Explore a selection of recent home staging projects, where every property has been thoughtfully prepared to maximise space, light, and emotional appeal. My approach is centred on creating market-ready homes that photograph beautifully, attract stronger interest, and help buyers instantly connect with the space.

Modern Apartment – Cheltenham

SOLD on 2nd viewing – full asking price

Styled as part of my Stage to Sell service, this apartment was enhanced with carefully selected props and subtle styling to elevate light, space, and overall presentation.

The intention was to create a calm, welcoming feel that stood out in both photography and viewings. The result was immediate interest, leading to a successful sale on the second viewing at full asking price.

Regency Apartment – Cheltenham

Launched to market with elevated presentation

This apartment was prepared through a pre-market styling consultation covering layout, decluttering, and accessory direction.

A tailored styling plan was provided, followed by hands-on staging using curated props and a full accessories hire pack. Each room was refined to ensure a cohesive, market-ready finish designed to maximise buyer appeal from day one.

Family Home – Cheltenham

Refreshed presentation for market launch

Following an initial consultation, guidance was given on decluttering and furniture placement to improve flow, scale, and usability.

The home was then fully styled with considered accessories and finishing touches, enhancing each room to highlight space, warmth, and lifestyle appeal ahead of photography and launch.

Mews House – Cheltenham

Multiple offers secured after relaunch

Previously on the market for six months with 36 viewings and no offers, the property required a complete presentation refresh.

After advising on layout and decluttering, the home was restyled with carefully chosen accessories and soft furnishings to create a warmer, more inviting feel.

The relaunch generated strong interest, resulting in multiple offers and an agreed sale within three weeks through Dominic Dore | eXp UK.

Penthouse Apartment – Cheltenham

SOLD on first viewing after restyle

This property had been on the market for nine months with no offers, despite multiple agents.

A full styling strategy was implemented, including consultation, a clear preparation plan, and hands-on staging using curated props and accessories.

The transformation repositioned the property entirely, resulting in a sale on the very first viewing after relaunch.

Cotswold Stone Home – Cheltenham

Multiple offers within 4 days

A detailed consultation was carried out, followed by a tailored preparation list for the owners to complete prior to staging.

The property was then fully styled using curated accessories to enhance flow, warmth, and cohesion throughout.

The result was a standout launch, attracting multiple offers within just four days on the market.

After living in the same house for 30+ years we decided to sell our beloved family home.
We went with Dominic Dore and his wife Zoe .
Zoe played an important part in the process making sure the house photographed and presented well with her expert eye, bringing items in to give it that wow factor
The results speak for themselves.
Afterbeing listed on rightmove and all the property websites we had 15 viewing in the first week
The house sold quickly .

Passionate, friendly and knowledgeable - I would highly recommend Zoe's services for helping you to dress your house for sale. She has a keen eye for detail, to make subtle changes that make all the difference to how your house is perceived. We took her advice and the pictures jumped off the page, leading to a sale in less than four days. Would highly recommend!

I highly recommend using Zoe’s service. Before finding Zoe we had our house on the market for 6 months with 36 viewings but absolutely no interest. After changing agents to her husband Dominic and promptly making the changes recommended by Zoe we found ourselves in a position of having multiple offers in just a few weeks. With Zoe’s eye for detail and expert knowledge she helped us to transform our home into something ten times more appealing to potential buyers. She helped us make the rooms feel more spacious and welcoming by making changes that we would not have been able to think of on our own. Comparing the photos from the first agent to the photos taken following Zoe’s advice, it is undeniably the positive impact using her service has had. We are beyond grateful to Zoe for everything she has done for us.

My partner and I couldn’t speak more highly of our experience with Zoe and Dom. We were looking to put our place on the market and felt that staging could really help maximise the price we got when coming to sell. They went above and beyond in rearranging areas of the property and supplying well placed features to maximise the qualities of the building and garden.

The eventual sale price far exceeded our expectations and we attribute a lot of this to Zoe’s work in staging the place. It was remarkable value for money when considering the potential upside. We would be more than happy to recommend Zoe to friends, family or anyone else wanting to improve their place or sell a house.

We also found that some of the changes made living in the property before we sold even better so I would say staging can also be a good idea even if you’re not planning on doing it for a sale.

On a final note Zoe and Dom were an absolute pleasure to work with and are very kind, respectful people which is always important when you are letting someone into your home.

Zoe helped me get my property ready to sell and provided such practical but creative suggestions that were within my budget and means - her eye for detail is excellent and she just knows what looks good! The result was that my flat sold in just 3.5 weeks and I know her advice was key to that - couldn’t recommend enough
We have used Sort My Place on many occasions for properties that we have in Gloucestershire, and working with them is always a pleasure.

In our business, our properties must be kept in exceptional condition so that our guests have a fantastic experience and give us “5*Star” reviews - its super competitive and how our properties look is crucial in ensuring we stand out and get repeat bookings.

Dominic is extremely responsive, professional and diligent. We cannot fault his approach or attention to detail - often going above the usual brief to ensure the job gets done to my (very high!) standards 🙂 All of the team are considerate and passionate - it’s evident in everything they do!

Sort My Place has been an excellent return on our investment, and we highly recommend their services!

I used Sort My Place over a period of four weeks, and using them is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Due to having a hectic work schedule as an NHS theater nurse, and a house with two teenage boys, 2 cats and a dog, I was constantly battling to get myself organized and catch up with the general chaos in my house. They patiently helped me navigate through everything with kindness and positivity. My home and my life now feel like they did before all of life’s responsibilities turned up, but better. I honestly can't stop raving about you guys. Highly, highly recommend.

From our very first meeting with Sort My Place, it felt like chatting with old friends. They genuinely listened to our hopes and dreams for our new home, taking the time to understand our needs as new parents. Their warmth and enthusiasm instantly put us at ease, making the design process feel like a delightful journey rather than a daunting task.

Safety was our top concern as new parents, and Zoe and Dom handled it with the utmost care and expertise. They thoughtfully selected materials and furniture that were not only baby-friendly but also stylish, creating a space where our little one could explore to their heart's content without a worry in the world.

We're absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out – our new place totally reflects who we are and fits our growing family perfectly. Thank you both a million times over!

Sort My Place did a fabulous job in helping me remarket my apartment, which had been for sale for some time with limited viewings. It is currently tenanted, and my tenants had also had enough of the sporadic viewings and had given notice to leave. I was on a very tight budget as I wanted to sell the apartment. Still, I was also aware that it is a buyers' market, so I needed to do something.

In the end, I spent under £1000 adding new storage, soft furnishings, and some wall art. With their help, it's entirely transformed the place.

I took Dom's advice and spoke to my tenants, and we have now renegotiated for them to stay with a fixed viewing day plan in place, so they are aware of the viewings in advance.

They are super pleased with the new changes too. He also suggested that I renegotiate with my estate agent as I was approaching the end of my fixed-term contract, and I have just done so, saving me almost as much as I spent on the home staging. Thank you both so much; you were a pleasure to deal with, and I now feel very positive about my future sale.

We have used Zoe and Dominic from Sort My Place for various projects throughout our home, and we are always extremely happy with the results. They have helped us with all aspects of choosing colours, flooring, lighting, storage, furniture, managing and installing, as well as dealing with various trades when we need more advice. They both have an incredible eye for detail and such warm engaging personalities, which always makes working with them a delight.
