It’s easy to improve the value of your home yourself, without large-scale, expensive projects or contractors. There are certain items that draw a lot of attention in your home that can be made over with a few simple tricks. Add one or two of these ideas to your to-do list.
Fireplace
If presented properly, a fireplace can be a stunning statement piece in your home. Especially in a cold state like Wisconsin, most buyers are looking for functional fireplaces, as well. Make sure you have it cleaned out and up to date. Switch to gas if you don’t want to deal with wood burning. You can update the look by changing the fireplace surrounds Milwaukee. Find some sleek tile and keep it simple or create a pattern.
Cabinets
You don’t need to rip apart your kitchen to make a complete transformation. These days light, airy kitchens are very popular, sometimes with bold splashes of color. All you need is a screwdriver and some paint to make it happen. You can take the doors off of your cabinets and paint them to whatever color you want. You can also change the pulls and knobs for added detail. Your kitchen will look completely different, and you won’t be wasting perfectly good cabinets.
Lighting
Sometimes all a place needs is adequate lighting to make it more appealing. Consider switching to recessed lighting and using LED bulbs. Add lighting underneath your cabinets or inside drawers to really wow people with a futuristic vibe. Find a statement chandelier or fixture to put above your dining room table. Find lamps that double as light sources and art. Change your curtains or install updated blinds to optimize your natural light.
It’s well within your reach to upgrade your home to keep up with the latest trends. You don’t need a demolition team or a huge renovation budget. If the bones of your home are good, the possibilities are endless for updating your style.
