Modern decorating hasn’t differed drastically from traditional styles, and taste is different for everyone. That’s why it’s important to zero in on the trends that will bring the most value to your home. Here are some ideas for those considering a remodel.

Neutral Colors

Once upon a time, the advice to home owners looking to sell a property was to give everything a quick coat of white paint. It makes sense, because you want the new owners to have a style that isn’t offensive. Whatever you do, don’t apply a finishing coat before you leave. This just adds to the work that the new owners will need to do. Neutral colors that warm the space, like eggshell or a light tan, are great options. Choose a matte finish and make sure you’re matching colors with your carpets as best you can.

Storage Space

Lots of people like to see extra storage space in a home. There are plenty of ways to add that space without breaking the bank. A particle board pantry cabinet from your local hardware store is one method to add more space in the kitchen. Metal storage racks in the garage is another. Built in storage is especially useful, and will come in handy for the new owners.

Energy Efficiency

Did you know that the door of your home can contribute significantly to the energy efficiency of your home? Doors with high “R” values tend to retain heat efficiently, which lowers heating bills. You can also add weather stripping for extra value. Walk the home during the winter and caulk up any holes that cause drafts. By the time you’re done, you’ll have given your home some much needed maintenance.
