Curated with care, loved for a lifetime
At Katrina Hobbs Design, every project has been enriched by the beautiful pieces we’ve worked with and the fascinating stories and people behind them - and with The Curated Home, this passion takes shape in a new chapter.
The Concept
Have beautiful homewares you no longer use?
Perhaps you were gifted something wonderful that doesn’t quite suit your home, or you’ve held onto a beautiful item that no longer fits your lifestyle.
The Curated Home gives you the opportunity to pass your item on with pride, knowing its beauty will be celebrated, its story appreciated, and its life continued sustainably, with the added reward of something back in your pocket.
At The Curated Home, we offer a refined way to sell your high-end, pre-loved pieces. Each item is styled, photographed, and presented with the care it deserves, ready to bring character and quality into its next home.
Choosing us means your treasured items are placed in an environment where design and storytelling meet, attracting buyers who truly value craftsmanship and style. We take care of the process from start to finish, so you can simply enjoy seeing your pieces find their next chapter.
When you sell with us, you’re not only giving your homewares a second life, you’re also contributing to a more sustainable way of living.
When you shop with us, you’re choosing pieces with history, character, and integrity - curated with care for your home.
How to Sell Your Pre-Loved Homewares with The Curated Home
Step 1: Share the Story
Send us high-resolution and detailed images of your piece along with a short description. Where applicable, include the brand, original purchase price, and how long you’ve owned it - details that help honour its story.
Step 2: Location & Shipping
Let us know where the item is based and whether it can be shipped, couriered, or is for collection only. You’ll cover the cost of sending your item to us, and we’ll take care of shipping it on to its new home once it sells.
Step 3: Valuation
Our team will review your piece and propose a price that reflects its quality, heritage, and market appeal.
Step 4: Agreement
Once you’ve approved the valuation, the process is seamless from here.
Step 5: Styling & Sale
We style and photograph your item with care, giving it the chance to be appreciated anew, and completing the circle of sustainable living.
Step 6: Reward
Earn 65% cash back or 70% store credit when your item sells - a return that’s both stylish and sustainable.
