It is not always necessary that you have to spend a fortune to upgrade your home. One thing homeowners often think only large-scale renovations can really improve the value of a property. As it turns out, even just a few low-cost upgrades can help you dramatically increase your property’s appeal and value on the open market. If you are trying to sell or are simply ready to love where you live with little cost. These wallet-friendly upgrades will help.
Fresh Coat of Paint
Applying a fresh coat of paint to your home is one of the most effective ways to breathe new life into it. An easy way to instantly update your surroundings and do so without breaking the bank. Consider choosing a neutral color palette for a wide range of buyers, such as warm beiges, and clean whites. Not only do these colors make spaces seem bigger and more open. They also create a blank canvas for buyers to visualize their belongings in every room.
You may also want to consider a particular finish when selecting paint. Matte finishes are perfect for hiding imperfections on walls without reflecting light. Use this instead for trim and doors, these finishes reflect light and add a touch of elegance. Also, you cannot ignore the outside of your house. A fresh coat of paint on the front door is an inviting first impression and can increase the curb appeal.
So, painting is not only aesthetic but it also can prevent the wall from becoming dilapidated, from humidity or any type of fungi or rust. This will ensure your home lasts longer and remains looking awesome, a good investment. A room painting generally ranges between $200-$600 on average depending upon the size and condition of the walls. Depending on the size of your home, materials, and other factors. Painting the outside of it can set you back at least $1,000 (and upwards of $3,000). Even though paint is relatively cheap, it can yield an ROI of up to 107%! making it one of the most cost-effective remodeling projects you can do.
Upgrade Bathroom Fixtures
One relatively inexpensive way to increase the value of your home is to improve upon your bathroom fixtures. Changing older faucets, showerheads, and light fixtures with more modern ones. It can dramatically improve the functionality (and appearance) of your bathroom on a strict budget. Opt for modern, water and energy-efficient fittings which have the advantage of looking sleek. Will help you cut down on water and electricity bills too.
For instance, you might install a high-efficiency showerhead and faucet. Where every drop of water counts but does not compromise performance. Improved lighting can also be a game-changer. Choose good lighting fixtures that will lighten up the place and add a dash of class. Simple updates like a new mirror, modern cabinet hardware, and a refreshed faucet can make a big difference.
This can be a fairly inexpensive project, with bathroom fixtures upgrades running anywhere from $200 to $1,000. Updating a bathroom can yield an ROI of almost 70% – not a bad return, either. Fact is, it will not only make your bathroom more pleasant, but it will add to your new home value.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing
Similar to the transformation in your bathroom, the easiest cheapest upgrade for your kitchen is countertop and kitchen cabinet resurfacing. Rather than tearing out your old cabinets (they cost a fortune to replace). Save yourself some cash and simply readjust the hinges and finish them with an updated color. Instead, it involves removing the doors and drawer fronts over the top of the existing cabinet framework and replacing them with new drawer fronts and doors. It is an excellent way to update your kitchen, without paying for a full remodel.
Selecting new doors and drawer fronts that complement your preferred design can provide your kitchen with a large facelift. Whether you like something for a contemporary place or a more appealing classic house, there are tons to pick from. You can also replace the hardware, such as handles and knobs, to complete the new look.
Kitchen cabinet refacing will typically cost anywhere between $1,000 and $3,000, although this depends on the size of your kitchen and the materials you choose. This is a mere shadow of the tens of thousands of dollars you would pay for a completely new kitchen. In addition, a minor kitchen remodel like cabinet refacing also sees an ROI of 80% to 90%, so it is a wise housing investment.
