In 2014 most home buyers are searching for homes with formal dining rooms and if you plan on selling your home you can turn your dining room into a desirable space with these home selling tips.

Tip 1 – Think Differently About Your Dining Room Table

Yes, most dining rooms have a classic long dining room table but you can break from the status quo by choosing a non-traditional dining room table.

Some of the most popular shapes for dining room tables in 2014 include ovals, kidney shape, rectangle and circle.

Although it might seem weird to not choose a long dining room table, for your Bend Oregon Home, keep in mind that your goal should be to choose a table that comfortably seats 6 people so if you find a non-traditionally shaped dining room table and it seats 6, you should think about buying it.

Tip 2 – Choose Different Woods

Don’t just choose a dark wood for your dining room table and furniture by default, you should consider choosing a dining room table and furniture that’s made from other woods including: maple, cherry, oak, walnut, mahogany or teak because there are plenty of wood options for you to choose from.

Tip 3 – Consider a Glass Table

Some people who are interested in reading the best home selling tips might not be open to choosing a glass dining room table but keep in mind that a glass table can modernize any dining room and they are easier to keep clean too.

Tip 4 – Think about Using Mismatched Chairs

Let’s say you have a dining room table that seats 6 people comfortably, you should consider adding 2 different chairs to your table because, this will give your dining room table an updated look without costing you a lot of money.

You can also update any dining room by adding bright or colorful artwork because, this will help to modernize and breathe fresh life into any space.

Tip 5 – Grab Your Slip Covers

Depending on the style of your dining room chairs you can easily update your dining room by dressing your chairs with slip covers.

Slip covers are affordable and you can change them out on a monthly basis to create a freshly updated feel for your dining room.
