Add Value to Your Home at Any Budget

Update Your Home and Add Value at Any Budget

Landscaping

Plant a Tree:

The single best investment when updating your landscaping is adding a tree. Mature trees can increase a property's value by as much as 20%.

Add Low Maintenance Beds:

If you've got additional funds, low maintenance landscape beds add instant curb appeal to your home. Make sure to clearly define the space with some type of border and replace mulch each year to keep them looking pristine.

Build a Deck/Pergola:

For those with extra money to spend, adding a deck, patio, or pergola to an existing patio is the way to go. Creating a beautiful outdoor space will pay off both by giving your family a place to enjoy the outdoors now and by netting you a healthy return later.

Kitchen

Replace Cabinet Hardware:

Simply updating kitchen hardware to reflect the current minimalist trend, such as simple, clean lines in matte black, can net a healthy return.

Paint Cabinets:

Homes with two-toned cabinets, white upper cabinets and dark or colored lower cabinets, netted sellers an average of $1500 in 2020. Consider this trend for a modern look.

Replace Countertops:

If you have outdated countertops, replacing them with a more on-trend material can provide an 80% return on investment.

Bathroom

Add a More Modern Faucet:

Replacing bathroom faucets can be a simple fix that will make your home look much more current.

Update Vanities:

If your bathroom looks dated, replacing the vanity can bring a fresh and stylish look. Consider repurposing furniture for a unique touch.

Replace Dated Tile:

Bathroom tile replacement can range from updating the shower tile to replacing all the flooring. Look into timeless options like white subway tile or bold mosaic patterns.

Window Treatments

Add Shades:

Install shades to maintain privacy. Top-down bottom-up shades or Roman shades are popular choices for 2021.

Outfit Windows with Faux Wood Blinds:

Faux wood blinds offer the clean-cut look of plantation shutters at a more affordable price. They are also less prone to warping.

Plantation Shutters:

Plantation shutters are popular for maintaining privacy while allowing in natural light. They also provide insulation and energy savings.

General

Touch Up Paint:

A fresh coat of paint instantly refreshes a room and gives your home an instant facelift.

Replace Lighting:

Update outdated or builder-grade lighting with on-trend fixtures, such as matte black pieces or modern minimalist glass designs.

Get New Carpet:

Replace worn-out carpet in high-traffic areas to improve the overall appearance of your home. Consider low-profile options for longevity.

Remember, these updates can add value to your home regardless of your budget. Choose the options that work best for you and enjoy the benefits of an updated and valuable property. If you are looking to upgrade the window treatments in your home, schedule a consultation today!
