Lots of people tell me that it's not the time for them to buy or sell a home, but they just get tired of their current home. Here are six ways to upgrade your home right now.

The first way to spruce up your home is to declutter. We accumulate so many things; every surface of your house is probably covered with things you don't have time to put away, and you're probably done with all of it. Take the time to get rid of the things that you're not really fond of.

The second thing is to clean. There's nothing like a good spring cleaning in the middle of the fall, especially if you didn't have time for it in the spring. Clean out everything. Nothing feels better than a good clean house. If you don't have time to do that, treat yourself and hire someone to do it for you. You will feel so much better when you come home.

Add or rearrange lighting fixtures. Sometimes, the way the lights were installed when the house was built just doesn't work for you. Save up a little money and move some of those lights around. You could also upgrade the light fixtures. A lot of older homes have silver light fixtures. Upgrading to brushed bronze can make your home feel more modern.

While you're at it, go ahead and upgrade the home's hardware. That includes the hardware on the doors as well as sink and plumbing fixtures. Get them all to match and it will look like you have a new home.

Another thing you can do is repaint. Gray paint is a big trend lately. If you don't want to change your flooring and your flooring is tan, keep tan or taupe walls. That with white trim will make your house feel fresh and new.

Focus on decor. You can find so many good things to put on your wall and make your home seem more modern.

Those are our top six upgrades, but we'll throw a seventh one in for free: fresh flowers. Having a vase with fresh cut flowers always makes a house look good. You even feel better with flowers in the house. Your guests might think you did it for them, but it's actually a good thing to do for yourself.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me. I would be happy to help you!
