Better home DIY


January 31, 2010

I have recently been thinking about selling my house and as with a lot of subjects similar to this have been trying to work out what the best path to make the house look good before we either sell our house or remain in it for a bit longer. I started by looking at different rooms in the house and thinking about what I might do to improve them and iron out the issues I might have had about them.

The heart of my house is the kitchen so I started their considering the kitchen layout, we have a fitted kitchen which works quite well with a useful work space (luckily I talked to a local kitchen business about kitchen planning ahead of buying). The floor was a bit of an issue with just lino layed which had got a little chewed up as I had shoved washing machines and fridges about in it. I sought out some tiling advice from a near by business to get the floor tiles that would work in with the fitted kitchen without making the room look to dark (just some of the small things you have to think about when you want to sell your house, first impressions need to be just right within the short window somebody has to view your house).

The next room I wanted to ensure was working was the bathroom, my bathroom layout was a bit small due to some fitted cupboards which when taken out gave me a lot more space (which if you are going on first view could help sell my house). Once again I popped down to the local tiler for some useful tiling advice and went for big light tiles which seemed to open the space in the bathroom, just one of the many things to be considering when purchasing bathroom tiles.

I then went through the house and painted with a neutral light colour which seemed to draw the rooms out and provided the whole house with a new look. I then took out as much stuff as I could and boxed everything that wasn’t essential away in the garage. The final thing, a house that I wanted to stay in, but after just a few viewings brought to me from an online property site I have got some serious interest, so fingers crossed ill be able to sell my house soon.
