Selling your Home: Small Details Can Make a Big Difference
Seller
Have you ever entered a Duval County home and immediately fell in love with it, but weren’t quite sure what it was that gave you that warm, fuzzy feeling? Many times, it is the small details that pull a home together and give it the style and design that attracts people the moment they walk through the door.
Given this information, there are a variety of ways to add those finishing touches to your Duval County property to wow the next potential buyer that walks through the door:
- Kitchen backsplashes – If you’ve blown the budget for a high-end, updated kitchen only to have it feel cold and unwelcoming to your buyers, then you’ll need to remedy the situation with small, simple touches, such as a whimsical or creative kitchen backsplash.
Kitchen backsplashes can be made out of a variety of interesting and off-beat materials, including stainless steel, tin, copper and ceramic tile, just to name a few. Whatever type of backsplash you choose, however, keep it consistent with the overall design of the room. Ceramic tile backsplashes, for example, can involve beautifully colored, mosaic and glass tiles that will immediately warm up the space and create interest. For backsplash inspiration, just head to your local home improvement center or design center.
- Molding – Newer homes typically boast high ceilings, often topping nine or ten feet. With that in mind, it is important to realize that, along with soaring ceilings, often times comes a cavernous, cold feeling. An easy way to remedy this situation is to install simple crown molding, especially in the main living spaces in the home. Stained wood molding is ideal for a traditional home, while crisp, white molding is ideal for casual living spaces.
- Interior Lighting – Interior lighting often changes a not-so-interesting room into a room worthy of a second look. Pendant or chandelier lights can instantly add drama and interest, while accent lighting can bring out the home’s architectural details and accentuate positive features of a room.
