DIY for your home
January 10th, 2010
Having recently considered selling my house and as with a lot of things similar to this have been trying to find out what the best way to make the house look good before we either sell our house or stay in it for a bit longer. I began by looking at various rooms in the house and considering what I might do to better them and remove any issues I might feel about them.
Central to my house is the kitchen so I began by considering the kitchen layout, we have a fitted kitchen which is quite east to use with a reasonable work triangle (fortunately I talked to a near by kitchen business about kitchen planning before buying). The floor was a bit of an issue with just lino layed which had got a bit ripped up as I had shoved washing machines and fridges about in it. I got some tiling advice from a local company to get the floor tiles that would work in with the fitted kitchen without making the room look to dark (just a few of the little things you have to consider when you come to sell your house, initial impressions need to be just right within the short time people have to look at you house).
I then needed to make sure the bathroom was up to scratch, my bathroom layout was a little small because of some fitted cupboards which when removed gave me a lot more space (which if you are going on initial impressions could help sell my house). Once again I went down to the area tiler for some useful tiling advice and went for larger light tiles which appeared to open the space in the room, just one of the many things to be considering when buying bathroom tiles.
I then went through the house and painted with a neutral light colour which seemed to draw the rooms out and gave the whole house a fresh look. I then stripped out as much stuff as I could and boxed everything that wasn’t essential away in the garage. Finished result, a house that I wanted to remain in, but after just one or two viewings brought to me from an online property site I have got some good interest, so fingers crossed ill be able to sell my house soon.
