Kitchen Tips
Ever experienced those thoughts running through your head that say, “Yes! This works for me!”, like when you’re walking through a show home? And do you know how many others have that same experience? Well, there’s an art involved and that’s the art of home staging. When you’re planning on listing your home for sale there are some basic “Do’s and Don’ts’” to help you along. Home Staging takes these tips to the next level. In order to realize the greatest profit when selling your home, it is really worth your while to invest in a few improvements. You may change your mind about selling and keep your home because you’ve fallen in love with the new look you’ve given it! Or you can stick to the first plan to boost the appeal of your home sweet home and get the most profit possible from your selling endeavor.
Take a look at your kitchen, for example. Is your kitchen crying for a colour makeover? There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to brighten the most popular room in the place. Today there are paint kits on the market where compatible hues are pre-mixed for you. And don’t just think walls: be brave and tie the cupboards into this new pallet too. Designers recommend replacing the hardware, that is knobs and drawer pulls, to give your kitchen an updated appeal. Ceramic tile flooring in beautiful tones will harmonize with your color scheme.
To help your kitchen appear more open and welcoming, really condense the clutter. The first thing you can do to make a noticeable difference is to clear the counter tops. Completely! Put your toaster on a cookie sheet and slide the whole thing into a cupboard under the counter. Place the scrub-pads, vegetable brushes, etc. from around your sink area, all into a plastic container and slide them under the kitchen sink. They’re ready for action but out of sight. White sinks? Fill them up with hot water and bleach, allow soak time, and voila! White sinks again.
The ideas are endless and you’ll probably discover your own creative ways to do things. Just keep in mind, “Less is More”! Give the potential buyers the opportunity to imagine cooking and dining in a clean, spacious, pleasant environment. Bon Appetit!
