The Duo that is, THE INDOOR STATE.
At The Indoor State, styling is more than aesthetics—it’s about emotion, atmosphere, and the feeling of home. It’s about the stories a space can hold, and the ones still waiting to be written. And at the heart of this philosophy are two women whose bond is as layered and beautiful as the homes they create: Maddalena and Ange—a mother and daughter-in-law duo with a shared love of design, detail, and quiet transformation.
Their story began long before The Indoor State was born. Years ago, Ange took on the incredible task of renovating and styling a home nestled deep in the Hunter Valley—an olive-tree-lined property with views that seemed to stretch forever. It wasn’t just a renovation. It was a restoration of soul. And during that time, Maddalena moved in, working closely alongside Ange, watching each decision unfold, each detail take shape. From raw plans to refined finishes, she witnessed the home evolve into one of the Hunter Valley’s most remarkable properties—its beauty understated, yet unforgettable.
That home would later become the place where Maddalena and Aidan were married. A space that held so much history, and even more heart.
It was in those early days—surrounded by olive trees, paint samples, and design sketches—that the foundations of The Indoor State were quietly being laid. The process sparked something in both women: a shared rhythm, a mutual trust, and a deep respect for the feeling that intentional design can create. Years later, that spark became a business—a Newcastle home staging service built on emotion, elegance, and intuitive storytelling.
Today, their work speaks for itself. Homes across Newcastle are transformed by their touch—styled not just to impress, but to connect. Maddalena brings warmth and a refined sensitivity to detail; Ange brings grounded calm and decades of creative experience. Together, they design homes that don’t just show well—they feel right.
They understand that selling a home is deeply personal. It’s not just about helping buyers fall in love with a space—it’s about helping sellers let go of it, too. And that’s where The Indoor State stands apart. Their Newcastle home staging isn’t about flashy trends or over-styled rooms—it’s about creating a sense of place. Soft textures. Timeless pieces. Organic flow. A calm kind of beauty.
People remember how a space makes them feel. And for Maddalena and Ange, that feeling is everything.
If you're preparing to sell your home and want a staging experience that’s thoughtful, bespoke, and filled with intention, The Indoor State offers exactly that—two women, one vision, and an innate ability to bring homes to life.
Because the best spaces don’t just look beautiful. They hold stories—and invite new ones in.
