5 Top Tips for Enhancing Your Home Before You Sell

Paint Stripper Tools

Selling your home can feel like the end of an era, with lots of packing up to do, and re-organising of your life.

Whether you’re downsizing, upgrading, or moving locations, there’s plenty to do to get your new life started.

However, making some small but crucial changes to your abode before putting it on the market could help you to increase the value without breaking the bank.
If you want to enhance your home with ease, here are five top tips to get you started.

1. Give it a Lick of Paint

Re-painting your home is one of the easiest ways to give it a facelift before you move. Over time, paint can dull or suffer cosmetic wear and tear like cracks, chips and scuffs.

Whether you want to stay within the realms of your current colour scheme, or opt for something brand new, brands like Lick can supply you with peel and stick samples for your walls to help you complete your vision without leaving odd paint splodges across your rooms.

You could also opt for colourful patterned wallpaper instead to provide a splash of style, or a feature wall to provide a healthy balance of both – the choice is yours!

2. Decorate with Art

For creating a showhome effect, installing tasteful art on the walls is one of the best ways to curate a homely environment without enforcing too much personality on the space.

Whether you go for classic art, or something more contemporary, ordering prints from websites like Printed can help to boost the decor of your home immeasurably.

3. Boost Kerb Appeal

The outside of your house is just as important as the inside, and will greatly influence prospective buyers to view your abode.

Some subtle changes like replacing the front door, windows or rendering any uneven brickwork will help to add value to your home significantly, and you may get away with bumping the asking price a little further upwards.

You can also make the most of your outdoor space by planting flowers, trees or using hanging baskets from garden centres like Dobbies to add a colourful aesthetic to your garden or driveway.

4. Insulate Your Home

Insulating your home is one of the most underrated ways to increase your property value. Everyone wants to save money on their energy bills, so making sure that your home is stacked up with insulation is a great investment.

Retailers like Tradestore are committed to providing high quality solutions to your insulation needs with a stock of insulation slabs, and aluminium insulation foil to name just a few options.

Whatever your insulation needs are, Tradestore will be happy to help with all your queries.

5. Add Homey Touches

Although you want to leave your home as a relatively blank canvas for your prospective buyers, injecting some homey touches into your home is a great way to sell the property to potential buyers.

By adding comfortable furniture, bookshelves, and refreshing smells such as cotton or fresh flowers through candles and diffusers, it’s easier than ever to curate a home that anyone would want to live in!
