Purchase price. Planning. Build costs. Kitchens. Bathrooms. Flooring. Lighting. Landscaping. Professional photography. Estate agent fees. But there is one part of the budget that is still often left until the very end. Presentation. And in many cases, it is the final 5% that can make the biggest difference to how a finished property is actually perceived.

One minute you're excited because you've got a viewing booked, the next you're wondering if you've forgotten something obvious! The truth is, buyers often make their minds up within the first few minutes of walking through the door. They're not just looking at the bricks and mortar – they're imagining what life would feel like living there. The good news? You don't need to spend thousands of pounds to make a great impression.

Surprisingly, that's often not the case! One of the biggest misconceptions in property is that an empty house allows buyers to imagine their own furniture. In reality, most people struggle to visualise how a room could work. In fact, studies have shown that many buyers find it difficult to picture the size, purpose and potential of an empty space. Instead of seeing possibilities, they see uncertainty. Empty rooms don't...]]></description><link>https://www.demilainteriors.com/post/propertystaging</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5a69d90d39a4adf280c8c8</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jul 2026 17:52:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d83216_53ca9525ebdf41e9bd850a83ce030d70~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>nicoladacosta</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[10 Reasons Your House Isn't Selling (And How Home Staging Can Help)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Selling your home can be an emotional rollercoaster! One minute you're excited to get it on the market, then weeks go by... maybe you've had a few viewings, lots of people saying they "love it", but still no offers. The first thought is usually, "Do we need to drop the price?" Sometimes, yes. But honestly? Not always. I've been into so many homes where there's absolutely nothing wrong with the property itself. It just isn't showing buyers what it could be.

Read This First.]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the conversations I have most often with homeowners goes something like this... "We've had a few viewings, but no offers. Do you think we need to reduce the price?" Sometimes, yes. If a property is significantly overpriced for the market, that's a different conversation. But in many cases, the problem isn't the price at all. It's how the property is being presented.
