Budget Friendly Home Renovations That Add Value
It's always a good idea to renovate some spaces in your home if you're looking to sell! However, this doesn't mean you have to budget for a $25k major kitchen renovation! You may be surprised to see how some smaller, budget friendly renovations or upgrades can add instant value to your home!
We've compiled a list of 6 ways you can upgrade your home at a reasonable price for instant added value!
1. Replace Light Fixtures: Replacing light fixtures can be incredibly easy, affordable, and they can make a HUGE difference! It's a good idea to see what your local stores have in stock, or check online for an even wider variety of fixtures and prices! Some of our favorites are Ikea and Amazon for great deals!
2. Get Rid of Builder Grade Mirrors: Whether you choose to frame them, or completely replace them, this adds value! You'll want to find mirrors that change the visual appeal, and fit nicely with the overall feel of the home.
3. Change Hardware: Changing doorknobs and cabinet pulls/knobs are a very inexpensive way to add value to your kitchen and bathroom! Whether you want to completely change the color and style, or just go with a new design, this is one of the easiest and least expensive ways you can add value to your home!
4. Replace Pedestal Sinks: Getting rid of a pedestal sink and adding a vanity is a great way to add value. People want storage in bathrooms, even in half baths. By adding a vanity, you're providing storage and more counter space! Don't be afraid to check clearance to possibly find a steal on a vanity!
5. Replace Light Switch and Outlet Covers: Replace all light switches and outlet covers with new crisp white covers! Make sure all HVAC vent covers match as well! This gives the home a new feel, and it's an added touch for less than $100!
6. Upgrade Baseboards: While this could be a little time consuming, replacing baseboards is a great way to add value and upgrade the entire look of the room. You can choose a baseboard with a specific size, width, or design!
You don't have to spend thousands of dollars in renovations and upgrades to add value to your home!
