If you're looking to make top dollar for your home, you've probably looked into different home improvement projects that will add value to your home. Today, I want share a few inexpensive, but effective, upgrades anyone can do to their Salt Lake City home.

Traditionally, homeowners are told that the greatest return on investment comes with upgrading kitchens and bathrooms. The problem is that these are expensive renovations, and not everyone has the cash on hand to make it happen. If you want to increase your home’s value on a budget, here are some cheap and easy renovation projects:

1. Fresh paint: Paint goes a long way, not just in color, but in cleanliness, smell, and the overall feel of the home. Go out, get some neutral paint colors, and add some fresh trends and colors into your home.
2. Lighting: This is a very inexpensive way to update your home and make it feel a bit more customized. Don’t be afraid to replace those old light fixtures with newer, more energy efficient ones!
3. Switch and outlet plates: If you have an older home, these might be yellowing or cracked and broken, so you want to be sure to replace them before you show your home. Switch plate covers are typically very cheap. Heating grates and vent covers are also really inexpensive. Nice, clean vents really go a long way in making your home look fresh and unlived in.
4. Plumbing fixtures: You can replace these yourselves. This will ensure you have no leaks and that your bathrooms and kitchens look as modern as possible without having to spend much money.
5. Window treatments: These go through a lot of trends and looks, so updating them is crucial if you don’t want to turn buyers off!
