Sell Your Home with a Great Laundry Room!?

Providing the "wow factor" to every room possible will help sell your house. One room often overlooked though is the laundry room.

How to Make Over a Laundry Room

An attractive laundry room can make the difference between a house that sits on the market and one that sells, says Sid Davis, author of Home Makeovers that Sell (AMACOM, 2007).“It’s the wow factor that gets you full price for a home,” he says.

Here are some tips that Davis and interior designer Jackie Terrell say work:

- Paint the walls a bright color since laundry rooms often lack natural light.
- Consider popping in a window or installing a door to bring in more light.
- Add warmth to a cold laundry room floor with a large area rug. Install cabinets and useful built-ins such as an ironing board.
- Take advantage of the plumbing already available in the laundry room to add a half-bath — an inexpensive way to lift property value.
