A universal value adding project is a fresh coat of paint. If you intend to sell your home within the next few years, I suggest going with neutral tones now so you don’t have to paint again before selling.
The list below breaks things down room by room so you can start in one space and move through your home in an organized way. Have fun giving each room a new look without breaking the bank.

Curb Appeal
The first impression is crucial when selling a home, so make sure the exterior of your home is in good condition. This can include simple tasks such as trimming bushes, mowing the lawn, and adding colourful plants or flowers.
Kitchen/Bathroom
Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most important areas for potential buyers. Simple updates such as new hardware, a fresh coat of paint, or new faucets can make a big difference without breaking the bank.
Lighting
Good lighting can make a home feel warm and inviting. Consider adding new light fixtures or replacing bulbs to brighten up dark spaces. Adding some table or floor lamps can also help create cozy ambiance.
Declutter and Clean
One of the most important things you can do to increase the value of your home is to declutter and clean it thoroughly. This can include deep cleaning carpets and floors, getting rid of excess clutter, and organizing storage spaces such as closets and cabinets. A clean and well-organized home can make a big difference in how it’s perceived by potential buyers.
