Better home DIY
General January 11th, 2010
Having recently thinking about selling my house and as with a lot of subjects like this have been attempting to work out what the best way to make the house really attractive before we either sell our house or stay in it for a while longer. I started by looking at different rooms in the house and thinking about what I could do to better them and remove any issues I might have had about them.
The heart of my house is the kitchen so I started their looking at the kitchen layout, we have a fitted kitchen which is quite east to use with a useful work triangle (fortunately I talked to a local kitchen business about kitchen planning ahead of buying). The floor was a bit of an issue with only lino down which had got a little chewed up as I had shoved washing machines and fridges about in it. I got some tiling advice from a local business to get the floor tiles that would blend in with the fitted kitchen ensuring that the room didn’t look to dark (just a few of the little things you need to think about when you want to sell your house, first impressions need to be just right within the small window somebody has to view your house).
The next room I wanted to ensure was up to scratch was the bathroom, my bathroom layout was a bit cramped due to some fitted cupboards which once removed gave me masses more room (which if you are going on first impressions could help sell my house). Once again I popped down to the local tiler for some useful tiling advice and used big light tiles which seemed to open the space in the room, just one of the many things to be considering when buying bathroom tiles.
I then went through the house and decorated with a neutral light colour which drew the rooms out and gave the whole house a fresh look. I then took out as much clutter as I could and boxed everything that wasn’t essential away in the garage. Finished result, a house that I wanted to remain in, but after just one or two viewings brought to me from an online property site I have got some serious interest, so fingers crossed ill be able to sell my house soon.
