"leaving your dining room table set at all times to make your home more welcoming."

If that's what it takes to make a home "more" welcoming, we're in bad shape!

I think my dining room is welcoming enough without keeping the table set for dinner guests. Of course, we all do what makes us happy in our own homes.

No, I used to when all the family was still home. That was long ago so no it makes no sense. I keep it decorated nicely usually by season or tradition, birthday, etc.

No, they'll suggest/say anything to sell, sell, sell - besides minimalistic is the trend, who needs more to dust, etc. I do like having an attractive centerpiece on the table.

Funny that this came up.

I've been watching youtube videos of deserted mansions and castles by a person named BigBankz. He's an urban explorer and this castle had the table still set with china. And yes, this activity is considered trespassing.

Yes...

No.

I think dusting and cleaning would be a pain & I would not find it practical for how we live and use the room.

I just keep a crystal vase filled with fresh flowers on the table. It's cheery and easy to remove when I am dusting the room.

I always have a table cloth on the dining room table to fit the season. I also have a center piece that I decorate according to the season. I don't agree setting the dining room table is welcoming, my home is welcoming because I am here, LOL!!!!!!

I love to eat at my formal dining table, but I would never feel comfortable using dishes, silverware and glassware that had been sitting out. My home is clean, but the HVAC is on 24/7 and who knows what kind of air it's been blowing over the dining table? NOPE. Would never consider such a thing. Plus, it's ugly looking at tableware all day.

My furniture is gorgeous with a simple crystal vase filled with fresh flowers every few days. It's my home and decorated how I like it when I sit down to enjoy a meal or when I walk by and enjoy a whiff of fresh scent!
