Now that the weather is getting cooler, and we are spending more time in our homes, it may be more noticeable than ever that your home needs a refresh. Especially if you’re thinking of selling.
⓵ Replace any brass fixtures and old hardware with brushed nickel, gold, or black matte — think old, dated door knobs and kitchen and bath hardware.
⓶ Add white or neutral bedding with more pillows.
Give your bedrooms a facelift, and create a more inviting space. People associate white with cleanness, and it can also help brighten up a space and make it feel larger. The same goes for the bathroom — add fluffy white towels and a white or neutral shower curtain to give your bathroom a spa-like feel.
⓷ Update your window treatments. If you have old and heavy drapes, toss them for something more modern and breezy. The more light, the better. This will brighten up your space and make it feel larger and more inviting.
⓸ Replace old area rugs. Buy rugs that fit your space and furniture. The right-sized rug in a complementary style to the room will make the space feel larger. Replacing a dated rug with a fresh, neutral one can immediately change a space.
⓹ Replace dated light fixtures with something more modern. Old brass or chrome ceiling lights or chandeliers can instantly make a home feel older. This is a small change that can make a big impact.
Don’t forget to also deep clean, depersonalize, and declutter your home before putting it on the market. If you’re selling and want some more tips on how to make your home stand out and sell quickly, I’d love to help!
