Property styling, staging and short-stay setup — from someone who owns and runs seven short-term rentals herself.
Book a styling consultI have. I've owned and operated seven short-term rental properties across Queensland and New South Wales, and everything I know about what makes a property perform — what guests photograph, what earns the five-star review, what quietly kills your occupancy — I learned by running them myself.
That's what I bring to your property. Not decoration. A property set up to earn.
Turnkey styling and fit-out for Airbnb and holiday lets. Floor plan, sourcing, purchasing, delivery, assembly, styling, guest inventory — and ready for the photographer.
Furniture, styling and photography prep so your property leads the market instead of following it. Installed, styled, and collected at the end of the campaign.
Two hours on site, room by room, and a written action plan you can act on yourself. What to keep, what to move, what to buy, what to leave alone.
Renovation and project consulting also available at $1,500 per day — for owners deciding whether the renovation is the right one at all.
Every property here is one I own and run myself. I don't ask clients to trust styling decisions I haven't personally lived with — through the bookings, the reviews, the wear and tear, and the quiet business of finding out what actually works.
I'm Julie Kerin. I run HB Projects and Consulting out of Toowoomba, and I came to property styling the long way around.
I spent 22 years building and running a recruitment and training business here. Alongside it, I bought property — renovated it, styled it, and eventually put seven properties to work as short-term rentals across Queensland and New South Wales. I still own and operate them today.
That last part is the bit that matters. I've sat with a booking calendar that wasn't filling. I've read the review that mentions the uncomfortable mattress. I've learned, expensively, which renovations return money and which ones simply feel good.
So when I style a property, I'm not decorating it. I'm setting it up to perform — to book, to sell, to earn. That's a different job, and it takes a different eye.
Whether you're listing to sell or listing to let, the first conversation costs nothing. I'll come back to you within two business days.
