Fix Any Structural Damages

The first and foremost thing to do is to fix if there are any structural damages like a broken window, a worn-out deck, damaged paint, broken ceiling, etc. You also need to pay attention to the basement and see if there is a damp ceiling or walls. You need to fix these structural damages before making further changes like before upgrading the rest of the house. This is because even if you buy expensive tables and chandeliers for your home, a little crack on the wall will always make it look worse. Pay more attention to the following areas.

  • A damp area
  • Broken ceiling tiles
  • A leaking faucet
  • Cracks on the walls or on floors
  • Broken chimney stack
  • Areas with growing mold and mildew
  • Insect infestation
  • Broken switches

Renovate Your Bathroom

You may not be familiar with the importance of bathroom maintenance and how they can escalate the value of your property but upgrading the bathroom can increase the property’s value by no less than $20,000. Now it does not mean that you have to completely demolish everything and start from scratch. In fact, you can do this by making small improvements and replacing just a few things in your bathroom. Following are some recommended ways by bathroom inspector to renovate your toilet without spending much time and money.

  • Replace your sink with a vanity. Having a sink in your bathroom has become so outdated. Nowadays people prefer some extra storage space around the sink to keep their bathrooms a bit more organized. This is where the concept of vanity comes into mind. In addition, it gives a fancy look to your bathroom.
  • If you want to sell your house at a good price then make sure to upgrade its bathroom by replacing the old toilet with a new one. Continuous use of toilet results in hard water stains. These stains will definitely decrease the worth of your bathroom. So replace it with a brand new toilet and try choosing a modern one with a small seat and a hidden drainage pipe.
  • Replace your old mirror with a brand new one. The dark spots on your old mirrors will definitely leave a bad impression on your property dealer and buyer. If you are purchasing a new mirror make sure it is wide so to give a more stylish look to your old bathroom. If you do not want to buy a new mirror try re-silvering your old mirror.
  • Replace old faucets and taps with new ones.

An Open Plan Kitchen

Normally in our homes, kitchens are designed according to the old designs and architectures. So mostly we have closed kitchen in our homes. These kitchens have their own pros and cons but if you want to sell your house at a good price, then you should upgrade your closed kitchen plan to a more convenient open kitchen plan. Hence, you do not need to ignore your guests while cooking in the kitchen for long hours. In addition, these kitchens are more airy and wider with fewer walls and it’s easier to serve your guests in an open kitchen plan.

Adding Beauty by Decoration

After you are done with fixing all the damages and replacing all the old parts in your house, the next tip to increase your house value is by adding valuable decoration products like the ones given below.

  • Start with your living room and make it a center of attention by adding a large painting or art piece.
  • You can also add a little chandelier or an elegant rug to compliment your living room.
  • Place little indoor potted plants or vine plants in your bathrooms and living rooms or you can also hang them from the ceiling and walls.
  • Hang decently patterned and sheer curtains on windows to enhance and improve the aesthetics of your home. Make sure to choose colors that go well with the paint color. You can also add beautiful shower curtains in your bathrooms.

Additional Tricks

You can also spend a good amount of money to get a better price for your house like by updating the old heating system with a new and improved smart heating system. Another way is by building a driveway to park cars. Also, try to upgrade your garden and make your house even more presentable. The last but not the least trick is to utilize all the available space by adding another bedroom and bathroom to your home.
