Our Top 5 Must-Have Styling Pieces (And Why They Work Every Time)
Share
At Styled by Kas, we don’t just place furniture - we curate impact. Every piece is selected with intention, because in styling, the details matter. Over time, a few favourites have earned their place as go-to essentials in our installs. They elevate a space instantly, bring cohesion to a room, and create that emotional connection buyers respond to.
Here are five pieces we reach for again and again - and why they never miss.
1. Oversized Art
Nothing transforms a blank wall faster, or more powerfully than art. We love working with large-scale, modern pieces to anchor a room and set the tone.
Art does more than fill a space, it adds energy, depth, and a point of interest that stays with buyers long after they’ve walked out. Whether it’s abstract, tonal, or bold, it’s always intentional.
It’s the hero piece that often ties everything else together.
2. Statement Armchairs
Armchairs are functional, yes but when styled right, they’re also sculptural. We often use statement chairs to soften corners, break up long spaces, or add visual interest without overwhelming the room.
Texture and form are key here. Curves, boucle, timber frames, these elements help the space feel high-end and considered.
3. Textured Rugs
Rugs ground a space. They add warmth, scale, and subtle layering that finishes a room. We lean toward neutral tones with rich textures, think wool blends, looped piles, and earthy weaves.
It’s the kind of detail that buyers won’t always notice consciously, but it completely changes how a space feels underfoot and in photos.
4. Neutral Linen Bedding
When we style bedrooms, we keep it fresh and calm. Crisp linen in neutral tones adds that effortless luxury buyers associate with boutique hotels. It softens the space, photographs beautifully, and lets us build layers with throws and cushions without overwhelming the room.
Bedrooms aren’t just functional - they’re emotional. This styling choice helps people imagine themselves waking up in that space.
5. Sculptural Decor + Books
We’re minimal with our styling, but the right decor matters. Think ceramic vases, stacked books, or organic-shaped objects in timber or stone finishes. These pieces bring personality without clutter.
Used sparingly, they give the space just enough polish to feel lived-in—, without taking away from the architecture or flow of the room.
Styling isn’t about how much you add - it’s about what you choose.
And at Styled by Kas, every piece is selected to create impact, balance, and emotional pull. These five elements show up in almost every install for a reason: they work.
