You’ve taken all our advice and done the simple fixes to update your kitchen and still get a good amount of money back. Yet, it still needs something. Time to get a little creative. Do you have empty wall space? Put up some open shelving. It is low cost, leaves the space feeling more open than if you installed cabinets, and can turn your normal-use dishes into a display piece while also allowing buyers to project their own tastes — their dishes, their favorite ingredients, their art. What about the ceiling? If it is tall enough or if there is space in an area where no one will walk directly under it, you can put in a ceiling rack for storing pots and pans. This creates an interesting atmosphere and lets you see what you need without having to rummage through a stuffed drawer. Is there a lot of open floor space? If so, you can install a separate island. A simple countertop with some additional drawers for storage will do a lot to improve both the efficiency and look of your kitchen. As with many projects, less is more when talking about a kitchen remodel. Especially if you are selling soon, spend as little as possible to refresh your kitchen and give it a contemporary feel. Keeping it simple will not only save you money, but will help you get on the market faster so you get on with the business of searching for your new home rather than getting bogged down selling your old one.
