Every home has a story.

We help buyers see themselves in it.

At Upstaged Home Staging, we believe every home deserves to be presented at its absolute best. Our role is to highlight its character, maximise its appeal, and create spaces that buyers connect with from the moment they walk through the door.

Whether we're styling a vacant property, refreshing an occupied home, or preparing a home for photography, every decision is made with one goal in mind—to help you achieve the best possible result when it's time to sell.

A Design-Led Approach.

As the proud owner of Upstaged Home Staging and founder of Studio Gibson, Anna Gibson brings together qualifications in interior design with a background in marketing, graphic design, branding and visual presentation.

That combination allows us to look beyond simply placing furniture in a room. We thoughtfully consider layout, proportion, colour, flow and buyer psychology to create spaces that feel welcoming, functional and aspirational.

Our philosophy is simple: every home is unique, and every staging should reflect that.

Meet the Team.

Behind every beautifully staged home is a dedicated team who genuinely love what they do.

From planning and logistics to installation and styling, we work together to ensure every property is presented to the highest standard. We take pride in creating spaces that photograph beautifully, impress at open homes, and leave a lasting impression on buyers.
