Staging kitchen counters

Can anyone give suggestions on what we can do that's cheap for "staging" the counters? We have a fairly large space to play with. It's an L shaped counter. Minus the stove and sink. Thanks!

Re: Staging kitchen counters

First clear off all pots pans, paperwork. Im sure you know that though.

Then I would put maybe one of those Italian bottles with the olives and peppers and such(the ones that you don't open) KWIM.

then maybe a candle piece from BBB. But keep it mostly clear with just a few of those accent pieces.. that's all you'll need. Buyers like to invision there stuff there.

Good luck

ETA: One of those air fresheners with the bottle and sticks.....KWIM

Fresh baked muffins (buy them at the store!) and a candle with a similar scent.

Re: Staging kitchen counters

maybe a pretty bowl with lemons or lime or both in it.


Not the flowers.

Re: Staging kitchen counters

Flowers and fruit!

Bowl of apples or limes and lemons.


Two or three glass jars with coffee beans, flour, cookies, etc. inside.


If you have a window sil in the kitchen, a small cute potted green plant.


A small vase of colorful flowers or if you have a nice pitchen put some water inside and stick some flowers in there.

if you have a corner, maybe a pretty platter on a plate stand...or a cookbook open on a stand..
flowers, bowl of fruit.

The one we're buying had a wine rack on the counter. So cute! i think there was a candle too or something?

I would keep it simple. I would leave most of the space empty and make sure it didn't have any fingerprints on it.

Maybe something like this
