6. Hang art without framing it
Clips, tacks, and washi tape are your friend—yes, the kind you can source at any art store or (don't worry, just one pack of them will be way more cost-effective than professional framing.
7. Replace the kitchen faucet
Replacing the kitchen faucet would be a great touch if you've lived in the home for quite sometime and haven't changed any of the small things in your home. Consider the investment!
8. Get a new toilet seat
It may be a more cost effective to replace a toilet than to repair leaks or poor water use efficiency. The other thing to consider is its appearance. Your toilet may not match your current color scheme or even have any resemblance to your sense of style or home decor.
9. Install LED strip lights in the kitchen
LED lighting gives you that crisp clear look. Most people who love cooking and entertaining lighting is pretty much important.
10. Add some throw pillows
Throw pillows are always great essentials to change the look in any space. Consider changing the color scheme to something more vibrant or eye catching to those who may be interested in renting your palace.
