1. Paint the Kitchen Cabinets
You can give the kitchen cabinets in your New Bedford rental house a fresh new look instead of replacing them. Try painting them in solid colors or even patterns! For just the cost of the paint, your rental home’s kitchen can now have a custom look.
2. Add New Cabinet Hardware
When it comes to home improvements, even small changes can make a big difference. Just by adding new cabinet handles and drawer pulls, your kitchen could get an instant uplift. All you’ll need is a screwdriver!
3. Add New Light Switch and Outlet Cover Plates
A quick fix that offers a lot of bang for your buck is the easy replacement of your broken, yellowed, or missing light switches or outlet plates. Add bright and clean cover plates to upgrade and improve the overall appearance of your property.
4. Install New Light Fixtures or Bulbs
Another easy and inexpensive upgrade is light fixtures. Good lighting can make a big difference in the appeal of your rental house. Simply replace dated or dirty light fixtures, with something new and current. You can even upgrade existing light fixtures by just changing the bulbs. Having matching bulbs in ceiling fans, vanity lights, and other accessories can instantly improve the look of any room.
5. Replace the Faucets
An easy improvement for both the kitchen and bathrooms is simply to replace old faucets. Taps often stop working efficiently after some time. New faucets cost little and are easy to replace with a few basic tools.
6. Replace the Bathroom Vanity
Bathroom vanity cabinets are a quick fix for aging bathrooms. Simply upgrade your bathroom cabinets by getting a new vanity. Bathroom vanities are relatively inexpensive and can do a lot to improve the look of any bathroom.
7. Add Trim or Crown Molding
Wall trim easily adds elegance to your living space. Old baseboards and door trim make a room look dated. Get an instant update by replacing the trim with a newer style. If you want to go for a refined look, add chair rail (wall trim) or crown molding to the main living area or bedrooms. Trim is easy to install and can have a big impact.
8. Create a Feature Wall
Rental house interiors often look the same. It may not be a bad thing, but you can ensure that your property stands out by adding a feature wall. A feature element that looks built-in can be your feature wall. You can also simply just have a wall painted a bold color. Shelves, valances, or a high plant shelf can catch the attention of a great new tenant.
When it comes to property improvements, doing a few small projects like that can have a big impact. With just the basic tools and inexpensive materials, you can transform your rental house into a home your tenants will love.
