5 Simple Bedroom Improvements That Could Bring in Higher Offers
If you’re selling a home in Las Vegas, your real estate agent will most likely talk to you about improvements you can make around the house to bring in higher offers – and some of them may be in the bedroom. And so here’s a quick list of five easy improvements you may be able to make:
- Revitalized lighting
- Half-empty closets
- Neutral paint
- An upgraded bathroom
- Refreshed bedding
Scroll down for a closer look at each.
How Much is Your Home Worth?
Home-Selling Bedroom Improvement #1: Revitalized Lighting
Buyers prefer to see bedrooms that look relaxing, not dark and cavernous. Therefore this means you may need to update the lighting system in yours. Check out your light fixture; if it’s seen better days, it may be time to shop for a new one. Fortunately, many home improvement stores carry a huge selection of light fixtures, many of which are appropriate for the bedroom, and installing a fixture is typically a DIY job.

Home-Selling Bedroom Improvement #2: Half-Empty Closets
Buyers can, and will, look inside your closets. They’re not looking at your belongings; they’re looking at how much space is available for their belongings. Thus, that means you need to maximize what you’re working with by removing half of your clothing. (You Can look at it as half-empty or half-full – totally up to you.) You don’t have to get rid of these items, but you should store them somewhere other than your home. For instance, renting a storage unit, while your home is on the market. A $200 expense can lead to an extra $10,000 of profit. Or even more! Thus, this makes a great investment.

Home-Selling Bedroom Improvement #3: Neutral Paint
Although your bedroom’s color palette may suit you exceptionally well, there’s no way to predict how buyers will feel about it. Paint your bedroom walls neutral (that goes for kids’ rooms, too). In that way, buyers won’t set foot in your space and start thinking about all the work they’ll have to do by repainting.

Home-Selling Bedroom Improvement #4: An Upgraded Bathroom
If you have a bathroom attached to your bedroom, consider giving it a few upgrades. Think about upgrading the faucets, light fixtures, switch plates and cabinet hardware. Likewise, small touches like these go a long way in elevating a buyer’s opinion of a space. And the best part is that these are all quick, affordable fixes.
Home-Selling Bedroom Improvement #5: Refreshed Bedding
Although buyers know that your belongings will be going with you when you move, you need to set the stage for inspiration. Invest in a new comforter or duvet cover, for instance. Also consider matching pillows and other accents. When you sell a home, you’re not simply selling four walls and a roof. In the end, you’re selling a lifestyle. Therefore, you want to convey to buyers that the bedroom in your home is a luxury space that’s perfect for relaxation.
