FLOOR AND WALL FINISHES
Don’t undervalue the paint and flooring in your home! Walking into any room of a house, the walls and floors are the first surfaces that a person sees; therefore materiality is very important in order to make a strong first impression.
Walls should be smooth and painted in a colour that isn’t too much of a personal preference. A light and warm neutral colour usually works best to both enlarge the look of a space, but also create a warm and desirable ambiance. Simply repainting your walls will give you a 29% better return than other popular renovations.
Flooring should create a good flow between one room to the next and be able to tie in with other elements such as cabinetry, wall colours, and baseboards. Choosing the right floor finish is important as it ties all the individual element of your home together. Always consult a design professional before changing your floor unless you are certain of what you want as flooring is often difficult and expensive to change.
The Spezio Property Services' approach to service adds a positive image to our customers' properties by employing professional and courteous maintenance teams. Our trained employees operate well-maintained and clean equipment. All trucks are fitted with the latest GPS navigation technology.
Based on studies, flooring can generate a 22% better return on investment than the average renovations. If you home has carpet on story where the family room, dining room, and living room are located, it is recommended to have all the carpets changed to hardwood and/or tiles. Not only will it make your home more elegant, but you will also enjoy the benefits of a healthier indoor environment, with less allergens.
Besides the above-mentioned, there are also other types of value-adding renovations that could help in selling you house. Before making any decisions, you should always consider the length of time that you would stay in your house before selling, and consult a design professional for the proper design solutions that suits your needs. Planning ahead in detail always saves you time and money so that you can have your cake and eat it too.
