by Britt McLaughlin

Are you looking to increase the value of your home? Whether you're preparing to sell your home or just want to make some upgrades, there are a number of projects you can undertake that will boost your home's value. Here are seven projects you can consider that are sure to impress potential buyers and increase your home's value.

Add a Centrally Located Half Bathroom

Adding a half bathroom to your home can make a big difference in its value. Potential buyers will appreciate the convenience of having an extra bathroom in the home. A half bathroom located in a central location, such as near the living room, kitchen, or in the finished basement is a particularly good choice. You don't need a lot of space to add a half bathroom, either. A small closet or even a corner of a room can be converted into a bathroom with the right planning and design.

Fresh Paint and Accent Walls

Painting the interior of your home is a simple and cost-effective way to make it look fresh and new. Choose a neutral color scheme to appeal to a wide range of potential buyers, or consider adding an accent wall to make a statement. Accent walls can be painted in a bold color or even a wallpaper pattern to add interest and dimension to a room.

Replace Hardware and Light Fixtures

Old hardware and light fixtures can make a home look dated and unappealing. Upgrading to modern fixtures is a quick and easy way to give your home a new look. Choose fixtures that complement the style of your home, whether it's modern, traditional, or somewhere in between. Don't forget to replace outdated ceiling fans as well.

New Kitchen Counters and Cabinets

The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the home when it comes to increasing value. Upgrading your kitchen with new counters and cabinets can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your home. Consider quartz or granite countertops for a sleek, modern look. Add new cabinets or upgrade existing ones with new hardware and finishes.

Finish the Basement

If you have an unfinished basement, finishing it can be a great way to add value to your home. A finished basement can serve as a family room, game room, or even an extra bedroom. Make sure to include plenty of lighting and consider adding a wet bar or small kitchenette for added convenience.

New Bathroom Tile and Vanities

The bathroom is another important room in the home. Upgrading your bathroom with new tile, vanities, and fixtures can make a big difference in how buyers perceive your home. Consider a new glass shower enclosure or a freestanding bathtub for added luxury.

Add Functional Storage

Finally, adding functional storage throughout your home can make it more appealing to potential buyers. Consider adding built-in shelving or custom closets to bedrooms and other living spaces. You can also add storage solutions in the garage, basement, and even outside with a shed or storage box.

In conclusion, these seven projects are sure to increase your home's value and appeal to potential buyers. Whether you're preparing to sell your home or just want to make some upgrades, these projects are a great place to start.
