DIY for your home

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

Central to my house is the kitchen so I began by looking at the kitchen layout, our kitchen is a fitted kitchen which is quite east to use with a useful work triangle (fortunately I talked to a local kitchen business about kitchen planning before purchasing). The floor had problems with just lino layed which had got a bit chewed up as I had moved washing machines and fridges about in it. I sought out some tiling advice from a local business to get the floor tiles that would blend in with the fitted kitchen without making the room look to dark (just some of the small things you need to consider when you want to sell your house, first impressions are everything within the short window people have to look at you house).

The next room I needed to make sure was up to scratch was the bathroom, my bathroom layout was a little small because of some fitted cupboards which when taken out gave me masses more space (which if you are going on first impressions could help sell my house). Once again I went down to the local tiler for some useful tiling advice and went for larger light tiles which appeared to open the space in the bathroom, just one of the many things to be considering when purchasing bathroom tiles.

The other rooms I decorated with a neutral light colour which seemed to draw the rooms out and provided the whole house with a fresh look. I then stripped out as much stuff as I could and boxed everything that wasn’t essential away in the garage. Finished result, a house that I wanted to remain in, but after just one or two 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.
