Remote Staging Services Linda Doubleday has been exemplary in guiding us in the staging of our home for sale. She advised on the staging of each room, sent images of product designs, bought and sent products for each room to enhance their appearance. Impressively tactful, I was gently guided into recognising that having furniture from three distinct centuries across the house didn't really help the coherence of the overall design! She researched an excellent photographer whose work was visibly more appealing than those of estate agents that I have used previously. She has unquestionably helped turn our pig's ear into a beautiful silk purse and I would urge anybody tempted to get advice on styling their house to draw on her expertise and advice. Ian Long

I would highly recommend Linda and StyledSpaces. We moved in to our house on a small island outside Stockholm 5 years ago. We renovated and furnished all rooms but one. That room slowly got filled with odd bit of furniture that didn't fit anywhere else, but also my Grandmother's lovely old piano. It became the room we were embarrassed about. Linda helped us to see what we could do with the area and how to furnish it to fit with the rest of the house. A combination of keeping, upcycling old furniture as well as adding some new pieces, we now have a lovely Piano & music room / library. Even though we live in different countries and in the middle of a pandemic, we have had excellent contact and help via video meetings. The suggestions and design schemes from Linda combined with a detailed shopping list through her trade contacts in Sweden, has made it easy for us to furnish the room. Linda thought of everything from furniture and textiles to accessories. A print was even sent from the UK. She made us dare to be bold with the space and we now have a room we are really proud to show off. Thank you Linda.

With a very short timeline we needed our flat in Brighton, that had been let for 15 years, refurbed and fitted with furniture as we were returning from overseas and needed to immediately go into quarantine in it. Thankfully Linda took on our project and I can honestly say that it would not have been possible without her. She is knowledgeable, reliable and commits at a personal level. Throughout the project I felt that Linda was responsive to our needs and direction, guiding us and giving us choices that made sense both stylistically and budget wise. I quickly felt that we were in good hands and gave her free reign which I do not regret. Linda gave us a turn-key solution and we went straight into a 10 day quarantine in the flat, commenting each day to ourselves how lucky we were to have had Linda’s support. Our neighbours have also frequently commented on how professionally managed our renovation and fitting has been, mentioning Linda by name.

Linda was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. She listened to what we wanted to achieve with our show home and she certainly delivered. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Will definitely use her again. Farcroft Homes, Dorset

We are in the process of selling our family home on the west coast of Sweden and engaged Linda from StyledSpaces to help us stage our house. Having accumulated many items over the years, it was a daunting process, but Linda was very professional and service minded throughout. She used our existing furniture and accessories, decluttered most rooms and made the property feel modern, light and airy. She worked together both with the Estate Agent as well as the Photographer to assist in getting the best angles and light for the property photographs. We would highly recommend her services to anyone styling their home to sell or anyone looking for a house make over. //Ingela and Bruno Sjöberg

I needed to furnish a new apartment in the UK from 4000 miles away, so it was move-in ready within a month. I found Linda’s business on line by chance and only by the lap of the interior designer Gods, I struck gold. Linda’s incredible efficiency and vast knowledge of furniture suppliers, materials and colour palettes made the project possible. Her flawless attention to detail and her quick responses to all questions and queries made the whole process effortless. She staged the apartment beautifully and turned the apartment from a soul-less unit into a welcoming home. I can’t recommend Linda highly enough particularly if you are relocating or returning to the UK from abroad.

After living in my apartment for over twenty years, it was apparent that it needed substantial decluttering and refurbishment. The question then was whether to attempt the work myself or seek professional help. Having researched who was available in Dorset, I was fortunate to find Linda Doubleday of StyledSpaces who has transformed my living space into an area of which I am rightly proud. From the beginning when she first visited, she was friendly and outgoing, which coupled with her obvious flair and enthusiasm convinced me I could entrust her with the project. Having agreed a budget I gave her the go-ahead. She did not disappoint and having organised the disposal of my clunky furniture, she produced a plan which took advantage of the large light rooms and was beautifully colour coordinated. Not the least of her appeal is that she can call upon a team of skilled trades people who work quickly to a high standard, having to re-plaster all the ceilings, fit a new kitchen, repaint all the walls and woodwork and fit new carpets throughout. I should mention that when we decided on the replacement furniture and fabrics Linda was assiduous in seeking out the best prices available. She listens to the needs of her clients, is a great organiser and seems to have limitless patience. I recommend her unreservedly

From start to finish I experienced a really friendly and professional service from Linda. Her staging skills are second to none. I will definitely use StyledSpaces services again and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone looking for home design, staging and photography.

Linda helped us with staging our property and getting it ready to go on the market. Despite being at the other end of the country ( we’re in Edinburgh!) the virtual staging help was invaluable. Linda helped us figure out how to make best use of our existing furniture etc and dealt with all the various purchases of items for staging. It made the process of getting our house ready much easier than it would have been, it looked fantastic for marketing photos and sold within a week of going on the market, for more than we’d expected!

Linda from StyledSpaces was fantastic in helping us to put together our new home in Exeter. We bought our house in the middle of lockdown. We were looking for a cleaner more modern look. We had no idea where to start. Linda‘s approach was methodical, painstaking and no effort was spared in helping to provide us with a wide selection of options for each room. She kept us well within budget and made several visits to suppliers and to our home to make sure every piece of furniture, furnishing, finish, curtain, light fitting arrived on time and was properly positioned. She has even converted us to some wonderful Scandinavian homeware to complete the new look. We could not be happier. Thank you Linda and Styled Spaces.
