Some home improvements will
not return dollar for dollar value when you sell your home. Decorating can
be subjective. What you like, someone else might not like. However, some
improvements are sure winners' others are not:
-
Fireplaces return 100% on
the dollar.
-
Paint will return 100%
(use neutral colors).
-
Swimming pools will return
0-50%.
Expensive built-in cabinets,
custom lighting, hardware, drapes, security systems, etc., will make your
home show better than the competition. However, you cannot expect to recover
your entire investment in these improvements. Hopefully, you have enjoyed
the benefits of the improvements while living in your home.

Paint or wallpaper
