5 Must Read Budget Remodeling Tips Before Selling Your Home

People often try to increase the value of their home before a sale by investing their hard earned cash in elaborate and often expensive remodeling work. In some cases the investment might pay for itself, but in most cases the investment will not been justified. Remodeling your home is fantastic for adding value to your home. If you follow our tips below, you'll also discover it can be done on a small budget and in many cases as a do-it-yourself work.

Top Budget Remodeling Tips:

1. Modernise your lights - Often people don't connect the dots and miss the connection between great looking interior design and lights. For a small investment you can modernize any room by buying more modern lights. For a typical semi-detached home, you're looking at a few hundred dollars investment. Make sure you buy lights which fit onto your existing light fixtures, otherwise you might have to use an electrician which will increase the cost.

2. Paint your interior and exterior walls - Painting is a fantastic method to rejuvenate walls on a tight budget. Not only can you do-it-yourself, you can also do it in stages maybe after work over a week or so. For a typical semi-detached home you are likely looking at an investment of a few hundred dollars for paint, brushes and for a large roller telescopic pole (for painting outside the home).

3. Replace old furniture wisely - Furniture from years gone-by are still chic, but might cost less now. If a particular type of furniture, let's say a dinning table, from your favorite retailer's catalogue was nice last year, it is still nice now, but only cheaper. The trick is to find this new or almost new furniture. One way is to look at auction sites such as ebay, smaller general home decor sites and trade markets.

4. Update window treatments - Potential home buyers often look at the condition and look of the home's windows as an indication of your interior decoration taste. Simply switching your window treatments can modernise the look of any room. There are plenty of ideas which make fabulous money-saving ideas for window treatments, it's really down to your taste.

5. Decorate your walls - There's a catch 22 when it comes to decorating parts of your interior walls. Leaving your walls empty might look dull, but investing in pictures or paintings just before a sale is an expense you can do without. Another option is to use a type of removable wall stickers which you can apply onto and remove from the wall without causing damage.

When you look to remodel your home before a sale, always make changes which are cost effective, will appeal for a broader audience and are practical.

Examples:

1. Paint your walls in a light (preferably white) shade as it will allow potential buyers to easily 'imagine' how the home would look one day in their preferred wall colour.

2. If you decide to change the lights, make sure the new lights are fashionable but also practical.

3. In homes with wood flooring, the wood might look as if it needs to be replaced. Before you do so, try to sand and stain the floor which works marvels almost every time.
