Installing Pale Hardwood Floors

“Installing a wide plank hardwood floor is a great way to enhance the value of your home,” said Jared Barnett, a licensed real estate salesperson at Compass Real Estate: The Barnett-Bittencourt Team. “Wide planks are modern and attractive and help create an illusion of a larger, more open space. I recommend using a light color such as white oak which will also keep the space bright and airy.”

Converting a Room Into an Office

“With increasing trends of people working remotely, a home office has become a desirable feature for homebuyers,” Barnett said. “Many buyers today are looking for a comfortable work-from-home lifestyle so this bonus room will certainly appreciate your home.”

Painting Kitchen Cabinets White

“White cabinets have a timeless appeal that creates a bright and open feel in the kitchen,” Barnett said. “As a cost-effective and relatively simple renovation, it can yield a substantial return on investment.”
