Thank you everyone for your ideas. It has refreshed my motivation to pursue my relationship with what was becoming "the dreaded sample pot". The pictures link was great and I really have a stronger sense of what I like and what hopefully will work for me and my home. Thanks again. KJ

The room looks lovely. The rug is too light in fabric weight - it could be dangerous if someone caught their toe under it. And as mentioned by others - you need some colour. I know that it is advised by some people that a mat should go under the furniture, however, that is not always possible.

He might be right - you may have a beautifully furnished home that looks like a display home, that doesn't need to be staged. If not, then I would seek a few quotes for staging and get a feel for what the different staging professionals can suggest for a budget staging. Some of them may be able to show you examples of similar post-war houses that they have staged. At the end of the day there are lots of people at the entry level of the market looking to purchase their first home (who like nice looking homes) and having it nicely staged will increase the amount of interest, the amount of competition and hopefully the price, due to the laws of supply and demand. Have you engaged your agent to just sell your home, or to try and acheive the maximum sale value? Best of luck with your marketing, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
