The home staging market has become highly competitive, but are you getting the best service for your money? Not all home staging companies deliver the same level of quality and service. Choosing a company with less experience may be the difference from a top dollar sale or no sale at all – why risk it, especially in this market.

DMI Homestagers recently staged this property in Darwin Lane, Remuera. Their experience in interior design and Homestaging showcases the property to its full potential.

Not only do they offer Homestaging services but also all aspects of Interior Design. If you are looking at re-vamping your current home or want to start from scratch, DMI have over 15 years experience. Call them on 0800 DMI HOME (0800 364 4663) for a consultation or visit www.homestagers.co.nz to view samples of the DMI style.

Art Of This World this month are featuring Auckland artist Fiona Whyte. A popular artist whose paintings are held in collections worldwide.
Fiona initially studied at Auckland's Elam School of Fine Arts. She has had a career as an established artist spanning twenty years.
Her acrylic on canvas works are cheerful, naive and vital, and capture perfectly the essence of New Zealand's coast and Auckland's cityscapes.
Simplified forms, vivid colours and bold outlines depict visions of a less complicated lifestyle, but with overtones of sophistication. Every building, plant or environment has its own personality.
To view more work by Fiona view our website on www.artofthisworld.co.nz
