Cheap and Quick Decorating Tips to Boost the Value of your Home

Everyone agrees that the housing market isn’t moving as quickly as it was a couple of years ago. If you want to give your house a little sales boost as it prepares to enter the market, you can stage your home for a quick sale by following these simple tips.

Walls and Floors The two best investments you can make prior to listing a home are flooring and paint. A fresh coat of paint in a fresh, neutral shade can boost a home’s attraction and price by quite a bit. Installing new carpet also gives buyers. An instant impression that the home is well-maintained and clean. Rooms such as bathrooms and kitchens can also benefit from laminate, new vinyl, and wood flooring.


Window and Lighting Treatments You can buy well-placed lamps and well-chosen window treatments to show your home off in its best light. Your home will appear larger, cleaner and brighter with more light. Sconces can brighten up a dim hallway or foyer, while boring windows can be dressed up with window treatments. Install outside lighting too, since many buyers check out homes for sale during evenings.
