Five Makeovers to Convert an Old House into a Real Estate Dream

Real Estate Dream

In today’s competitive real estate realm, each and every aspect of the house counts. While we have always been taught that it is what on the inside that counts, the outside is equally important when it comes to one’s home. Summarized below are top five makeover tips when it comes to giving those drab exteriors and dingy interiors of an old house a generous dose of touch-up and converting them into a coveted realty dream –

Bedroom makeovers

Bedrooms have ceased to be simple, plain and functional – they are classy, elegant and welcoming. Plain bedrooms can easily be converted into an elegant space by doing away with basic wallpapers and dropped ceilings and instead going in for primer-coated pine planks, elegant hardwood floors, classy matching headboards, soft, woolen or dhurrie rugs, classic Ethiopian or Egyptian cotton drapes for the windows and freshly painted walls. Homeowners can even add bedrooms in a home by converting crawl spaces and lofts into a small but spaced out functional guest bedroom. The room can be done up in soft colors such as beige or white that make the space appear expansive, and a staircase or curtains can separate this room from the rest of the house.

Kitchen makeovers

A home cannot become a real estate dream without the kitchen being a part of the makeover. Tile counters and old cabinetry can be replaced by subway tiles, functional Ikea units and open shelves neatly stacked with pots, pans and dishware. The bulky and outdated wooden kitchen island can be upgraded to stone countertops, lapboard, crown molding and a touch of fresh paint. In order to make a tiny kitchen look bigger and for the kitchen to look ordered, painting the spaces, cabinets and ceiling in white uplifts the look of the kitchen. Regular fixing of faucets and cleaning of cabinets will always give the space clean and pleasing look.

Bathroom makeovers

Bathrooms today have ceased to be forgotten functional spaces in the house that were only a necessity – today they reflect the personality of the homeowners. Retaining the layout of the space, the bathroom can be revamped by updating the plumbing lines instead of spending on shifting them completely, installing single sink consoles and updating showerheads.

Entryway makeovers

The entryway to the house sets the tone for it. A mudroom-like, gloomy entryway can be completely transformed into a more welcoming one by adding a fresh layer of bright paint such as carmine, crimson, lava or rosso corsa red will make the space look very inviting indeed by accentuating the brightness and giving it drama. Grouped cohesive art, large, new mirrors, consoles and wicker baskets for stashing backpacks and footwear, narrow benches to enable guests to wear/remove their shoes and a striped woven rug for the foyer will beautify the entrance.

Exterior makeover

The adage “First impressions are lasting impressions” stands true in the case of real estate. Swept steps, trimmed bushes, clean yard, mowed lawn, matching flowers, and a half-moon gate makes for a house that is impossible to overlook from the outside.
