1. Landscaping projects add curb appeal and visual value. So, while we wouldn't recommend doing any projects such as this during colder months, it's fun to plan projects for spring. Consider how new landscaping, a beautiful new front door (or coat of paint), or some decorations can benefit the front of your home.

2. There's no greater way to jazz up a room in your home than to paint it. Consider adding a fresh coat of paint to your most drab rooms this year. With just a few gallons of paint (and about $50), you can transform an old room into a thing of beauty.

3. Bathrooms get a lot of attention from homeowners and buyers alike. That's because bathrooms sell houses. Upgrade your bathroom's fixtures, cabinets, and shower accessories today to give it a fresh style and a brand new feel.

4. Never underestimate the power of new home lighting, and we're not just talking about bulbs, either. Adding new and beautiful fixtures wherever your lighting is lacking can bring your home into the next decade. Upgrade your whole home's lighting fixtures for just a few hundred dollars.

5. If you are considering a home sale soon, follow HGTV's advice on how to stage and add curb appeal to the front of your home.

The most important thing you can do to prepare your home for sale is to get rid of clutter. You don't have to whittle that drastically, but take a hard look at what you have and ask yourself what you can live without.
