4 Ways to Improve Your Home Appeal

August 14, 2019 by Carter Leave a Comment

Whether you want to add a personal stamp on a new place, or you want a fresh look to a dull room, home improvements can make a huge difference. This is especially true when you’re trying to sell or rent out your home.

A home appeal is a crucial element of both buying and selling your property when you want the job done quickly and efficiently. Even if you’re on a budget, home improvement can be done without hassle. Anyone looking at moving out of their property will want to know the best ways to improve their home appeal. Below is a list of four ways to do this; some of them require more money than others. Simply judge your situation before making any decision on what home improvements you’re going to do.

Upgrade to smart lighting

Lighting doesn’t have to cost the earth, and it can go a long way in terms of creating a sense of space. However, traditional lightbulbs can unnecessarily increase household bills and use up precious energy. If you want to impress your potential home buyer, upgrade to smart lighting.

Properties like those offered by RW Invest are fitted with smart lighting that turns on when you enter a room and turn off when you leave. This is not only helpful for those who forget to turn off lights, but it’s also a great way to help save the planet. Young people looking for houses and properties often explain how smart technology encourages them to further inquire about a place. This is because it shows the owner cares about helping our environment. Plus, smart lighting is more practical and can save money too, so it’s essentially a win-win scenario.

Tidy up any paintwork (exterior and interior)

A fresh coat of paint is a low-cost way to refresh any room. If you’re selling your home, the trick is to use neutral shades. This will maximise space and light, which allows potential buyers to imagine themselves living in that property. You can tidy up the paintwork on the interior and exterior of your home, wherever needs it most. Keep in mind, first impressions count. Therefore, ensuring the exterior of your home is modern and clean can make a huge difference.

Renovate kitchens and bathrooms

If you’re living in a property that is a few years old, you may want to think about renovating the kitchen or bathrooms. Interior design has changed a lot in the last 15/20 years so if your home is older than this and hasn’t had a spruce up since it was built, now is the time. People often think that renovating kitchens or bathrooms when you’re moving out is counterproductive. However, they couldn’t be any more wrong. Adding a modern kitchen with sleek cupboards and countertops can improve your property and even add more value to it as well.

Update door handles

Unsurprisingly, when buyers are searching for a property, even the small details make a difference. It may not be at the top of your priority list when you’re updating your home, but door handles can be a selling point. New door handles can add a new lease of life to any home or room. If you choose to do this, ensure the new knobs are equal to or larger than the ones they’re replacing as it will ensure you cover the footprints left behind by the old ones.
