Fall In Love with Your Home Again
A few small affordable changes can make all the difference in how you (and potential buyers) feel in your home!
“Wow! I wish we would have done this for ourselves years ago!”- Every seller after we get their home ready for market.
Being intentional with your space, curating areas for enjoyment and ambiance at home is something we often put off, but shouldn’t! Whether it's the year to sell your home or just time to freshen things up for YOU, this post covers it!
We’re excited to share with you 5 affordable ways to get your home looking fresh and inviting. And for our sellers out there, you know Heritage Coast is here to help with any heavy lifting.
Front Entry Styling
Does your door need a fresh coat of paint? Does that light fixture say “I’m built in 1967!”? Consider a modern paint color for your door, layer entry rugs, and replace any dated light fixtures or mailboxes to keep things feeling new and refreshed. Enhanced curb appeal sets the tone for the whole home.
2. Refresh Light Fixtures
How long has it been since you replaced the light over the dining table? Your entryway? Inexpensive and modern light fixtures can make a significant impact on the overall feel of your home and look much more appealing to a new generation of buyers with more discerning tastes.
3. Mini Kitchen/Bath Makeover
Instead of a full remodel, replace outdated cabinet hardware, install a new backsplash, and update faucets. Repainting or refacing cabinets can modernize the kitchen without major costs. In the bathroom, replace old mirrors, add new lighting, and recaulk the tub/shower to make the space feel fresh.

4. Fresh Paint
Maybe a bedroom is rocking old wallpaper or the guest bath could use a fresh coat. Consider a neutral color palette throughout your home on walls and even on dated cabinets in kitchens and bathrooms. Updating paint is often the most cost effective ‘big impact’ improvement there is. Our top pick is always Carrara by Dunn Edwards for the perfect interior wall color.

5. Make your outdoor areas ‘entertainment ready’.
Creating ambience to your outdoor areas can go a long way. Hang string lights to add warmth and set the scene, add a modern rug underneath your dining set or pick up a fire table to enjoy the quickly approaching Summer evenings.
