Staging Your Dining Room
Today's post is all about the dining room. While this room isn't a big selling feature, you need to make sure you do everything you can to make it look it's best. For example, it should not look like an offce, child's play room, exercise, or music room. If you use it for this purpose that is completely fine, but when you put your house on the market you will need to put it back as dining room. Borrow or rent a table and chairs if necessary, or use a card table or patio table and disguise it with a table cloth. A brass chandelier should be replaced with something more up to date. A china cabinet should not be over stuffed. Take some pieces out if necessary and use for decorations elsewhere in the home. The use of mirrors can make the dining room look larger, if available. Set the dining room table with attractive place settings so buyers can visualize entertaining there. A flower arrangement on the table will also help make the room more attractive. As with other rooms in the home, remove excess furniture such as tea carts and extra chairs. Take them to the garage. It is ok for the garage to be cluttered but not the house.
