What Home Improvements Increase Resale Value?

Upgrade and updates rank as one of the Top 8 critical factors that influence homebuyers. But where should you start? We continue the previous article’s discussion about home improvements that increase resale value below:

3) Living Room Appeal

There isn't much you can do to make your living room more functional, but there are a few things you can do to enhance its appeal. The best way to improve living room appeal is by painting the walls and changing up your furniture. You can update your furniture with pieces that match current trends or styles so it's less likely for buyers to overlook them.

If you want to make a dramatic change, consider adding accent lighting to your room. You'll find that LEDs are a great way to add some extra glam to your home. These lights are available in many different colors and they're also dimmable. It also comes in rechargeable battery-powered form! Instead of changing the color of your walls or painting them, these lights will provide a quick and easy way to transform the atmosphere of any room.

4) Bedroom Appeal

Like kitchens, bedrooms need to be given priority as well. The furniture and decor in your bedroom don't need to match or blend together, but they should at least look nice. You can make a bedroom more functional by adding a television, which is the best way to make your room appear more appealing. By investing in a large screen TV with smart features, you'll draw attention to your television instead of the room's furniture or décor. Smart TVs are also great for catching up on the latest shows or reading articles online.

However, if you don't have any furniture in your bedroom beyond a mattress and box spring set, you might choose to use floor lighting rather than wall lighting fixtures. Floor lighting provides a soft ambient light which is ideal for bedrooms. Dimmable LED lights are useful especially when you want to create a romantic mood.
