Affordable Updates to Enhance the Look of Your Home...
M. Lee Raia, Owner, Real Estate Styling®, LLC, Baltimore, MD, offers the
following suggestions for simple, affordable updates to enhance the look
of your home’s interior and exterior:
1) To add value and style to your home's interior:
Consider updating your home's hardware and lighting for a fresh new
look. Options include oil-rubbed bronze, copper or brushed nickel, as
the newest/best-selling finishes. The project can be handled as one or
broken down into several smaller projects. Areas to consider include
kitchen cabinetry, bathroom fixtures, as well as, door knobs and
lighting throughout the home.
2) To add interest and curb appeal to your home's exterior:
Enhance your home's appearance via exterior lighting. One can create
visual interest by highlighting porches, walkways and landscaping using
a coordinated mix of fixtures and techniques. A first step can be as
simple as spotlighting a single tree.
3) And finally, the number one option for improving your home on a
budget is Paint:
Two fresh coats of a quality paint create the backdrop for everything
else that goes into the home. If one is considering selling in the near
future, a carefully chosen neutral would be the marketable choice. When
using a neutral, the key is to select a shade that both coordinates with
and enhances your home's flooring and cabinetry.
