Getting top-dollar for your home in today’s housing market doesn’t have to be something which empties your wallet or zaps your vigilantly saved spare time. Often times, a fresh can of paint mixes with a little carefully placed sweat equity can go a long way, so look at starting with something easy like the kitchen cabinets.
In the grand scheme of things, the kitchen is the most important room to get right and cabinets play a huge role; however, you don’t have to have them replaced to give the entire room a more updated, clean feeling.
Neutral colors or white with an even coat of finish often look best, but even mocha or black will help provide a more polished look. Plus, when you’re done painting, feel free to spring for some updated hardware to tie everything together because, while small, it’s an accent that people will surely notice. Look for pieces that are simple and some sort of brushed nickel, since anything too decorative or brightly colored may not suit some of your potential buyers. Remember, when marketing to a large audience, neutrality is often key, especially done with a little bit of ingenuity and taste.
