“If you don’t maintain your home, it won’t maintain its beauty and appeal,” says Amy Bloomer, owner of Baltimore, MD-based home organizing company Let Your Space BLOOM, LLC. “Like any other relationship, over time you get used to it and take it for granted.” Avoid this complacency, Bloomer says; continue to make your home a place you love, keep up — even in small ways — and take pride in. You'll thank yourself when it comes time to sell.
Bloomer’s simple upkeep solves follow a handy acronym: H.A.C.S.
Hardware changes: Easily update a kitchen by changing out hardware on cabinets. This also applies to knobs and handles on bedroom furniture.
Accent paint: Refresh interior molding on an older home or paint high ceilings to help create the illusion of a more intimate space.
Camouflage paint: Have a kitchen with pea-green cabinets? No need to shop for replacements — those cabinet boxes might still have life. Paint the doors a contemporary color and voila: you’ve camouflaged the outdated look.
Switch fixtures: Good lighting can make a dramatic difference. Elevate a space by changing out frumpy fixtures with new lighting or overhead fans.
