Dining Table Staging Dilemma: To Set or Not to Set?

October 05, 2014 (posted by Jennifer Campbell, Home Staging Calgary)
Dining table staging shouldn’t be much of a dilemma. But it’s still a frequently asked question that I receive; should I set the dining table for staging? At one time, the trend was to set the table. Now, since staging is so popular, most buyers appreciate a home that is staged, but doesn’t look artificial or forced.
 

Would you leave your home with the dining table set? Most of us would answer no. That’s why Set Your Stage no longer adds full place settings to dining table staging.
 

Instead, we go for a more natural look.
 

Take this gorgeous 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom property, that we staged in Hillhurst recently. It sold so fast, I didn’t even get the photos for my website. As you can tell in the photo, we staged the dining area for simple elegance.

Before: Dining area before home staging.

See the difference professional home staging makes.

After: This dining space is perfect for family meals.

Clean, modern, with a simple orchid in the center. The purpose of the item placed in the middle of the table is to simply draw the potential buyer’s eye to notice how many people can fit in this space meant for entertaining.
 

Otherwise, they might be distracted from the feature of the room. You don’t want to miss any opportunity to make the most impact with every space.

After: This cozy open concept living & dining room is the perfect space for entertaining or relaxing.

The gorgeous lighting and the open space to the living room with a view of the fireplace and landscaped yard provide the main wow factors in the room. Staging furniture is both elegant and comfortable, perfect for lounging over a meal and conversation in this stunning space.
 

It’s important to stay current to ensure that staging is meeting the changing needs of both sellers and potential buyers. That’s why I re-took my staging class recently. I do the work so you don’t have to.
 

When you’re preparing your property for sale, don’t leave it to a guessing game. Trust a professional stager to help your property stand out from the competition.
