Add some hardwood flooring
When you replace existing carpeting, laminate or other flooring with hardwood, that is a good investment. Most home buyers are attracted to wood floors because of how beautiful and how warm they make the room feel. There are also many practical reasons why you should upgrade to hardwood floors, for example: they are easy to clean and to maintain, they can be sanded down and refinished, they make for a healthier indoor living environment, houses with hardwood floors are easier to sell, homes with hardwood floors sell faster, they sell for more money, most agents have said that homes with hardwood floors sell for over 10% more than homes without.

New paint
New paint is such a simple thing that you can do to upgrade your home. Make sure to choose colors that are neutral and rich if you are looking to sell your home. Get creative and texture a few of the walls in your house to give it a new modern look. People will notice different textures the second they lay eyes on them. This can be a great addition to your home to make your remodel even more special. Don't forget to remove all wallpaper. Most wallpaper is outdated and does not look as good as a nice coat of paint.

Trim
Trim is essential to any home. When you remodel, instead of just painting your old drab trim, replace it with a more custom trim. Use a different cut than you had before and even consider adding some bead trim or crown molding up by the ceiling. New trim alone will drastically change the look of any room.

Fixtures
Replace out dated light fixtures. Few people want to buy a house that has old and gold light fixtures from the 70's. Just by replacing your light fixtures you will increase the value and the beauty of your home. This is a great way to give a home a nice new refreshed look. New, updated, and matching fixtures will make any remodel special.

Caulking
This may seem funny, but replace the caulking in your home. Look around fixtures, sinks, and countertops and give them a new refreshed look. They may be cracking or have completely worn down. Just by re-caulking a surface can make in bright and new and make everything look classier. This is a great detail to pay attention to during a remodel and it is very cheap to do.

These are just some of the details that make your remodel really special. Take time to do these little things to really update your home to a new look. Not only will you love it, but so will your guests. Also, if in the future you decide to sell, these things will greatly increase the value of your home!
