You don’t have to break the bank in order to freshen up your property, there are many ways to make small changes to a property to get that Instagram-looking home!
Here are five handy tips that can help modernise your home.
1. A Lick Of Paint And A Splash Of Colour
It goes without saying that a fresh lick of paint can have huge aesthetical impacts. Painting your walls white, or another neutral colour can give potential buyers a blank canvas to imagine how the home will look with their décor up – or how it will look once they have decorated. While you are taking the time to paint your walls white, it would be worth touching up doors, window sills and skirting boards as these can make a difference too. Once you have a blank canvas you can then add pops of colour with accessories like throws, cushions and artwork.
2. Upgrade The Kitchen
Updating cabinet handles, or repainting units can give kitchens a whole new lease of life. Make sure you do your prep work as having a nice finish is important! Different door and drawer materials require slightly different treatment. So, check what your kitchen cabinets are made from before you begin the transformation project.
3. Deep Clean The Bathroom
Give your bathroom tiles, grout, and fixtures like taps and radiators a good clean to revive the room’s sparkle, making it appear new. Replacing bath sealant and items such as toilet seats, light pull cords, and shower heads can make a big difference too. Accessories with colour (such as a matching shower curtain and towel set) is a great combo. Colour combs like white, dark green and gold make for great bathroom décor.
4. Cut Back On Clutter
Reducing clutter is a great way to prepare yourself for selling. It also eliminates the worry of tidying ahead of viewings, simultaneously making your move easier and quicker. Bathrooms and Kitchens tend to be the most crowded. Hide items away in cupboards if you can, but if you can’t conceal utensils then decanting products into matching containers can make the space look more organised. Pus you can take these containers to re-fill shops now so you can also cut back on plastic waste! Win win!

5. Lighting Upgrade
It's really easy to transform a room with clever lighting. What might otherwise be a darker, more cramped room can be turned into a cosy area with a bit of warmer lighting. Consider a table lamp to brighten a gloomy corner of the lounge, perhaps with a statement lampshade to accentuate the size of the room.
