They say that kitchens sell a house. While curb appeal is important in drawing potential buyers, the first room they want to see is the kitchen. Homeowners preparing their house for sale can make some simple, attractive upgrades that won’t break the budget. A Cobb County realtor can tell them how.
Cabinets
The first glance of a potential buyer takes in the whole kitchen. Then they focus on different things. If the cabinets are large and many, they may draw the eye first. Homeowners without a large budget could impress potential buyers by staining the cabinets. Cherry and dark stains are trending now.
However, painting the cabinets in bold, eye-catching colors is also fashionable. Popular colors include earth colors such as bright blue, sunny yellow, grass green, turquoise, red and orange. Bright white is always popular, with homeowners using highlights such as colorful back splashes, and painted appliances for pops of color.
Hardware
Hardware fashions change every year. There are so many styles that homeowners have trouble choosing. It changes the personality of the kitchen, though, and could give potential buyers a great first impression. Gold and brass hardware is popular right now, as well as vintage glass pulls and knobs.
Back Splash
Peel and stick back splashes are available in a multitude of colors and styles. Subway tile is popular, but homeowners have mosaics, brick, wood, and other finishes at their disposal. A Cobb County realtor knows potential buyers take back splashes seriously in considering the personality of the room.
Flooring and Counters
Clean the floor first. If it’s faded or chipped, then replace the damaged portions. If it can’t be saved, then a new floor is on the cards. Counter tops draw a lot of attention from potential buyers. Trending now is butchers block and quartz. Ryan Lewis & Associates can help homeowners with upgrade ideas to sell their homes.
