unsightly or worn, it’s best to replace it. Put yourself in a buyer’s shoes. Your home will potentially be their new home. Old, worn- out fixtures are not going to speak to them the way nice, 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 them or sanding and painting them with spray paint made specifically for kitchen and bath hardware, making it cost- effective.
Check these hardware items closely and replace, 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 a wealth of do-it-yourself videos that can help you update your bath and kitchen if your budget is limited. Note, you should always consult your agent before doing any projects or making any purchases to ensure you won't be wasting your time and money (or making matters worse). If you have broken or worn-out hardware, it’s best to replace the entire set.
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.
