When it comes to renovating your home, it is likely that you have already thought of one of the first recommendations that we give to all our clients who want to sell their home and that would increase the value immediately:

Paint the walls

Painting the walls of your home refreshes and creates a new energy in the home immediately. Basically, painting renews the atmosphere of a home.

It is clear that if the walls have scratches or the paint is dirty from smoke because you smoke or your kitchen is open to the living room or you live in the city and air pollution is high, by painting the walls you will give a radical change to your house .

We recommend neutral colors if you are going to sell the house. And if, on the other hand, it is your home in the near future, take a risk with the trend colors: emerald green and electric blue or colors that fit more explosively than you fit in your home and add it to certain parts because they will give your home a new style.

If the exterior of your home is also painted, we also recommend that you paint it, if it is high, there are scaffolding for no more than €200 to be able to climb and paint it yourself if you are an agile person and are not afraid of heights.

Well and since we are with the brush... Another trend in decoration that gives your home a new touch is;

Paint the front door of your home

We will mention later the importance of renewing the wood, but since we are on the topic of painting, if your main door to your home is made of wood, we strongly recommend that you paint it, the metal ones can also be renewed in the same way , here the sanding is important that we are very precise and reach a minimum of 500 sandpaper and finish with a water sanding.

In cities such as Amsterdam, London, New York, Milan and trend cities in design and fashion it is almost an identifying mark of the cosmopolitan cities themselves.

Update home details

It is very important to always think about the small details when selling your home, since it is those things that are not so noticeable that unconsciously give the home that extra touch.

For this, we strongly recommend renovating or changing the small parts of our house such as the trims of the switches and plug covers, lighting fixtures, doorknobs, even the rods of our curtains, they are small details that can add a significant dynamism without spend a lot of money.

Classic ceilings with moldings

Attaching crown molding is a surprisingly easy task that can add a more classic character to rooms in your home.
You just have to buy the molding and cut them to the size that fits the room or have them cut by the home improvement store and attached to the top of the wall with a nail gun. It is true that you have to be a bit crafty to put the crown molding, as well as have the right tools; like a nail gun, but it's quite inexpensive to do it yourself and adds a retro French touch to the home.

Upholster your sofa and upholster your chairs with your hands
If so, you can upholster your own sofa or chairs yourself. You mainly need a strong staple gun, scissors, fabric, and patience.
In this video by Verónica Tolentino on her Atelier channel, she teaches you how to do it step by step.
The trending tones and colors for this 2023 in sofas and chairs are deep tones. We recommend within the trend the deep shades of blue, reddish and terracotta; the colors of the mediterranean.

Restore the wood in your home

If you are lucky enough to live in a house with wooden floors, beams or columns, whether old or modern, and you notice marks or that have lost the brightness and luminosity of the wood, invest time in renovating the wood in your home.

The quickest thing is to work with a rotary orbital sander, you can buy one, there are cheap ones that are perfect for occasional jobs like this, and with some sandpaper; always remember to work with different grains of sandpaper from coarser to finer, you have to sand as when you paint in layers. With time and care you will give your home a new look.

Deep clean the chimney
 
It is important that the chimney of our homes is as clean as possible, especially if you want to sell a property.
 
The first thing you should do if you want to sell your home is to pay a professional chimney sweep to clean the inside of your chimney. Keep the invoice because it has the date and this increases the confidence of the buyer, since it shows that you take care of the property.
 
When it comes to adding aesthetic value with your fireplace, the main task is clear: clean the outside of your fireplace, whether it is cast iron with glass or open or closed brick, stone, etc; cleaning the remains of ash and soot from the smoke of your chimney is important so that once again; shows that the house is well looked after.
