If you’re looking to sell your home soon or in the future, it would be wise to start doing a few home improvement projects and investments to increase the value of your home to ensure you get the best possible rate. After all, homes are one of the most significant investments you’ll make in your life, might as well make it worth it for yourself and the next person.
Here are a few things that can increase your home value before a sale.
New paint job:
A fresh coat of paint is highly recommended as it makes the home look brand new to anyone who walks into it. In middle eastern climates, over time, dust can pile up over the paint and peeling may even occur due to humidity and leaks.
Inspection:
It’s best to inspect the whole house to find out if there are any underlying issues before the buyer finds them for you. Check for leaks, cracks, plumbing issues or even squeaky doors. Even the most minor issue can drastically reduce your house’s price, so it’s best to resolve them soon.
A new door:
A house’s front door or gate is the first thing a potential buyer will see before entering the home, so it’s best to make a statement. If you can’t afford to buy a new one immediately, you could spruce up your old one by giving it a new paint job and adding a decorative plant as a bonus.
Bathrooms:
Nothing screams luxury like the number of bathrooms in the house because no one likes to share. If you could increase the number of bathrooms in your home, it would be an added value to a buyer, and if you couldn’t, you could always upgrade the existing ones to give them a more luxurious feel. Steer clear from anything with too much detail. Remember, less is more when it comes to interiors; you want your bathroom to look clean, elegant, and easy to maintain.
Furniture:
If your sofa is outdated or needs upholstering, you can quickly fix that with customized sofa covers. You can get various options and fabric types, including water and scratch-proof for pet owners. Or, you could always rent some furniture to stage your viewings and wow your buyers; you can read more about staging here.
Get some Advice:

You can learn more about what people are looking for, different style techniques, and what’s new in decoration and design. You can reach out to interior designers like Pavilna for consultations.

Upgrade the flooring:
If your home still has tiled flooring from the early 2000s, it’s time to swap it in for a lovely faux wood panel flooring (par-kay) since it’s more child friendly and gives the home a more sophisticated look. The best part is that it is hassle-free installation; they add the new layer on top of your existing tile without breaking or removing it.
Landscape your property:
A beautiful garden is one of the easiest ways to add value to a home. No one said gardening was easy, but you can start with the basics, like shrubs and bushes. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Bahraini home without adding the local sweet basil plant, better known as mash-moum, a fast-growing fragrant bush guaranteed to win everyone’s heart.
