She says, &#8220;Lake homeowners should stick to a natural wood theme in the house with painted touches throughout.

It&#8217;s also a room that will meet any buyer&#8217;s scrutiny if it takes on a fresh, updated look. A broken faucet or a rusty bathtub can change a buyer&#8217;s mind quickly, so upkeep is paramount for future selling. However, you don&#8217;t have to break the bank doing this. You can take specific shortcuts, such as replacing the toilet seat lid without replacing the entire toilet and replacing cracked floor tiles instead of installing a brand new tile. Think of it as a &#8220;spot cleaning&#8221; for your home. Even simple design changes such as adjusting the lighting or buying a new mirror can make a huge difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-landscaping\">Landscaping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27243\" style=\"width:565px;height:580px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pexels-mali-68470.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/two-red-flowers-on-stairs-68470\/\">mali maeder<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Although landscaping is an essential renovation in most traditional homes, it&#8217;s even more critical at the lake.

If your landscape is overgrown, cut it back to showcase your home. If your landscape is sparse, consider updating your walkways or adding more plants to the outdoor space. Try adding native plants specifically, as they&#8217;ll require less maintenance and are more likely to flourish. Also relevant to landscaping is updating your boat dock, if you have one. If your boat dock is unkempt or looks like you&#8217;d be uncomfortable hosting friends on it, it needs to be redone.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paint\">Paint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wall-worker-man-repair-painter-blue-paint-decorating-house-renovation-color-work-home-interior-tool_t20_vL1Re3-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15223\" style=\"width:568px;height:323px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wall-worker-man-repair-painter-blue-paint-decorating-house-renovation-color-work-home-interior-tool_t20_vL1Re3-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wall-worker-man-repair-painter-blue-paint-decorating-house-renovation-color-work-home-interior-tool_t20_vL1Re3-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wall-worker-man-repair-painter-blue-paint-decorating-house-renovation-color-work-home-interior-tool_t20_vL1Re3-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lakehomes.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/wall-worker-man-repair-painter-blue-paint-decorating-house-renovation-color-work-home-interior-tool_t20_vL1Re3.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twenty20.com\/photos\/7cd895cd-d11c-4195-92d5-901b9756d8a2\/?utm_t20_channel=bl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@ilona.shorokhova via Twenty20<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This one might go unnoticed, but paint provides a high return on investment. Kevin McGuire, the owner of\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/metroprecisionpainting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Metro Precision Painting<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, says, &#8220;Interior and exterior painting provides a great ROI because the color and the quality of the paint on your home is typically the first thing a buyer is going to notice. On the contrary, if you have ugly colors, peeling or fading paint, most people will not be able to look past that; thus, it can significantly decrease the value of your home.&#8221; Plus, it&#8217;s also cheaper than other renovations like remodeling kitchens and bathrooms. In contrast to these rooms, paint is a smaller investment that can yield big returns. For example, an exterior paint job on a 2000 square foot home would usually cost $2.00 for every square foot. You also have the opportunity to customize the paint to your lake house. &#8220;Most clients want a beachy feel and would like to bring the outdoors in,&#8221; he says. &#8220;This is something that you can create if you use the right color scheme.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you&#8217;re looking to sell your lake home,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lakehomes.com\/info\/articles-and-news\/whiteboard-topics-3-reasons-why-people-are-selling-their-lake-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">now is a great time<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.
