DIYs that can increase the value of your home

Every home once in a while has to go through some improvisations to increase the value of the house. It is more so if you are looking to rent or sell your property. Some physical changes and improvements can add to the appeal of your house and make it look more attractive. A fresh coat of paint, some new wood work inclusions etc. can be a good start to home improvisations. But if you are looking to do some value additions without spending much, you can try some of the DIYs listed below.

To make a house look more elegant and bright, light color drapes paired with white upholstery and white based furniture pieces are the key. So you can start off by changing the curtains. De-stain any old wooden pieces and re-stain them according to the color tone of the room. Few other economic changes would be to either steam vacuum the carpets or change over the carpets to lighter shades. Lighter shades of carpet make the house look big and elegant. Symmetrical patterns on the back-splash of the kitchen counter, stairway railing and verandah railing will make the house look organized and high fashioned. Keeping the kitchen counter top clear of unwanted items will make the counter seem big and attractive.

Bedrooms are the biggest appealing points when considering a home. Big beds with neatly laid white and fresh linens are biggest attractions. Symmetrical arrangements of the bed with side tables and other furniture pieces in the room gives the room a sense of space. At the same time, one must make sure that bedrooms are free from Mosquitoes and flies. That can be a real turn off for potential buyers or renters. There are variety of options such as Mosquito Net, Mosquito Killer Machine, Mosquito Repellent that can be used to eliminate mosquitoes from the bedrooms. Similarly white sheer curtains and drapes make the room seem brighter. You can customize the door and cupboard knobs by painting them all in a same tone of metallic shade. These metallic shades make the home appear custom made and add value to the property. Landscaping in the backyard or merely adding some greenery to your terrace garden will show detailed touch in the house. Every buyer or renter want to see a personalized touch in the house they are looking. Creating a specific purpose for each space in the house will show how each space can be efficiently utilized. Even if it is not utilized the same way as yours, it throws opportunities and ideas for much more use to the space.

Use of energy efficient fixtures and appliances adds as a huge advantage when trying to put the house on the market. Energy efficient incandescent light bulbs, power saving smaller appliances will be looked up as a huge saving on a long run. Adding additional storage outside of the house in the garage will also be considered a value addition. Leaving these additional storage half empty will make the storage space seem more and will help the buyer visualize how much the storage space can accommodate. Every home improvement once started must be completed to satisfaction. Refrain from taking bigger home renovation projects if the deadline seems too tight. Or hire a professional Home Renovation company which can provide you end-to-end solutions including modular kitchen, wood work, steel or iron doors, electric & bath fittings, flooring, walls, interiors, and exteriors. Consider the use of the particular update or renovation in the long run and foresee how it will add value to the house before implementing any changes to your home.
