Summer is the perfect time to start considering property upgrades and fixes that you can do indoors. It’s a great way to beat the heat and stay in. Because of this, we compiled a few ideas for how the homeowners in your association can upgrade their homes. Share these great ideas with all of those in your community.
1. Audit and update the bathroom
Bathrooms are some of the most heavily trafficked (and also ignored) areas of the home—making any fixes here a special touch that will help to boost the value of your home in a single step. Whether you’ve just recently updated your bathroom, or you haven’t touched it since you moved in, we bet that there are some things that can be adjusted to give it that “special touch” that will keep your family satisfied. Some updates that you can try include:
- Re-doing the caulking and seals for all water-heavy areas of the bathroom
- Regular inspections for mold and mildew to prevent illness
- Replacing or updating key features, like the shower door, mirror, or light fixtures
- Investing in a quarterly or seasonal deep-clean to keep your area in top shape for use
Plus, it might be time to upgrade the decor scheme! Put on a fresh coat of paint, or switch up the themes and give it a more authentic feel. Check out At Home off of 32nd St. for some great ideas.
2. Updating or installing appliances with matching finishes
The finish is one thing that can really bring a room together—but during the move-in process, it can be especially easy to overlook. Consider investing in matching finishes in the common areas, such as the kitchen and bathroom. This single update is a great way to instantly add property value and help give your home that effortlessly put-together feel. We know that there isn’t a “perfect” scheme to follow, but chrome and silver finishes have become especially popular over the last few years. If you’re looking for a good place to start, reach out to the experts at Sun Valley Appliance. They’ll be able to help you find the perfect appliance for your space, and can work with you on tips for installation and use.
3. Consider a fresh coat of paint
Neutrals are in—and have been for quite some time. Updating your living spaces with a fresh coat of paint can instantly brighten and elevate your space with minimal effort! Stop by your local paint store, Arizona Paint Supply, to find the perfect shade for your home.
4. Install a fresh-looking backsplash
Backsplashes have more use than aesthetic appeal. They allow for easy cleaning and maintenance in splash-prone areas of your kitchen and can actually boost the value of your home by tying your kitchen together. The best part? It only takes a few hours to properly install and finish, making this a perfect DIY project for those lazy Arizona summer afternoons! Simply stop by your hardware store (like Arizona Hardware) and pick up the grout, caulk, mortar, and tile. You’ll be well on your way to a Pinterest-worthy kitchen after the afternoon is out!
