The Art Hire Company, a new and innovative home-styling solution, is changing the way sellers prepare their properties for sale.
Instead of spending thousands of dollars buying artwork, homeowners can hire carefully curated pieces from a growing collection of more than 400 artworks, available to rent from $10 per week, per piece.

“We know that great styling helps homes sell faster and often for a better price,” said Amanda Geribello, owner of The Art Hire Company.
“But not everyone has the budget for designer staging or buying expensive artwork.
“Our service offers a practical, flexible, and affordable alternative.”
Amanda Geribello provided artwork in 19 De Haviland Ave, Benowa.
The service is designed to help people style their homes for maximum impact — making them stand out in online listings, at open inspections, and during private viewings — all without the upfront cost of buying artwork.
Based on the Gold Coast and servicing southeast Queensland and northern NSW, clients can select from a range of pieces to suit different styles and interiors with The Art Hire Company taking care of delivery and collection.

“Whether you’re styling a full home or just need that one perfect piece to bring a room together, we’ve got options that work,” Ms Geribello said.
“We’re making great design more accessible, and helping homeowners present their spaces in the best possible light.”
Ms Geribello said with many homes selling within weeks — but some needing longer on the market — the ability to extend artwork hire as needed gives sellers peace of mind and flexibility, without the pressure of committing to a full staging package.
