It can be tricky to keep up with the ever-changing interior design trends, especially when they change so frequently. However, homebuyers are paying attention to certain features when searching for their next home--especially if they're outdated. If you're looking to list your home, checkout these tips!
Certain Paint Colors
A fresh coat of paint does wonders and is one of the first things homebuyers notice. Murky browns, beiges and other "murky" colors can make rooms appear to be smaller or even darken a room overall if there isn't an abundance of natural light. It's usually best to lean on lighter tones to refresh a space and brighten it up--think light grey or even white.
Carpeting
Carpeting is slowly phasing out from taking the main stage--especially in new build homes. Homebuyers are noticing updated homes include tile that looks like hardwood floors with carpet only in the bedrooms. The living room is the #1 place homebuyers would prefer not to have carpet when they purchase their next home.
Curb Appeal
While most people spend a majority of their time inside, a prospective homebuyer is going to notice the exterior of your home first. Creating curb appeal is important and can help a buyer envision living there--especially as outdoor spaces show up on more people's must-haves. A simple fix can go a long way such as planting low maintenance flowers or even painting the front door!
Outdated Hardware
One seemingly small detail that may reveal if a home is outdated is the style of hardware on cabinets, door knobs and even light fixtures. If your home didn't come with cabinet hardware, consider adding some to protect your cabinets from everyday wear and tear--a detail that future homebuyers will definitely appreciate. Shiny brass door knobs are also a thing of the past, and it's a good idea to update or repair any light fixtures to truly enhance your home.
