Innovative Ideas for Small Budget and Big Makeover

InStyle Direct

The Owner of this North London flat came to InStyle Direct wanting a big transformation with a small budget. InStyle Direct suggested a furniture and furnishings package along with makeover services to dramatically improve the property’s look to guarantee a great return.

One of InStyle’s designated Project Managers recommended our gold furniture package, which is particularly popular among landlords due to its affordability and quality – both of which investors report a struggle to find simultaneously.

Landlords who come to InStyle Direct are often understandably sceptical when we suggest interior design adjustments that aren’t typically considered safe, but are soon surprised with the result that always exceeds their expectations.

Many interior design choices that we suggest are considered risky to landlords. New builds are often entirely neutral, leading to the misconception that this is favoured by tenants and buyers. To InStyle, they are simple tricks that are guaranteed to differentiate properties in a competitive market. For example, our interior designer opted for a dark feature wall. A deep-coloured accent wall in the correct hue can make a property look more homely and more spacious. Seems counterintuitive, right? Read on to be surprised.

Light, bright walls are more reflective, making a space feel open. BUT, painting one wall in a deep colour creates an optical illusion that the room is longer! This is just one of the few tricks InStyle Direct employs to help properties reach their full potential by adding quantitative value.

Associate Director

Author: Mark Parry

After spending several years garnering experience in the retail and real estate business, I joined InStyle Direct in 2013 and have thoroughly enjoyed my work here. As an Associate Director, I assist a diverse group of clients. Whether it is a private homeowner looking for a completely bespoke furnishing solution or a leading developer or estate agent looking to dress properties to meet business objectives, I have worked with all of them. Customer care is an essential part of my role. The ability to gauge client requirements and suggest a tailored solution is a skill I've honed after working on over 500 projects across more than a decade at this company. Another aspect of my work that keeps me motivated is the opportunity to collaborate with talented designers and cutting-edge suppliers worldwide. I guess bringing ideas to life is as stimulating for a property furnishing professional as it is rewarding for our clients. The sheer excitement in a client's voice and expression upon seeing a completely transformed property is priceless and something I strive for on every project I undertake. However, I do have interests outside of design and furnishing as well. When not drafting a client proposal or meeting with designers, I try honing my horse-riding skills or taking a spin class to keep fit. Football and travelling with my family are other passions that keep me going. In my experience as a property furnishing expert with InStyle Direct, I've had the privilege of contributing to several client successes that I'd like to share with you. From exciting results delivered to clients to the furnishing, interior design and refurbishment stories behind them, stay tuned for more.
