Read on for some specific tips on improving your kitchen and bathroom. Hardware replacement. First, inspect your kitchen and bathroom hardware. Put yourself in a critical buyer’s shoes. Old, worn-out fixtures are not going to speak to them the way nice, new shiny hardware will. If knobs, pulls, handles, hinges, etc., are broken down, worn out, or quite unappealing, it’s best to replace them. Check these specific hardware items closely and replace them, as needed:
• toilet paper holder • door handles • towel bars and racks • dated light fixtures
Cost-effective updates. If your kitchen and bathroom hardware items are functioning well, you can still give them a nice fresh look by thoroughly washing, sanding, and painting them with kitchen/bathroom spray paint, which is more cost-effective.
Here are some other inexpensive ways to update these rooms:
• Replace the toilet seats. This is a quick, easy, and cheap way to spruce up your bathrooms. • Replace an outdated bathroom sink with an updated pedestal sink. • Refurbish old, worn-out cabinets with fresh paint or a nice finish. • Repair the grout in tile backsplashes, floors, and tub surrounds. • Add a new backsplash in your kitchen.
