Timothy E. Lockhart - HOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT IMPROVE VALUES

has software that can be updated as newer features come on the market. Make sure to be careful if you plan to go all the way in making your home a “smart home” though, as many seemingly-reliable companies peddling such features have gone defunct, leaving the formerly-interconnected home features not only useless but vulnerable to security problems! Hardwood Flooring Hardwood flooring is a versatile component and an aid to selling your home. It matches with nearly any style, and also allows the potential home buyer to stain it with whatever color matches their current furniture. Stainless Steel Kitchens In almost perfect contrast to the white kitchens we discussed before, stainless steel can blend in with different colors to create a cohesive effect while still having the visual luxury of exposed metal. In addition, clean-up is much easier and stainless steel won’t rust over time, which is an attractive feature to home buyers. Don’t Forget the Ceiling While we cautioned homeowners to get rid of textured popcorn ceilings, to create a look of timeless elegance consider replacing them with planks or a grid-like coffered ceiling to give a room a fresh character. This is especially true for rooms like a den or a study. Crown Molding Crown molding creates an instantaneously elegant look throughout your home, even in small touches. It can create a centerpiece as a mantle for a fireplace or as little accents around your home, creating an attractive feel for potential home buyers.
