'Moving Matters' is a distinctive property presentation company, centrally based in South Wales, specialising in making desirable interiors for the property market.

Our aim is to maximise the potential for home owners, property developers and estate agents to sell properties promptly, and at the best price.

Within our service portfolio, we offer a de-cluttering service; we can offer advice on suitable storage solutions and suggest options of recycling or dispose of unwanted items.

The interior design service offers a complete re-design of tired or shabby rooms.

The staging service allows each room to be shown to potential viewers in a show home style, using soft furnishings and furniture in a stylish and professional manner. Moving Matters can purchase these items, use the clients own furnishings or offer a rental package.

Justine Stroud, owner of Moving Matters, has a B.A. (Hons) in fine art and qualifications in City and Guilds, Interior Design. Before setting up her own property presentation business she has designed and created dried flower displays for a major department store in Cardiff, worked as a scenic artist for S4C, The Welsh National Opera, Debenhams and C & A's.

"Restyling houses for friends who were selling was enjoyable. I then decided to set up Moving Matters because properly prepared houses can sell quickly and for much more than those properties unstaged or in a unprepared condition. So now, more people can add extra value to their homes if we can give help, advice and expertise about the property before selling". Moving Matters covers the whole of South Wales.

Although Justine has great skill and flair needed to prepare your property for sale her services remain surprisingly affordable.

Assessment. The assessment will establish what services are required in the property.

Consultation. A walk though of the property will be carried out, verbal recommendations and advice will be offered for each room. Photographs will be taken and notes written of clients needs and comments. An informal chat is given at the end to summarise what services are required.

De-Cluttering. De-Cluttering can help decide what items are stored (either in professional storage facilities or in the home) thrown away, or recycled by giving them to charity. Best use of storage can also be suggested.

Action Plan. A written step by step play outlining what action needs to take place in each area of the property. The client can carry out the work himself or employ other contractors to do this for him. He will also be advised as to what materials, tools and costs may be involved.

Mood Board. A mood board helps the client and professional gather inspiration for a new room design. After initial discussion with the client, samples can be complied together creatively and aesthetically. This can include material swatches, beads, ribbons, paint colours, photographs of furniture etc. The client is then presented with the completed mood board.

Room Make-Over. Consultation will reveal what the requirements of the room are. Some of the possibilities can be to clean the room, clear the room of curtain clutter, rearrange furniture, re-decorate and present or stage the room for viewers.

Staging. Moving Matters professional home staging service can help you to prepare your property for sale saving you money, time and energy. We can present your home using our own soft furnishings package to maximise the property's buyer appeal. If you are working within a budget we can utilise your own furniture and accessories or purchase and source items for you. This is not only an option before you put your property on the market but also it is quite possible to dress or stage the house afterwards and turn the next viewer into a confirmed buyer.
