Make or Break! The Kitchen Is The One Room That Can Help Or Hinder A Sale.

Make or break!  The kitchen is the one room that can help or hinder a sale.  It is usually one of the most  expensive rooms in any house.  An update doesn’t necessarily mean a total re-fit, there are some small things you can do to make your kitchen more appealing.

Clear the clutter!   If you have more on your kitchen benches than in the cupboards you need to clear the clutter.

Wall worries!  A fresh coat of paint can work wonders in a drab kitchen, especially if cooking splatters have become a feature!

Do up your doors!   Swapping cabinet doors can give your kitchen a whole new look.  If entirely new doors are outside your budget, you can make a huge difference by simply replacing the handles of your cupboards and drawers.

Lift the lighting!  Being a task room, the lighting in a kitchen is something buyers will take careful note of.  A good idea is to install spot lights under top cupboards to provide light for the benchtop work area.

Benchtops!   Many people think that replacing a scratched and stained benchtop is just too costly, but not all benchtop materials are that expensive. This small investment could save your sale!

Fix the floor!  If your kitchen floor is a little worse for wear, lift the lino and if you have them, polish the floorboards underneath otherwise lay vinyl flooring, which is easy to clean.  Alternatively you may like to use tiles for a contemporary cool feeling.
