The goal is to touch up your home nicely without excessive spending. The Internet has a wealth of do-it-yourself videos that can help you update your bath and kitchen if your budget is limited. If you have broken or worn- out hardware, it’s best to replace the entire set. If you can find matching pieces, you can paint the old and new to match. LET THERE BE LIGHT Whether natural or artificial, bringing in light is one of the most effective ways to show off your home.

KITCHEN AND BATHUPDATES • Replace the toilet seat. • Repair the grout in tile backsplashes, floors, and tub surrounds. • Refurbish tired- looking cabinets with fresh paint or finish. • Replace a dated bathroom sink with a pedestal variety or cabinet sink.

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 where to bring inmore light. Rooms with abundant windows greatly benefit fromnatural light, as your home will be seen during the day. Supplemental light is necessary for rooms with smaller windows or little natural light coming in. Increase the wattage of light bulbs in your lamps to improve artificial light. As a rule of thumb, there should be 100 watts for each 50 square feet of space. There are three kinds of lighting. General lighting or overhead is typically ambient. The pendant light is good for tasks like food preparation or reading. Accent lights are usually on tables or mounted on walls. You can use all three to bring out the best your home has to offer.
