Your Watching - How to Staging a Dining Room. Invoke the buyer's emotions by setting the stage in the dining room. This is the one room in the home that you can really show off and grab the buyer's attention.
Your Watching Table Layering - Setting the table is a great way to get into the minds of your viewers and make them see themselves eating there. Put out plates, glasses and silverware (no knives) and some beautiful, cloth napkins. Remember, a dining room should be more formal than the rest of the house as it is meant for fancier dinners, get-togethers and special occasions.
Your Watching - How to Stage a Small Kitchen Table. Host John Mangano demonstrates how you can stage a small dining area in the kitchen to add a sense of functionality and warmth.
Dining Room Staging Channel
Dining rooms used to be a sign of wealth, as ordinary folks ate in their kitchens. While this may me more fun and convenient on a day to day basis, when doing home staging, you should show off every asset that your home has to offer. Your dining room should welcome guests to a romantic atmosphere that takes them away from their regular, everyday lives. Think of all those wonderful pictures in home magazines and keep them in mind as you work to transform your dining room.
Open up the room as much as possible by removing excess furniture such as unneeded chairs, etc. You should be left with your dining room table, 4-6 chairs and a china cabinet and/or one buffet table.
Polish your table and make it sparkle! Add a rug that is large enough to keep all the chairs on it when dining.
To give some excitement to the room, hang a piece of art or two. Remember, you're trying to keep it as de-personalized as possible, so the more generic the better. These can still be bold and stunning, just don't hang family portraits and you'll be fine. And, as with any room, add some greenery to let the room breathe.
