There’s five really simple ways to upgrade your Main Line home that I’d like to share with you.
- Declutter: Move things around, take out the stuff you don’t need; donate it, give it to a friend or just throw it out.
- Replace lighting: You can really update your home quickly by updating the lighting or getting rid of those old builder fixtures or even just replacing the rings in your recessed lighting with fresh ones.
- Replace appliances: You can not only update to the latest finishes, you can save money on energy usage and maybe even get some rebates from your local electric company.
- Paint: Repaint with today’s hot colors you find in a magazine - have some fun with it. This can really make you fall in love with your house again.
- Hire a stager to help you focus on decor: It can be both expensive or inexpensive as most people charge by the hour. You don’t have to send them out shopping for you, but they can make some simple tweaks to stuff you have to help you upgrade your home.
Do you have any questions or topics you’d like to see made into a video? Email or call and I’d be happy to speak with you.
When we decided to sell our house last year, decluttering was absolutely the first thing we needed to do. I was able to rediscover and repurpose several decorative items into new spaces, making them feel much more impactful in the newly emptied space!!
ReplyDeleteBut I think your note about lighting is my favorite on this list. It's hard to pony up the $ when the light you have "works" but shines brass and builders grade fixtures were the most obvious thing that dated our new house.
