    Getting Kim in to style our home for sale was without doubt the best decision we could have made. We had some nice furniture and some not so nice furniture, and the way she brought it all together, rearranged, added some of her own props, you would think we had spent tens of thousands of dollars on designer furniture! Kim is a magician and with every wave of her wand each room in our home became perfectly staged ready for the photographer and our buyers, who snapped it up in record time! Kim is professional to deal with every step of the way, and the speed and detail in which she works is exceptional. If you are selling, or thinking ‘this room just doesn’t quite work’ then call Kim, she will amaze you.

    I am delighted to provide Kim Oliver with a Five Star review. I recently engaged Kim to elevate the interior my Burradoo home. Within moments of her first visit she was able to visualise exactly what was required - and even more importantly explain to me her vision. She respected the budget I had, and figured out exactly what changes were needed and where. The result was more than an elevation - it was a transformation. I love every interior styling element she had recommended. And I often just sit and immerse myself in the now wonderful atmosphere of my home. Kim, thank you.

    A week has passed since Kim came and helped us re-arrange our living space, and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. I contacted Kim because her classic, Hamptons aesthetic resonates with me. Kim came for an afternoon and helped us see our furnishings in a whole new light. It was 'hands-on' right from the minute she stepped through the door - moving things, trying things out, receiving advice and discussing options for future plans. Kim is friendly, professional, down-to-earth and above all else, someone with a stunning sense of style. We could not be happier with our 'new' home.

    We were first introduced to Kim through a friend who said ‘Kim is fantastic, she really knows how space works – it is really worth using her to style your home”. We had never used a ‘stylist’, and of course I thought ‘hello can’t I style it myself’….as I had perused so many real estate internal shots looking for homes. Therefore, I was a little reluctant to pay for someone to move my furniture around! However, we are convinced now, and trust Kim completely! We have now had Kim style two of our homes! The first one we had was taking months to sell. We had Kim come and just tell us what to do with what we had. She had instant charisma and knowledge. She is a burst of positive energy, with passion and ability for her craft. I liked her immediately – she was fun, positive and confident. She came down the path to our home and didn’t miss a beat…started immediately by saying “ok get rid of that, and put two plants there and take that away, put the other chair there…clear all that..” and so on.. The end result was fantastic photos and a quick sale. She also styled our current home that is now on the market and we’ve already had an offer after just one week! We are very impressed with lovely Kim. I wouldn’t use anyone else, and I hope to even get her to create a beautiful space for us to enjoy in our new home! Thank You Kim!!

    We were preparing a house for sale, we enlisted Kim's help to give us a step up into how people think, she has been absolutely wonderful treating us as partners and not just clients. Kim suggested removing furniture and unnecessary personal items that only mean something to us and were not showing the home to it's best advantage. We could not be more pleased with her suggestions and assistance. It has helped make this process so much easier and also given us ideas for our future homes. We highly recommend her

    After using Inside Room to style my property for sale, I loved the results so much I didn't want to sell. Still, after getting a fabulous price well over the reserve, I decided to call on Kim's services once again for my new home. What can I say, other than do it, its so worth getting in a styling expert with such flair to make house home. My own much loved pieces were incorporated with some new ideas to bring it all together perfectly. I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks so much to Kim at Inside Room. You are a gem!

Painting costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do painters typically charge?
Painting costs depend on the size of the job, the condition of existing surfaces, and whether the work is interior, exterior or both. Jobs requiring significant preparation such as sanding, filling or priming will generally cost more than a straightforward repaint over sound surfaces. Most painters quote per square metre or per room, with exterior work and multi-storey access typically attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.
Do painters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. In most Australian states and territories, painters carrying out domestic work above a certain value must hold a trade-specific licence or registration. Licensing requirements and thresholds vary by jurisdiction — for example, NSW requires a Contractor Licence for painting work. A licensed painter should be able to provide their licence number on request, and you can verify it with your state's building authority.
How should I prepare my home before painters arrive?
Most painters will handle masking, drop sheets and surface preparation as part of the job, but clearing the area of furniture, wall hangings and fragile items beforehand helps the job run smoothly and may reduce your quote. For exterior work, ensure the painter has clear access to all walls and that garden beds or outdoor furniture are moved back. Discuss any specific concerns like lead paint, mould or moisture damage before work begins so the painter can plan accordingly.
Does Inside Room have a verified ABN?
Yes. Inside Room has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
