Remodeling Ideas For National Kitchen & Bath Month!
October is National Kitchen and Bath month, which makes it a great time to update and remodel these two areas in your home. Whether it's a small update or a complete remodel, having your kitchen or bath done could make the difference in getting your home sold quickly. Your trusted Lake of the Ozarks real estate agent offers tips for remodeling these rooms:
Kitchen Update & Remodel Tips
- When remodeling your home, try to avoid extremes. If you know you are going to sell your home soon, try and play it safe when picking out color schemes and cabinetry.
- Add granite. Buyers prefer seeing granite in the kitchen over the other options. If you decide to add in quartz, choose a pattern that looks like granite.
- Add in a wow factor. Buyers like to have convenience items in the kitchen, whether that be extra drawers or under the cabinet light fixtures.
- Update the cabinet hardware. This is an easy update that will make a difference in your kitchen. Sleek new drawer handles will make your kitchen look updated.
- If buying new appliances, go for stainless steel. Many young buyers prefer stainless steel over other colors. Stainless steel is very versatile and goes well with many colors, so if your buyer wants to remodel the kitchen on their own, the stainless steel appliances would go well with whatever look they choose.
- Updating the lighting in the kitchen and an easy and relatively cheap way to make your kitchen look more updated. Although it would be easy for the buyer to change out the ceiling fan or light fixture in the kitchen, it would be one less thing they would have to worry about after purchasing your home.
Bathroom Updates & Remodeling Tips
- Changing out the faucets is the first thing you should consider doing when updating the bathroom to sell your home. If you live in an area with hard water, those water spots are hard to get rid of, so if you replace the faucets, it will not only make the bathroom look more updated, but it will also make it look clean.
- Update light fixtures and add LED bulbs. Just like in the kitchen, when you update the light fixtures, it makes the room look clean and fresh. Adding LED bulbs in the bathroom will help cool the room down.
- If your bathroom has a shower curtain, consider replacing it. Having a dirty shower door is off-putting to potential home buyers. So having a used shower curtain will have the same effect.
- The towel bar is an easy thing to update that can bring the room together. When adding or replacing the towel bar, make sure you pick one that goes with the faucet, so if you have a stainless steel faucet, pick a stainless steel bar.
