DIY Touches That Add Value to Your Home

Creating a striking focal point in a room is a great way of highlighting the room and creating a new and exciting vibe within the house. From small spaces like a powder room to a larger area like a dining room, an accent wall can completely transform any area. Whether you paint, add wallpaper, use tiles, or install wood paneling, focusing on one wall not only helps create a balance within the room itself, creating an accent wall is an affordable and quick DIY touch.

If there’s one thing that can instantly upgrade a room, it’s molding. A feature commonly found in historic homes and luxury properties, molding can quickly change a drab room into a showpiece. Whether it’s upgrading your baseboards to a taller board, installing Crown Molding in a kitchen, adding a chair rail, picture rail or wainscoting to a dining room, or going above and beyond with an ornate trim, this DIY addition can help boost your home’s resale value and bring your property up a notch.

Lighting can make or break a room, especially in small rooms or rooms that don’t have a lot of natural light. Buyers will notice if your overhead lighting needs an upgrade; utilize the opportunity and put on your DIY gloves and get to work. New ceiling light covers are an affordable upgrade, and they can be changed to a modern style in a matter of minutes. If you really want to go above and beyond, you can switch out close to ceiling or flush mounts for track lighting or even a fan. New lighting changes a room and captures a buyer’s attention, and it’s a DIY project that is quick, easy and improves the overall resale value of your home.
