Making small home makeovers can have a massive impact on how a property is viewed, it has been suggested.Writing for the Star-Telegram, Susan Dunlap noted that a kitchen tap replacement is one way of improving food-preparation areas on a budget. Commenting on her own home, she stated I replaced an ugly, utilitarian kitchen faucet the plumber picked out with a beautiful, chrome goose-neck model, adding that the tap swap was a little something that brought big change.According to Ms Dunlop, the recession has caused many people to rethink their approach to upgrading their house and smaller renovations can still add value, as well as increasing homeowner satisfaction. People were also advised that in big houses all of the rooms, including the kitchen, should be painted in the same neutral palette as applying different shades can create islands and make spaces seem smaller. The Daily Herald recently reported that kitchen tap swaps are a great way of updating a home at a cheap price.
