Freshen Up the Walls If you have scratches and dirty paint on your walls, or an outdated paint or fading wallpaper, a few cans of paint can make a dramatic difference. To maximize the sales value of your home, choose a neutral color scheme that will bring the entire home together, make the space appear larger, and appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.
Crown shape should be installed Crown shaping is a surprisingly simple task that can add character to a room. Install the bar by purchasing it from a hardware store, cutting it to size to fit your space (or having the store cut it for you), and nailing it to the top of the wall. You might even find moldings already painted. Crown molding installation requires some woodworking skills and the right tools, but it's an inexpensive project that you can do yourself.
Devices should be updated For just a few dollars, you can add a lot of swing to switch plates, socket covers, curtain rods, lights, and doorknobs. Metal switch plates and socket covers can cost as little as $ 5 each, but they look a lot more expensive. Some light fixtures and decorative curtain rods are a little more expensive, but you can make a cheap one look elegant with spray paint. Make sure you choose items in colors and styles that will appeal to a wide audience if you want to sell them.
Ceiling fans should be installed Electric bills are rising, making ceiling fans an appealing addition to any home. Fans can reduce air conditioning costs, and they can also reduce heating costs by circulating warm air away from the ceiling. A main fan costs around $ 50, and a nice one can't cost more than a few hundred dollars. You may need to hire a professional if you don't already have skylight wiring, which can add significantly to the cost of this project.
Window treatments should be improved Cheap vertical plastic blinds, paper blinds, and horizontal aluminum blinds that came with your home will not add value to your home. Replace them with plantation shops, wooden blinds or curtains. Also, when you sell, choose neutral options that can help you get a better price.
