I’m Harper!
I live in Central Otago, and I help people get their homes ready to sell.
I've always been the person who rearranges the furniture at a friend's house. A few years ago I turned that into a business, and I haven't stopped moving things since.
Hey there,
What I believe
A house should look like a home, not a showroom.
Buyers want to picture their own life there, so I leave room for that.
You don't need to buy a lot.
Most homes just need less clutter, better layout and a few well-chosen pieces.
Light does most of the work.
Open the curtains, clean the windows and swap the bulbs. It costs almost nothing and changes every room.
Selling a home is emotional.
It's full of memories, so I'll be honest about what to change, and kind about how I say it.

A few facts
I will always move a cushion that's out of place, even in a stranger's house.
Favourite room to style: a small bedroom, because there's the most room for improvement.
Can't style without: a lint roller, a tape measure and a very large bag of cushions.
Coffee order: a flat white, drunk while it's still hot, which is rare.
Best advice I give: clear your kitchen bench.
I once rearranged a whole living room in twenty minutes, and the owners didn't recognise it.
