What are some good ways to add resale value to my kitchen?

Keep it clean :)

Do you have an island in it? Those kitchen are worth a lot more. You may want to think about replacing the flooring. Most kitchens are built with linoleum. You should replace it with a hardwood floor or a nice looking tile. Paint the walls a nice neutral color.

Grab a copy of this month’s Consumer Reports magazine for a detailed article on this very subject.

I have off-white walls and counters and a beautiful apple-green Italian tile for a back splash. New maple cabinets and wide pine-board floors. it looks beautiful, clean, fresh and doesn’t distract from the spectacular view. (The tiles pick up the colors of the trees.)

Upgrade your appliances!

You can also add full tile backsplash, possibly with a mosaic behind the stove, add a pot rack, glass doors with fancy glass, crown molding, under counter lighting, even a garden window, though the added value won’t be much over what you pay for it, people love them. A lot depends on your layout, and what kind of cabinets you have. Best of luck!

keep it simple and don’t do anything trendy. If you’ve got wood flooring, sand and finish them. Walls should be neutral, and cabinet hardware makes a difference too.
