Home Staging Tips: Define the Room

Home Staging Tips: Define the Room

I had the pleasure of helping a homeowner stage the dining room in her Allen, TX home. As you can see from the photo below, the room was used for many activities, except for dining.

Tip: When staging your home for sale it's important to define each room, in other words, tell potential buyers how the room should be used by placing specific furnishings in it. This way buyers can imagine themselves living in the home.

Our goals for the room:

1. Clear out the clutter, including the personal items and collections

2. Maximize the architectural details

3. Maximize the square footage

4. Define the room as the formal dining room

This is how the room looked after we staged it:

This is what we did:

1. Took the table and chairs from the kitchen nook and placed them in the dining room

2. Released the chandelier which had been tied up

3. Touched-up paint

4. Placed decorative plates in the niches

5. Hung iron art on the wall

6. Accessorized the dining table

Coffee Tables with Pizazz- Allen, Plano, McKinney Real Estate Stager

Here are a few of my favorite coffee tables that I have had the opportunity to decorate. All of the tables were decorated with items that I found in my clients' homes -nothing new was purchased!














This coffee table above is made of petrified wood and has great texture and rustic appeal. This homeowner had a collection of decorating books, a vase of bamboo that I found in the kitchen, a fossil that resembles a snail shell and a carved box of wood. I think all of the natural elements are beautiful!

















Here is a traditional coffee table with two bronze figures, greenery, and a very special book.




















This coffee table is decorated with the Fairmont Urn from Southern Living at Home. I added faux greenery and fresh bird of paradise to give it some flair. I really like orange!

















This coffee table has great details. It is decorated with, again, more books to add height to the urn, a silver box and greenery. This look is very romantic!













This is a great Arts and Crafts table. I added round shaped pottery and carved wooden pieces to compliment the table.















This is a simple table with a wood top and iron base. The owner had this beautiful bromeliad plant on a built in shelf. It adds color and interest to the coffee table. The candle stick holder is iron, which coordinates with the table and I liked the tambourines that the home owner picked up while traveling abroad, so I had to use them!

Staged Homes Sell Quickly- Allen, McKinney, Plano Home Stager

I work with Holly to give me the best opportunity possible to sell my homes quicker. Especially in a stale market like this, agents and sellers alike need to take advantage of all resources available to move property. Any agent that has ever shown a property knows that buyers can get turned off from great homes because they just aren’t staged correctly. We need our sellers to realize that stagers help sell. Marketing your property within the walls of the home is very important. Many agents just list to get listings and are not worried about the time on the market, but for an agent that cares about their clients and wants to move property quicker, there is no better way than to invest in a stager.
