If you own a vacation home that you want to rent out or are considering selling, having a beautiful, eye-catching property can significantly impact the interest it receives. Size, layout, style, and facilities are all crucial considerations, but occasionally having a few eye-catching features will inspire someone to take the next step and come for a viewing.

Large-scale renovations are one method to give a house a fresh look, but they are expensive and not something everyone can afford to do to a house they might want to rent out or sell. The next renovations can all be completed on even the tightest budgets and add eye-catching beauty to your home.

1. Update Your Backsplash

Because the kitchen is the center of the house, it should be bright, tidy, and clutter-free. A fascinating area of the house is the backsplash. It only has one function: to give the room some style, color, and personality. Most backsplashes average around 30 sq.ft. and are reasonably simple to replace the size. Because of this, they can be tiled at a very low cost, even with more expensive materials.

Invest in some glass tiles if your kitchen is on the dark side. They will brighten the entire room. Choose a handmade subway tile for a kitchen decorated in a cottage or farmhouse style. This will have a traditional appearance that appeals to most people and offers character that only handmade tile can.

Look for something 3D and geometric to brighten up the appearance of your modern home. Depending on the type of tile you choose for your backsplash, you may expect to spend anywhere between $100 and $1,000 on the project.

2. Add a Wainscot Accent

Even though wainscoting a whole room can get pricey, you can add a wow element to certain portions of your house without going over budget. To give the space a more individualized feel, place a row of coat hooks and wainscoting at shoulder height with some bead board. To give your interior design a sense of depth and gravity, panel the longest wall in the dining area with raised paneling.

With the addition of a wainscot accent, you may draw attention to this particular area of the room, instantly changing its appearance. The average cost of wainscoting a single wall ranges from $500 to $750, depending on the style.

3. Paint Your ENTRANCE Door

A home's overall front gets a quick boost from painting the front door, increasing curb appeal. Since it is quick and simple to alter as trends change and is frequently suggested as an improvement by Realtors, the front door is the ideal place to go trendy with color and do something eye-catching.

To ensure that the color really stands out and sparkles for onlookers, use at least two coats of paint and think about using something with a sheen or gloss. It only costs around $125 to $150 to paint a door, so this is a rather affordable DIY.

4. RENovate the mantel of the fireplace

Because they provide a natural focal point, fireplaces are the area in a room that is most commonly observed. The mantel is the most crucial component in producing that focal point. People frequently focus on the mantel because that is where personalizing and adornment may occur.

Consider upgrading a modest or thin mantel with something more opulent or robust. Reclaimed wood is currently a trendy material for mantels and may give a space some history and charm. The average cost of updating the mantel is between $100 and $500.

5. Add A DECORATIVE Light

Consider purchasing an accent light if you want to spruce up a foyer, dining room, or the space over a peninsula or island in the kitchen. In addition to giving much-needed light, a stylish, eye-catching hanging light may completely change the appearance of a room. Adding an accent is a terrific idea because foyers and kitchens, in particular, frequently require more light.

Accent lights can provide immediate interest and focus to an area, costing anywhere between $50 and $500.

CONCLUSION

There are still many ways to draw attention to your home without undertaking a complete renovation. The secret is to pay attention to tiny accent areas that can make a significant difference.

Whether you embark on larger remodeling initiatives or allow them to stand strong on their own, these places give you the opportunity to alter the appearance of your house.
