help! I advised one seller to turn an unfinished space into a walk- in closet in his master bedrooms, which would greatly enhance its appeal. If your rooms are already small, you might not want to take any square footage away from them. Existing closets can be updated with organizers to maximize the space at hand. "Staging" your closets by decluttering and minimizing the amount of stuff in them will maximize the look of the space. You can easily design your custom closet kit online with a storage solution company like ClosetMaid. • Your standard home superstore or hardware store often has exactly what you need in an inexpensive, prefabricated form. • Organizers won’t enlarge your closets, but maximizing vertical and horizontal space is a suitable alternative. And don’t stop there — after all, storage isn’t restricted to closets. Storage improvement opportunities apply to all cabinets, clothes closets, linen closets, attic, basement spaces and even the garage. Take a good look at your laundry room and linen closet. Adding extra shelving in these places can make a big impact. Look for any place you can provide attractive and inexpensive storage space. Make sure your improvements are tasteful, and you will benefit from increased storage solutions, such as adding matching wicker baskets which are also decorative. Updating your home with ROI in mind is the best approach when preparing your home for sale. Look over this recent list of what buyers want in a home. Compare it to what you have in yours, and upgrade accordingly, without surpassing the price line for comparable homes in your area.
