Dining Room Decorating Tips To Sell Your Home

Make Sure it’s Lit

If you’re showing the house during the day, be sure to open all blinds and curtains in order to let in as much natural sunlight as possible. Also, turn on all the lights and change or add lights in order to make the room as bright as possible. 

Brighten the Buffet

When staging a room, every detail counts. This buffet goes from bland and basic to glamourous in no time with just a few basic pieces.

First, add a mirror on one wall to let the light reflect out into the room.


Second, place two candlestick lamps on the buffet to give the room a warm glow.


Finally, add a decorative plate and box and surround the buffet with plants to complete the look.



Create Good Traffic Flow

Just like with every other room in the house, you want to create the feeling of spaciousness. This means making sure there is plenty of room to navigate around the table. Place two of the chairs against the wall and remove the table left, if necessary, to make the room feel big and bold.

 Set the Table for a Sale


Buyers need to be able to picture themselves entertaining their family and friends in the space. This can be accomplished by setting out some place settings, including dishes, cloth napkins and crystal wine glasses. Also, adding a tasteful centerpiece or fresh flowers gives the room a fresh, bright look.

Create a Balance Between Formal and Informal




Every buyer is different with different tastes and wants. Be sure not to turn off a buyer with a too-formal dining room, but also be careful not to make it too casual either. Instead, strike a balance with small vases, basic candleholders and decorative elements that are fun and functional at the same time.

From Bland to Bam: How to stage a boring bedroom with basics like Bed in a Bag

Oftentimes people don’t know where to begin when prepping their home to sell. One of the first steps, and often one of the most difficult, is decluttering and depersonalizing the space we call home. Time spent living in a house brings years of knick knacks, family photos and torn and tattered furniture and fabrics. We often fail to notice the wear and tear our carpet, drapes and bedspreads have taken over the years. The hole in the throw pillow where our golden retriever Sophie pulled out the stuffing or the dip in the sofa where dad has a direct view to the television often goes unnoticed by household members, but focused on by potential buyers. Thus, the first step in preparing a house to sell is to pack up all the family photos, flowered vases and doilies knitted by Aunt Sue. Next, paint the walls a neutral color such as beige, white or the light gray in the bedroom below.   After this, minimize the amount of furniture in the room. Two nightstands, a dresser and ...

Prepping a home for sale may seem like a daunting task, especially when your space is slighter with less square footage. Focus on your smaller home’s strengths, while downplaying its weaknesses with these 10 tips to stage your condo,  townhouse  or tiny home. Tip #1 Minimize the Furniture In small spaces, less is more. Focus on putting only essential elements in the room, keeping them small in scale. Glass tables, like the ones on either side of this bed, are ideal because the clearness of the glass gives the impression of airiness and space, while hanging the one-piece lamp and side tables on the wall also helps clear floor space. Tip #2 Light up and declutter a tiny, dark bath Tip #3 Use a Round Dining Table in the Kitchen Buyers like being able to eat in the kitchen, but some kitchens may not offer the space to do so.

Often sellers forget that buyers are purchasing the house itself, not the objects inside it. In order to let buyers see what they are truly buying, use large, simple objects to accentuate the features of the house. Remove extra furniture and Knick knacks for a clean, simple look that is sure to impress buyers. Tip #1 The Bigger the Better When staging a home office, opt for a simple desk with clean, modern lines. Accentuate it with a ‘50s throwback chair, decorative desk lamp, and simple lap top. Also, a big TV screen mounted above the desk is ideal for offices that serve a dual purpose as a den or extra bedroom. Tip #2 Back to Basics Staging a living or family room with a neutral color sofa and throw pillows helps to anchor the room while placing a rounded coffee table in front gives buyers ample room to walk around and peruse their future purchase. A simple side table and floor lamp add the final touch to this basic, but beautiful room. Tip #3 ...
