Exclusive Partnership With John Lewis’s Chichester Store Announced

From focusing on property presentation ahead of a sale to making sure your new house feels like a home, many steps of the buying and selling process involve interior design and decoration. That’s why White & Brooks has launched an exclusive partnership with John Lewis’s Chichester store.

From now, John Lewis vouchers* will be gifted to sellers upon completion when they use White & Brooks to sell their property, with the department store’s Home Design Stylists waiting to help local residents who want to improve their property’s interior.

How to benefit from our exclusive partnership with John Lewis in Chichester

Contact White & Brooks to book a valuation of a property you’d like to sell. Once you have completed your property sale, we will provide £150 of John Lewis vouchers that can be redeemed against the department store’s amazing home and furnishing products.

Sellers looking to improve the presentation of their property ahead of our professional photographs and viewing appointments can choose from 1,000s of accessories and soft furnishing items that will add instant impact and colour. Everything from candles to cushions and lampshades to storage units is available from John Lewis’s Chichester store.

If the property you are selling is already viewing-ready, why not save the vouchers until you have moved into your new home? Head to Chichester and John Lewis’s ground floor for bathroom accessories, bed linen, kitchenware and electrical appliances, or the first floor for lighting, window dressings, floor coverings and furniture. 

The first floor is also where you’ll find John Lewis’s Home Design Service. After an initial consultation with one of its Home Design Stylists - either at the Chichester store or booked online - you will be able to:

1.     Arrange a video call, in-store or home visit consultation

2.     Discuss design ideas, inspiration and requirements for your space

3.     Receive mood boards, floorplans and even 3D visuals 

4.     Select specific products and order samples from a personalised list prepared by the Home Design Stylist

Getting your home market ready

We say not to judge a book by its cover but that’s unfortunately what most prospective buyers do, and we’re not just talking about kerb appeal.

For sellers, ten minutes is all you have to make a good first impression with potential buyers on viewings and even before then, the aesthetic appeal of your property will need to shine through in photographs to compel purchasers to book a visit. 

With some careful interior design upgrades before you go on the market, you could easily turn disinterest into desire, make your property more appealing during viewings and even achieve a higher sale price or rental value. 

Whether you are looking to rent out your home or revamp it ready to sell, the Home Design Stylists at John Lewis Chichester are experts at suggesting improvements and items to transform a home, even on a budget – just ask about their ‘refresh for less’ service. Whatever your motivation, the team’s no obligation consultation will result in recommendations personalised to your property and goals. 

Making your new home your own

As you prepare to complete the purchase of your new home, it’s likely you’ve already got interior design plans in mind. It can be an overwhelming task, however, with everything from colour schemes and textures, flooring and curtains, furniture and accessories to consider. 

Research from Norton Finance has revealed that homeowners spend an average of £805 on painting and decorating, £1,252 on new furniture and £1,014 on flooring in the first 12 months of moving somewhere new, so what better way to avoid costly mistakes or a design disaster by consulting with the experts? 

If you’re unsure of where to start or want a second opinion on your own interior ideas, the Home Design Stylists at John Lewis Chichester can help turn your dreams into reality. They will take into account your lifestyle and future plans to advise on colour, layout, themes and furniture. They can even suggest ideas for specific areas and rooms, such as a home office, a nursery or a teenager’s bedroom.
