WHEN SELLING A HOME, A
DINING ROOM NEEDS TO BE
STAGED PROPERLY IN ORDER TO
CATCH THE EYE OF POTENTIAL
BUYERS.
START WITH THE DINING TABLE as it’ll
be the focal point of the room. Choose a
table that won’t overpower the room by
being too big. If there’s a leaf, consider taking
it out to create more room for foot traffic
around the table. Don’t feel the need to fill
every available inch with dining chairs! Make
it look comfortable and inviting while leaving
enough space around the table to make the
room look spacious.
THE TABLE SHOULD BE CENTERED
directly under the light fixture. If it’s not
centered, it will throw the whole room off
and make things look uneven. If the fixture
is not in the right place, consider having
it professionally moved. If the fixture is
outdated, replace it!
FOR LARGE DINING ROOMS, add a
sideboard to give it a more luxurious feel.
Hang art or a mirror above it, unless it’s
placed beneath a window.
BRIGHTEN UP THE ROOM as much as
possible. If there’s a window, keep the
drapes open and consider hanging a mirror
on the opposite wall to reflect as much light
as possible
PLACE A FEW ACCESSORIES on the dining
table and sideboard. Flowers in a vase or a
few decorative objects are just a few options
but don’t add more than a few things as the
whole point is to minimize clutter and make
the room look more spacious. If the space
becomes too cluttered it can give potential
buyers negative thoughts. Art is also a must
so add a few pieces to tie it all together and
create that fabulous look everyone will love!
