6 Ways to Enhance Your Home’s Appeal
Brandishing your home does not have to be expensive. In fact, here are six simple rearrangements you can make that will create a more outstanding dwelling for you to show off.
#1. Declutter
Easier said than done, but simply finding a place for the mail thrown onto the table, or the shoes strewn across the front entrance, or books and toys can help restore clear mindedness and clear spaces for visitors.
Though it may be difficult, some treasured items may not belong where they presently reside.
Try to be consistent with your colors and styles.
#2. Seasonal Deep Cleaning
Squeezing in a weekly deep house cleaning may be unrealistic for some, however, it is well worth getting the hard-to-reach and overlooked parts of the bathrooms and kitchen at least twice a year.
This may under the sink or behind the toilet. Others may or may not see it but at least you will feel better about its cleanliness.
Consider cleaning and regrouting your tiles or steam cleaning the wood floors.
#3. Add–or Rearrange–Lighting
Even in the same room you can differentiate multiple spaces by installing different lighting in each area. Install a dimmer for the overhead lights so that you can have more control over the mood of the room.
Place a reading lamp next to your recliner and sconces behind the couch.
#4. Upgrade Your Hardware
Although a complete kitchen makeover may be out of reach, replacing the smaller things like drawer pulls and faucets freshens out the general look and can certainly add value to the home.
Save money by focusing on that particular item and going all out by searching thrift stores or websites like etsy for new or different styles.
Over time and little by little you can subtly create a home you might not even recognize at the end of it all.
#5. Repaint
Definitely, the most time costly, yet, noticeable change you can make is painting. White is a no brainer for those who wish to feel less crowded or cluttered in their home. Neutral colors like Shale, Storm, and Beige work in any home. Consider painting the front door too, or the floors.
#6. Take an Empty Space and Experiment
If the hardware is perfectly fine, the dining room table spotless, and the wall colors too good to cover up, but you still feel uneasy about the appearance of your home try taking an otherwise empty space in the house and set up a table or shelf there.
Add picture frames or vases with flowers. Come up with a theme so that it does not become like any other ordinary part of the home.
Place a table by the front door for a bowl of candy or pictures, postcards, and holiday cards from the family.
Conclusion
These tips are just a springboard for the your hidden creativity. Before long you will never want to sell your home.
