Reservoir is one of the biggest suburbs in Melbourne’s north, with older homes on large blocks being replaced by modern townhouses and units. First-home buyers and young families are drawn here for the price and the train line, and many are choosing between several new townhouses in the same street.
Decor 2 Sell stages and styles homes across Reservoir, Preston and Thornbury with our own furniture and install team, usually within 3 days of booking.
A Reservoir home we staged
This modern townhouse has an open-plan living area with polished concrete-look tiles, a white kitchen with a marble-look benchtop and a pendant light, a dining area, a study nook, a bathroom with a freestanding bath and several carpeted bedrooms. Like most new townhouses, it had clean finishes but nothing to make it memorable in the photos.
We gave it a soft, modern look. A curved cream sofa and two bouclé armchairs sit around a round black coffee table, under a large botanical artwork. A black dining table with cream chairs sits beside the kitchen, and a timber desk and chair turn the study nook into a working space. The bedrooms are styled with a grey bedhead, a pink circular artwork and a green palm-print throw.

Selling a townhouse or home in Reservoir
- Townhouse against townhouse. When several new builds are listed in one street, styling is the clearest way to stand out.
- Compact rooms. Well-sized furniture shows buyers that a bedroom fits a queen bed and the study nook really works.
- First-home buyers. They want to picture moving straight in, not furnishing from scratch.
Full staging for vacant Reservoir homes
Empty homes are hard for buyers to read. We furnish the living areas, dining, bedrooms and outdoor spaces with our own furniture, art, rugs and linen, so buyers can see the size and purpose of every room. More about home staging.
Property styling for lived-in homes
Still living there? We work with the furniture you have, then add the pieces, art and linen that lift each room, and keep the home practical for daily life during the campaign. More about property styling.
