It's hard for living rooms and bedrooms to deter prospective renters, but old, outdated kitchens and bathrooms will do it every time. Let experts in property management in Clearwater share a few secrets about how to transform your rental property kitchen while helping you avoid a costly remodel.
If you've skimmed design magazines or upscale Florida rental property photographs, you know what today's ideal kitchen looks like: custom cherry wood cabinets, granite-style countertops, stainless steel appliances and sinks. How can you get a similar effect without the out-of-pocket cost?
Start with your cabinets. If they're in good condition and your neighborhood comps will let you get away with it, paint them instead of replacing them. However you should choose your colors wisely. You want a color that's tasteful and design friendly such as pewter, low-gloss black, or something approximating natural wood tones. It has to complement the wall and counter surfaces for everything to harmonize properly.
Make sure the paint is applied by a professional using a paint sprayer for the best effect. Then choose contemporary brushed nickel or stainless steel handles and drawer pulls like the ones you see in magazines, and your room is instantly transformed.
