03 · For living
Private Home Decoration
Personal decoration and considered furniture, layout, colour and finishing touches for the home you live in every day.
Discuss your space →The meaning behind The Shift
More than a change in space. A shift in what comes next.
THE SHIFT is about seeing the potential in every space. It begins by understanding what already works, what could feel better and what will make a meaningful difference.
That change looks different for everyone. A seller needs buyers to connect with a property. A holiday guest needs to feel welcomed and comfortable. At home, we want surroundings that reflect how we truly live.
My approach is to listen first, then make thoughtful decisions about layout, furniture, colour, texture and the details that bring everything together. The aim is always the same: a space that feels right for the people who experience it.
AnaFor selling
Help buyers imagine themselves there, while giving owners a clear and achievable plan for preparing their property.
For staying
Create a welcoming holiday property where guests can settle in, feel at ease and remember their experience.
For living
Bring comfort, character and personal meaning into the private spaces you spend your days in.
A shift in your space. A shift in perspective. A new chapter.

After a few friends had successfully sold their homes using Ana’s services for staging, I gave her a call when it was time to sell my own home. She was like a breath of fresh air and brought ideas, colours, and exquisite furniture to show my home in a whole new fresh look. The first open home attracted over 60 people and it sold successfully at auction for a great price. Not only would I recommend Ana for any house sales, I was so impressed I’m also getting her advice on setting up my new home.

My home renovation was finally completed and ready for the sale process. Ana Mandiola was recommended to me by my Real Estate agent with the view of staging. I met Ana at my house for her assessment of what staging would be best suited. My impression of Ana was very professional. The house was completely empty. Ana transformed the house into a welcoming home with understated elegance which definitely helped in the selling process. I would not hesitate in recommending Ana to anyone who is considering staging their house.
She tailored a price to fit our budget and was friendly, cheerful and easy to work with.

My property is in Mudgeeraba and I live in Sydney but at no stage did I feel the distance or left out of this process.

Ana’s styling was way better than expected and was simply beautiful. My property is in Mudgeeraba and I live in Sydney but at no stage did I feel the distance or left out of this process. Ana sent me videos of the furniture, which helped me so much. The home was being sold by Karyn O’Dea and together their attention to detail was outstanding. There is NO DOUBT in mind the styling guaranteed me a great result. I would love to share the points Ana provided to me. Service and communication; cared about the process, not just a job booked in; videos of end look; works to your budget; the property looked amazing once styled; together with Karyn it was a WIN, WIN situation.
Each room was dressed beautifully making each room more attractive which made it extremely appealing to potential buyers.

We were originally referred to Ana by our Real Estate and we couldn’t have been happier. Ana was amazing and offered a complete professional service and nothing was ever a problem. Ana had great ideas for our home. Each room was dressed beautifully making each room more attractive which made it extremely appealing to potential buyers. Ana definitely has a flair for styling and with her furniture and soft furnishing selections and this had a massive impact on the sale price. The property sold within a couple of days at an absolute premium and this couldn’t have been achieved without Ana’s staging. We highly recommend Ana to anyone looking to stage their property as you will not be disappointed.

I'm Ana Mandiola. Since 2016, I've worked with properties across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers, bringing together an eye for proportion, a love of natural materials and a belief that styling should feel connected to the space itself.
For me, the magic is in the balance: calm but compelling, elevated but liveable, confident without trying too hard.
