out fixtures will not speak to them the way excellent, new, shiny hardware will. Unless your knobs, pulls, handles, or hinges are broken, you need not replace them. Get that fresh look simply by thoroughly washing, sanding, and painting them with spray paint for kitchen and bath hardware, making them cost-effective.
Check these hardware items closely and replace them as needed:
• Towel bars • Toilet paper holder • Door handles • Dated light fixtures
The goal is to touch up your home nicely without excessive spending. The internet has many do-it-yourself videos that can help you update your bath and kitchen if your budget is limited. Replacing the entire set is best if you have broken or worn-out hardware. If you can find matching pieces, you can paint the old and new to check.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Whether natural or artificial, bringing in light is one of the most effective ways to show off your home. Using light to enhance your home’s appeal can make a difference. Harsh light is unflattering, even to the best furnishings and features. Dim lighting gives everything in the house a dingy feel. Assessing the lighting in each area of your home will give you a quick idea of where to bring in more light. Rooms with abundant windows greatly benefit from natural light, as your home will be seen during the day.
