Tip #1: Eliminate Obvious Flaws
Worn out carpet, holes in drywall behind doors, grubby looking kitchen appliances, and clutter are all things that ought to be eliminated before you start looking for other ways to make improvements. In addition, look at the little things you might have become used to – for example, burned out light bulbs or dirty grout around faucets and in tubs and showers makes a home look as though it has been poorly kept. If your kitchen appliances are older, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they need to be replaced, although they may need a deep cleaning or some updating; for example, you can give a refrigerator a new lease on life by replacing door seals, and by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting it. Go around your house and make a checklist of things that need to be cleaned and repaired, and work on fixing those things on a case by case basis.
Tip #2: Make the Most of Living Spaces
If you have a three bedroom home and are a couple with no children and no plans to have any in the near future, you might want to retain one guest bedroom and decorate it well, and transform the third bedroom into a study, a lounge, or even a media room. If you have a lot of open floor space and much of it is unoccupied, create various nooks to suit your purposes. Attics, bonus rooms, and unused dens can be easily repurposed to act as craft rooms, man caves, and more. Use your imagination; and, if you are selling your home, talk with your realtor about what it is that people are looking for in homes within your selling price range.
