2. Touch up your paint.
Touch up any old or worn paint, especially in larger rooms. The fresh paint smell is something buyers will notice as well.

3. Replace your cabinet hardware.
Whether you go with a lighter town like a brushed bronze or a darker one like nickel, it’s a very inexpensive way to update your kitchen.

4. Update your lighting fixtures.
This is a simple thing that will update the feel of your home immediately. You can get a 2-pack of brand-new light fixtures from Menards for just $30.
