While a home renovation can increase the value of your house, there are many simpler ways you can improve your home without breaking the bank. Simple projects like painting your walls, replacing broken and damaged bulbs, and restoring some features of your home won’t cost you too much money and can add more value to your house.

With a well-kept home, you can list your home for sale, and if you’re not ready to sell your home, you get to enjoy a better-looking and comfortable place to live. So here are simple and inexpensive home improvements to consider.

 

Freshen up your walls. 

Well-maintained walls add more beauty to the overall appearance of your house. If your walls have dirt stains, scratches and outdated colors, then it is high time to get them repainted. You don’t have to spend too much on painting. To make sure you’re maximizing your home’s value, you should settle for neutral colors, as this helps unify the theme of your home and makes your space look a lot bigger. Simple and neutral colors tend to appeal to more buyers. 

 

Update the fixtures in your home. 

You may want to go all in on your home improvement project, but simple areas like window covers and curtain rods are often overlooked. If these areas are boring, switching them up for attractive models is an effective way of increasing your home value. Modern home fixtures tend to be a little bit more expensive, but you can always settle for the inexpensive models and set up your home in an elegant way. Again, just like painting, if you plan to resell in the future, you should use neutral colors as this tends to appeal to a broader audience. 

 

Restore hardwood floors. 

If you have an old home, you probably have hardwood floors. Squeaky floor sounds are a sign that you have wood floors. One great trick to keep them looking new is to restore them to their original state, which Is much cheaper than installing new flooring. 

 

Restore house windows. 

Old and damaged windowpanes don’t add much value to your home. During home improvement, you should consider restoring them. Restoring your windowpanes is much more affordable than replacing the entire window. 

 

Improve your home theme. 

Your home’s color theme can ultimately improve the value of your home. Try adding hints of color to your home to make it look new and modern. 

 

Improve the bedroom floor. 

Do-it-yourself floor installation can save you a lot of money if you plan on improving your bedroom floor. If you are unsure how to proceed, there are numerous videos, posts, and classes on home improvement that you can learn from. Saving money on physical labor will give you more room to go for the flooring of your choice. 

As I mentioned earlier, you should always go for neutral colors, as this would give you the best value for your home.
