When selling your home, a nice kitchen can be a huge plus for home buyers.  If you are feeling like your kitchen isn't up to par, there are plenty of ways to make it more appealing to buyers on a low (or even no) budget. 

Below are five tips and tricks from HGTV to give your kitchen a quick makeover.

1.  Kill the Clutter in Storage Areas
Clear all that clutter out, even if you have to store some stuff in boxes.  Same goes for the counter.  The eye is drawn to counter space.  Maybe sure you have some!

2.  Help Traffic Flow
Make sure people can easily move throughout the area.  Take out extra chairs, rolling carts, etc. to maximize the flow.

3.  Color the Counters
If you can't afford a trendy new granite or stainless steel counter, consider painting your tired laminate in an updated shade like a terra cotta color.

4.  Cover up Floor Flaws
Make sure you clean all of the floors and carpets.  If the floor is worn in spots, consider an area rug.

5.  Wash the Windows
Emphasize your kitchen's natural light with freshly washed windows and extend the effort to the window coverings, too, by dry cleaning fabric treatments and washing wood blinds.
