STYLING THE DINING ROOM
DECORAT ING T I PS • Mood lighting is important in the dining room, be sure to discuss the different lighting needs for the different uses of the space. • Drapery choices can dramatically change the mood of the dining space as well. • A mirror over a buffet or sideboard can really brighten up a space. A fun entertaining suggestion is to write a message on a mirror with an erasable pen. • Avoid natural rugs in the dining room as they are difficult to remove stains from and can be difficult to scoot a chair on. • You can change the look of the dining room seasonally simply by changing the linens and the centerpiece to reflect the season with elements from nature, vases, vase filler, and candlesticks. • Choose coordinating or matching materials to make your dining room flow together just so, or pick out a contrasting style to serve as a subtle statement piece in the room • Use the opportunity to recommend WS Tabletop product to finish the look. • Your client may want to position painter’s tape in the room itself, representing each furniture piece in actual size, to see how the layout will impact the traffic flow. • Before selling any large pieces of furniture, make sure the item will fit through all doors and entryways, elevators, and staircases.
