Paint With Purpose
Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to breathe new life into a home. Neutral tones like soft gray, greige, or warm white create a blank canvas that appeals to a broad range of buyers. For accent walls or small powder rooms, consider richer tones— navy, forest green, or charcoal— for a touch of drama without overwhelming the space.
Upgrade Fixtures and Finishes
Think faucets, door handles, towel bars, switch plates, and outlet covers. These small elements often go unnoticed when they’re in good shape— but when they’re scratched, dated, or mismatched, they stand out in the wrong way. Coordinating your finishes (think matte black in the bathroom or satin nickel throughout the kitchen) creates a cohesive, designer-like impression.
