DIY Home Renovations for a Quick Sell

Are you ready to sell, but your home feels outdated and tired? "Renovation" is a scary word for most homeowners, so let's talk about some affordable, simple home-improvements that will get your house ready for the market, without the big budget and hired labour. 

Swap outdated fixtures 

Your home fixtures may seem like an insignificant detail to your decor, but replacing old cabinet hardware and light fixtures could be the lift your rooms need to make a modern and trendy statement. 

Not only is this an easy fix-up, but an inexpensive one, too. 

Freshen up your tiles and grout

You might not even have noticed that over the years your tile grout has become stained and worn. 

Re-grouting your tiles is a surprisingly easy do-it-yourself project to undertake. Get yourself a tile-refreshing kit, follow the directions, and your tiles will look as if they've just been put in.

Give it a coat of paint 

If it looks old and you can't replace it - paint it! 

If you're feeling bold, nothing makes a statement like an accent wall with a pop of colour! 

Whether it's your cupboards, cabinets, or a whole wall, a fresh coat of paint can work wonders when your rooms need an update. 

Pop in some floating shelves

Everyone has a corner or two that has no purpose at all. If you're styling your home to sell and have no idea what to do with that wasted space, why not pop in a couple of floating shelves? 

Shelving makes room for storage, new decor and some room-dimension. If you're even just a little bit handy with wood, you'll have no problem putting in this new feature. 

A full home renovation is not always worth what you'll get back once you've sold your home. However, a bit of TLC won't cost much, and will give your home the finish it needs to catch the eye of potential buyers.
