Adopt an open-concept layout. Tear down some walls inside the house, and see how nice it is to enjoy so much space, which in Hawaii is greatly valued. An open-concept layout makes for a bright and airy vibe, even when you are accommodating many guests. The key to succeeding with this layout is clearly defining each area, but this time, not with entire slabs of wood or concrete. Moreover, organize all your furniture, and go for multi-purpose or modular items to save on space. For instance, choose cabinets whose tops can double as side tables. Or large ceramic pots that serve both as ornaments and also as space divider.
Acquire new artwork. An artwork is not only a thing of beauty. It can also tie the look of a room together, and break up a plain wall. When a homeowner invests in a good painting, or a sculpture, they are also assuring themselves of interesting conversations around it, for when they are hosting friends. What is important is for it to be of the right subject, color palette, and size, too. This way, they will not be overwhelming to the viewer, and draw all the attention in the room.
Update the doors and windows. Prospective investors will surely appreciate an update on the doors and windows, which would be among the first things they will be seeing. A fresh coat of paint or a refinishing would be nice, as well as a replacement of the hinges. Window frames may also be changed if the existing ones are already rusty and worn down. French doors will be a great update, too, as they afford more view of the beautiful environs.
Go beyond the surface. Creaking floors, plumbing issues, electrical problems, gas leaks. These are concerns that will easily turn a home buyer off, but which can be addressed with a thorough approach to renovation. Devote some resources towards checking all these out, before an inspector beats you to it.
