4 Tips To Keep Your Home Looking Like New

You don't have to live in a house for very long before it starts showing wear and tear if you don't take good care of it.  If you just get into the habit of doing a few simple things, you can keep your beautiful home looking like you just bought it.  Our luxury lake view homes at the Lake of the Ozarks start out looking amazing, and the following tips will help you to keep yours that way.    


Keep the yard tidy.

Curb appeal is one of the most attractive parts of a new home.  It's definitely the first impression that someone gets about your house.  You don't have to spend a fortune completely redoing the landscaping.  The simple act of keeping the grass cut and weeds pulled can keep your place looking its best.  Don't forget to look up, too.  Trees need to be trimmed often to keep them looking neat.    


Don't postpone routine maintenance.

Your home can keep running like new if you make sure to keep it well maintained. Replace filters and test smoke detectors.  Clean out gutters and inspect the outside for damage.  Keeping a home folder with a calendar listing all of the tasks to be taken care of by season is a great way to stay on top of this.    

Protect the floors.

Rough-looking floors can really age a house.  Take care to clean up spills on carpets or rugs immediately before they can set in.  If you have hardwood floors, make sure that any furniture placed on it has the proper protection so that it won't scratch up your floor when moved around.  


Easy upgrades

When you just want to change things up a little, there are plenty of easy, low-cost things that you can do to make a room that you are tired of look like a new one.  A fresh coat of paint can make a huge improvement to a room.  You can re-grout a tub that is starting to look a little dingy or add new handles to cabinets or pulls to drawers and change the whole feel of a room.  


These tips are very easy ones that will cost you little to nothing, and they will go a long way in keeping your luxurious home at the Lake of the Ozarks looking its very best.  Take great care of the house that you live in, and you just may never want to move again!
