5 Aesthetic Upgrades That Increase Your Home’s Value

Sell your home for more with five modern and aesthetic home upgrades.

If you’re selling your home and looking for easy and doable ways to maximize your property’s sales, you’ll be happy knowing that there are small, simple, and affordable adjustments that you can make to give your home a modern makeover that will significantly increase your home’s appeal and value. Here are five home revamps that will guarantee the highest return on your investment:

1. Fresh paint. Exterior painting, including accents, can dramatically transform your home's appearance. A fresh coat of paint on the exterior or on key accents can modernize its look. Since the exterior is the first thing people see, adding some changes to match current home aesthetic trends will significantly increase your home’s appeal. 

2. Add dramatic lighting. Another way to give your home a modern look is to add good lighting. Installing lighting from the ground up will light up your property beautifully, especially at night. Having great lighting to go with fresh exterior paint is an excellent way to give your home a modern makeover. 

3. Add more flowers to the garden. To add more color and life to your home, consider adding flowers to your garden. For a livelier effect, add flowers in different colors. At the same time, make sure that you trim the lawn and ensure your garden looks well-maintained, as if this were done by a professional. This is a great way to increase your home’s attractiveness and value without breaking the bank.

4. Refinish hardwood floors. Most home sellers tend to overlook the floors, but bringing back the shine to your hardwood floors actually makes a great impact on your home’s overall aesthetics. So, take some time to look into the current color trends in the market and refinish your floors to match that. 

5. Revamp your kitchen. Lastly, give your kitchen a quick makeover by simply refinishing the cabinets. If you have light maple or cherry cabinets, refinishing them in a modern color can make a big difference, and it doesn’t have to be expensive at all. You should also consider changing the countertops for a newer, more modern look.
