If you’ve ever wondered, Do mirrors make a room look bigger? the answer is a resounding, Yes. Mirrors can make your room look larger and more open. Use a focal point and angle your mirrors toward it to give the illusion of depth. Mirrors also reflect both natural and artificial light to make a room brighter during the day and night. Placing a mirror near a window to reflect the world outside is especially effective. Mirrors on the walls and glass table tops also will give... your room a more open feel, or use mirrored cabinet doors. Ever considered mirrors on the floor? That’s another clever way to make a room look bigger. Want to know what your home is worth in today’s market? We offer free home assessment! Contact Tracy at the Lauriente Real Estate Group today!

Need more storage space in your kitchen for your growing collection of cookware, tableware, and supplies? You don’t have to do a renovation or even add a new table or cupboard. Here are a few simple ideas: Pantry dividers. These enable you to store baking sheets, cutting boards and platters in an upright position, effectively doubling the storage capacity of that area. Removable wine rack. This is simply an X made with wood and then slid into a cabinet space. You can make o...ne yourself or find one that’s the right size at a kitchenware or home improvement store near you. Hanging baskets. These are ideal for storing cooking utensils, fruit, vegetables, pasta and other items. Hanging rod. This is similar to a towel rack, except you use S-shaped hooks which you can find at any home improvement store to hang pots, pans and other items. Restaurant kitchens often use these. High shelving. A shelf installed high up the wall near the ceiling that wraps around the kitchen and dining area, can easily double your storage space. There are many other products on the market that can help you make the most of your kitchen space. Look for options at your local home improvement or kitchenware stores.

BUYER TIPS // You Don't Need 20% Down Payment To Purchase A Home! For years, putting 20% down was considered the golden rule in real estate. However, fortunately, that is no longer the case. These days, most loan programs - especially government-backed programs like FHA and VA - only require between 3.5% and 5% for a down payment. That said, if you have the means, making a larger down payment than what’s required can be beneficial. For one, if you put 20% down, you won’t ...have to pay additional mortgage insurance. For another, putting down a larger down payment can be an effective way to lower your monthly payment overall. For more information on the process, feel free to contact me for your free buyers guide on what the Lauriente Real Estate Group can do for you!

No need to worry about getting ready to show your home, here are 6 tips to wow potential buyers without breaking the bank: Maximize your curb appeal and clean up the front yard. As the first thing potential buyers will see, the outside should draw people inside. Choose neutral colour palette if you repaint. Neutral colours help potential buyers visualize themselves living in the space.... Let there be light! Open the blinds and draw the curtains to naturally brighten up a room. Clear off the flooring. Be sure to tidy up and put away any excess stuff on the floor to showcase the true size of a space. Plus, a tidy home looks bigger and attracts buyers better! Invest in your kitchens and bathrooms. If you put any money down to small reno’s before showing your home, do them in the kitchen or bathrooms. As the most active rooms of a home, potential buyers will be more attracted to your home with updated kitchens and bathrooms! It's all in the details. Before showings, pick up some fresh flowers for the kitchen table and spray Fabreeze to create a fresh atmosphere for potential buyers. Are you ready to get in on the market?

With lengthening days and milder temperatures in many parts of the country, April is a wonderful time to freshen up the home inside and out. Here are 5 tasks to make the most of the first full month of spring Scrub Trashcans & Recycling Bins Your trashcans get grimy the longer you use them, and this accumulation of gunk, dried liquids, and old food causes a stink in your kitchen and spreads outward. Take advantage of the fresh nice weather by taking them outside and give ...them a good scrubbing! De-lint Your Dryer Lint can get caught up in your dryer and can cause your dryer to have to work harder to dry your clothes. It can also become a fire risk. Get out your trusty vacuum and suck out whatever is caught up in your dryer and dryer duct. Check Your Basement If your basement is flood-prone, make sure your sump pump is working properly, and any noticeable cracks are caulked. Get any important items off the floor and onto shelves if you can. Wash Your Windows When it's nice enough to keep the windows open, clean the glass so it sparkles and let's in the sunshine. If you have window blinds, get rid of the dust that's settled over the winter. Also, give your curtains a good wash and air dry in the warm weather. Clean The Gutters Its always good practice to check your gutters for any clogs and clean out leaves. You'll prevent water damage to your home, and keep your plants from washing away when hit with a big storm. Contact Tracy at the Lauriente Real Estate Group for all your real estate needs!

#HomeRenoTip Thursday! When doing home renovations, there is bound to be somethings that just can't be removed (like this air duct featured within this newly renovated basement). With a little creativity and a splash of paint - turn those original eye soars to featured accent pieces within your renovation! Painting this air duct a baby pink adds to the interior design of the basement rather than taking away from it! . .... . . . . #tipthursday #laurienterealestategroup #realestateagent #exprealty #princegeorgerealtor #pgrealtor #realestateprincegeorge #okanaganrealestate #okanaganliving #forsale #justlisted #justsold #exprealtor #househunting #houseforsale #homeforsale #realestatelifestyle #realestateexperts #realestateinvesting #realestatetips #beautifulbc #design #livingroom #newhome #architecture #homesweethome #interiordesign #homereno See more

As the days get shorter and colder, it’s time to start getting your home ready for winter. Here are a few simple things you can do to prevent winter damage and keep your home warm and comfortable all season long! Check the Roof: Look for damaged, loose, or missing shingles that may cause leakage during winter storms. Clean the Gutters: Clogged gutters can back up against the house and damage roofing, siding, and wood trim which may lead to leaks. ... Divert Water: Add extensions to downspouts so that water runs at least 3 to 4 feet away from the foundation. Turn Off Exterior Faucets: Un-drained water in pipes can freeze, which will cause pipes to burst as the ice expands. Start by disconnecting all garden hoses and draining the water that remains in the faucets. Mulch Leaves When You Mow: Mow your leaves instead of raking them, so then you can cut the leaves, while dry, into dime-sized pieces that will fall among the grass blades, where they will decompose and nourish your lawn over the winter. Stow Your Mower: When you store your mower for the season, any remaining fuel in the engine is likely to decompose, causing difficulties when you try to start the engine. Running the engine of its last bit of fuel will keep it running longer come springtime. Test Your Sump Pump: Slowly pouring several gallons of water into your sump pump every few months will ensure it is working properly for when it's actually needed.
