LIKE MOST OF US, WE GET SET IN OUR WAYS AND, JUST LIKE THAT THE NEW YEAR COMES AND NOT A SINGLE THING HAS CHANGED IN YOUR HOME. WHAT IF YOU COULD CHANGE A FEW THINGS AND GIVE A LITTLE MORE LIFE TO YOUR LIVING SPACE. STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT A POSITIVE LIVING SPACE CAN GREATLY IMPACT HOW YOU UNDERTAKE YOUR DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES AND THAT A CLEAN ENVIRONMENT CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE CLARITY OF MIND AND BOOST YOUR PRODUCTIVITY. WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW SOME SIMPLE CHANGES CAN IMPROVE THE STATE OF YOUR HOME AND POSSIBLY INCREASE IT’S MARKET VALUE AND GET A REAL RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT.

1. The Foyer

The Eyes are the windows to the soul, and we use those very eyes to cast impressions. This is why the first impression of your home needs to set the pace of what we see next. The entrance to your home is a key area and ideally the place where you and your family and friends converge upon arrival. Investing in a door, a beautiful tile and some good lighting can truly make this important space the amuse bouche for what will be seen in the rest of the house. The wow factor comes from the entrance.

2. The Garden

We are fortunate enough to live in a country where most of us can boast about yard space. An expanse of greenery is something that can mark up your property significantly. Be it landscaped or for small garden use, a big well-pruned garden is a game-changer for both buyers and sellers and is easy on the eyes. Take time this year to tend to your garden especially now that we have received generous rains, the bloom factor is something we can take advantage of.

4. A fresh Coat of Paint

A lick of paint can change a home from drab to fab. Paint can literally transform something old into something new. This is something simple that can whet the appetite of prospective buyers into actually making offers that are tangible on the first day.

3. Creating More Space

Space, space and even more space. This is a key concern amongst most buyers, will I have enough space? Decluttering the home has notable effects on the mind and the body. Simple organising can effectively rid your home of unwanted allergens and provide smart storage solutions that can see you living better. Adding free standing cupboards or a chest of drawers can be both aesthetically pleasing and provide a handy storage space in the more common areas of the house. The idea is to let the space convey just that, space.

5. Updating the Kitchen and Bathroom

Renovations are a mammoth task however, these expensive changes can spruce up your home and really add onto your Return On Investment. Moving the home forward must be done bearing in mind that a kitchen and a bathroom are essential areas of the home which are in use every day and gave a lot of value attached to them in terms of the building. Changing the toilets, bathtubs, countertops and sinks can absolutely aesthetically improve the home as well as have you live lavish.
