(BPT) - Fall can be the perfect time for
homeowners to complete projects that busy
summer schedules didn’t allow. It’s also a
great time to look at ways to add lasting value
to your property. This season, upgrade cheap
fixes, freshen dated looks and incorporate
lasting improvements in your home. Changes
that can bring impact and also increase the
resale potential of your home include:
Linoleum has been popular in many
homes since the 1950s, but these days it’s
not the only flooring option for durability

and waterproofing in areas like the kitchen
and bath. Wood-look tile has become hugely
popular, and the style isn’t going anywhere.
Retailers like Lumber Liquidators carry an
array of wood-look porcelain tile, vinyl
and engineered flooring products that are
versatile, water- and stain-resistant and fit
with any decor.
Particleboard and laminate are affordable
options, but not ones that will create impact
in the kitchen. These days the options are vast
for elevating countertops with butcher block,
quartz, marble, concrete and more. Create a
cohesive look with countertops matched to
the cabinets. Updating hardware can also be
an economical way to freshen the space and
tie the look together.
Common in many homes because they’re
easy to apply, popcorn ceilings are often one
of the first things a new homebuyer wants to
change. If you’re looking to sell, scraping the
popcorn in favor of a smooth look may win
over prospective buyers. Always test popcorn
ceilings for asbestos before you start.
Wallpaper had its day, but many new homeowners
want it gone - and that’s not always
an easy update. Save the headache now and
later and opt for neutral paint styles while
bringing interest and color with your décor.
Whites and neutral paints for walls and trim
brighten a space and make it appear bigger.
Many homeowners can’t wait to get rid of
old, dirty and dated carpets in favor of the
quality, reliability and beauty of hardwood
and wood-look floors. Now there are a variety
of hardwoods, bamboo and wood-look
flooring styles to choose from, and it’s possible
to achieve the look of hardwood at an
accessible price point.
The best part of making improvements
like these now is that homeowners can enjoy
them all winter long, and far beyond. And
you’ll increase the odds the next generation
will love your home, too. •
