5 Upgrades that Have a Big Impact on Your Home
Making the decision to sell your home is exciting but there’s a lot that has to happen between the time you make the decision and the time you sell your home. And whether you’ve been in it for years and it’s well-loved, or it just needs a few updates, we’re sharing 5 upgrades you can make on a budget that will have a big impact on your home.
1. Fresh coat of paint.
Giving your home a fresh coat of paint, whether it’s outside or inside, will make a huge difference. When selling, always opt for neutral colors to make it easier for buyers to imagine their belongings in their space.
While you’re at it, give the ceilings and any trim a fresh coat of paint, too. These are two areas that don’t get painted often, so a fresh coat of white paint will really make them pop.
2. Switch out lighting and ceiling fans.
Flush mount lighting and ceiling fans can really date a space and by switching them out with modern options, the look and feel of a space can instantly change. Home Depot and Lowes have some great budget-friendly options, but depending on the style of your home, you can also find some great options at Crate and Barrel, CB2, and West Elm.
3. Switch out faucets and shower heads.
It’s amazing what a new faucet and shower head can do to a bathroom! If it’s been awhile since you’ve updated and replaced yours, there’s a good chance the finish has worn away. New fixtures will instantly freshen up the space and offer you money savings with the increased efficiency of fixtures.
4. Swap out cabinet hardware.
Switching out knobs and pulls on cabinets throughout your home, whether they’re in the bathroom or kitchen, is such an easy way to improve the visual aspect of the rooms in your home. You can find great knobs and pulls that everyone will love for less than $20 a piece at Home Depot, Lowes, Anthropologie, and CB2.
5. Update window treatments throughout the house.
Window treatments fade really quickly since they are in the direct line of UV rays. While they might not seem like something that matters too much, they’re something no one wants to update on their own so switching them out prior to listing your home will make potential buyers really happy.
