Ten Things that will add value to your home

Fourth article of a ten-part series of things that will add value to your home

People are into the “Natural” of Things

According to those in the industry that sell the newest of floor coverings, consumers definitely like natural material. It seems overall the general public have gone back to an appreciation for historically true materials. Very popular today is also the simulated variety which works just as well and the look is as popular as ever.

When it comes to bathrooms or kitchen floor coverings, the in-thing is tile or wood rather than the out-dated linoleum, which does not hold up as well and can tear, rip or gouge easily.

For the rest of the house, it is agreed that wood or laminate products have definitely taken over in popularity over wall-to-wall carpeting. If you do have carpet, you should make sure it is well-maintained so when potential buyers walk in they don’t think…”Gee, I’m going to have to spend thousands of dollars to replace all this carpeting.
