Quick and Easy DIY Projects to Up Your Kitchen

March 22, 2018

When you’re getting ready to put your home on the market, you want it to impress any potential buyers. And because the kitchen is such an important spot in your home, you really want to make sure it has the WOW factor necessary to grab the attention of your ideal buyer and push the sale your home.

Luckily, you don’t have to spend lots of time or money to add some extra “wow” to your kitchen. A recent article on realtor.com outlined weekend DIY projects that instantly make your home look more expensive (and, as a result, more appealing to buyers), including:

Building a custom copper rack for your pots and pans. Easy and inexpensive, a custom copper rack for your pots and pans is a great way to give a stylish edge to your kitchen. Just hang a copper pipe from your wall or ceiling, hang your pots and pans with inexpensive hooks, and you have a unique focal feature that instantly gives elevation to your kitchen design.
Add a new light fixture above your kitchen table. If you have a kitchen table, switching out the light fixture above the table can instantly give a breath of new life into the space, making your kitchen feel more modern and trendy.
Add crown molding to cabinets. Adding crown molding to the tops of your cabinets accomplishes a couple of different goals. It adds visual interest, makes the cabinets look more expensive, and also draws the eye upward, making cabinets look larger.

Bottom line? Small changes to your kitchen can make a big difference on your buyers—and with a little time and effort, you can easily make those changes in a single weekend.
