Whether you’re planning to sell in the near future or you simply want to update your living space, check out these top tips to improve, beautify and add value to your home no matter what your budget.
4 Ways to improve your interior design
1. Visually increase square footage
Yes, your home’s size affects its value, but square footage isn’t the only space that matters. How large your home feels – or visual space – also counts. Make each room feel larger by clearing the clutter, adding a single large mirror to visually double the space or replacing heavy closed draperies with shutters or vertical blinds to let more light in – a sunny room is more open and feels larger.
2. Paint, paint and paint some
One of the most cost-effective, simplest improvements is paint. Freshly painted rooms appear updated and clean – and that spells value to potential homebuyers. When choosing colors, remember that neutrals appeal to most people and will make your home more desirable.
3. Keep rooms flexible
If your home has a unique specialty room, don’t give it up, but hold back a little on the decorating. If you’re planning to sell your home, too much customization can be a problem, so try not to overdo it. Plenty of windows, wiring for DSL, phone, and cable and hardwood floors are excellent ways to customize the room without sacrificing versatility. Consider making the space one that can easily be converted into a den, family room, studio or guest suite.
4. Revive the kitchen
Remove the rooster wallpaper and opt for neutral paint. More homebuyers are expecting standard items in kitchens – things like stainless-steel hardware and appliances. Throw in modern lighting fixtures, and you’ve got an updated, great-looking space. Bottom line: Kitchens sell homes, so make sure you invest in an improvement.
