpful beyond agreed scope of works.
Given the above I stand resolute as a strong witness and advocate to Joyce’s professional design and performance abilities.
I would use her creative and affordable design services again and recommend her and her firm without reservations.’’
