Before the formal dining room is staged it needs to be de-cluttered and have a thorough cleaning. The formal dining area has become a collect all and is not very welcoming upon entering into the room.
All non-dining room items were put in their proper room. Furniture, pictures and accessories were moved around or replaced. All items were cleaned. An intimate seating area was created in the bay window area. The more expensive colorful oil painting was switched to a more prominent view at the end of the table to draw your eye straight into the room. Soft music was played to show off the dining speakers located in the ceiling. The table was redecorated welcoming guests to sit down and eat. A great first impression upon entering the house!
