Continuing last month’s theme of renovation projects and getting your home market-ready (if you’re planning a move), here are some additional tips for upgrading your home’s maximum value.
Strategic Color Choices for Paint: A fresh coat of paint is more than a facelift, it’s an opportunity to significantly enhance the appeal of your home. Choosing neutral colors will not only speak to a broader range of buyers, but lighter colors can also give a room the appearance of being larger, especially when enhanced by natural lighting.
Flooring with Harmonious Hues: We’ve all got busy lives these days—choosing materials that not only look great and harmonize with your decor but are also durable and easy to maintain is the way to go! Consider high quality laminate as a cost-effective way to achieve that hardwood or tile look you want without breaking the bank.
Let There Be Light: Cosmetic upgrades to lighting and window treatments is another budget-friendly way to enhance your home’s appeal. Window treatments that allow maximum natural light inside helps a room feel lighter, larger, and more welcoming. Smart light bulbs are the new “it” trend—allowing you to not only control them remotely, but also off the ability to choose intensity and hue to further complement your décor.
Energy Efficiency is King: No one likes high energy bills and there are many ways to increase the energy efficiency of your home. Installing reversible ceiling fans in bedrooms and living/family rooms helps maintain a more comfortable temperature and can reduce the need for air condition and heating by keeping rooms cooler in the summer and, when reversed, warmer in the colder months by recirculating the warm air that is normally trapped up near the ceiling.
