Enhancing your home’s value and your own comfort doesn’t have to involve extensive, expensive renovations. There are some simple ways you can boost your home’s value.

New coat of paint

One of the most inexpensive ways to improve your home’s value is with paint. Changing colors of a room to something more neutral can make it easier to sell your home and usually can be done for cheap compared to other upgrades. A new coat of paint also can enhance your comfort by making a dingy room livelier.

Spruce up your landscaping

Before people get to your front door, they will form a first impression based on what they see outside, and if they see a brown lawn, dead shrubs and untrimmed trees, it won’t be a good one. Studies show that what potential buyers want most in landscaping is trees, native plants and outdoor lighting. Taking the time to invest in those items will increase your value without breaking the bank.

New fixtures

Something as small and simple as a few new fixtures can greatly enhance your home’s comfort and value. If you have old light fixtures that don’t go with the home, swapping them out for new ones can make a big difference. The same goes for faucets.

A new door

Your front door is one of the first things visitors and potential buyers see, so if it is in bad shape, it can leave a poor first impression that can be hard to shake. If your entry door is in poor shape or is out of character from the rest of the house, replacing it can add value. You can find a variety of styles and materials at Arch Design.

Cabinet hardware

Changing or adding cabinet hardware may not sound like it would make much of a difference, but such a small thing can greatly enhance the look of your kitchen, which enhances value. And it’s something you can do yourself that won’t cost more than a few hundred dollars.

Carpet cleaning

If your carpet has been around awhile, it’s probably showing its age, so having it cleaned can make a big difference. Carpet cleaning only costs a few hundred dollars and can considerably enhance your home’s value and comfort.

These are just a few of the small things you can do to make your home more enjoyable and worth more in the eyes of potential buyers.
