When it comes to adding value to your home, there are a few ways you can do this. There are always certain aspects of a property that will benefit from having a little bit more money spent on them to really add the wow factor to any home.
Whether you are wanting to simply remodel the family home to accommodate you and your family or you are looking to add value with plans to sell in the near future, check out these 3 ways you can add value to your home when you choose to remodel.
Bathroom
We spend a lot of time in our bathrooms for various reasons. Having a modern and well-fitted bathroom can add value to your home if done correctly – bathroom remodels can help not only add value but create a more functional space that works well for the whole family.
Depending on your home and the size, you can choose different options and combinations of baths, shower enclosures or showers over baths or even add in a vanity top surround your sink area to give you extra storage.
Take it one step further by looking if you can add an en-suite into the master bedroom. This proves popular with buyers, especially in bigger family homes.
Kitchen
The kitchen is the heart of the home and worthy of being the one room you spend more money on when it comes to remodeling work. You want to create a functional and practical space that is welcoming suitable to fit everyone in. Think hidden storage and integrated appliances to help you maximize the use of small spaces and create a uniformed flush look that flows.
Create an island counter in the center of bigger kitchens for a central hub where people can gravitate to or even a breakfast bar for a more informal place to eat other than the dining table. Add a statement light piece to really create that wow factor and pull the whole room together.
Make it bigger by extending out into the garden area and opening up walls to give easy access from the kitchen to the garden and allow light to flood in.
When planning a Kitchen Remodeling, keep in mind that your habits and routines should be taken into consideration. Sometimes. it is easy to fall for the trap of picking a design just because it looks amazing. However, the kitchen is one of the rooms of the house that you will be using the most.
If this is your first time remodeling your kitchen, speaking to a professional designer or agency can help you identify the hidden potential of your room, as well as some solutions to make the space more efficient.
Lastly, since you will be introducing new implants and appliances, don’t forget about making your home a little more energy-efficient. Indeed, you now have the opportunity to swap an old fried or oven for a greener option or substitute the gas stove for induction cooktops – the most energy-efficient solution for your kitchen.
While these implementations might require a more significant initial investment, you will be saving on your electricity or gas bills for many years to come. All this, while doing something amazing for the planet and enjoying a stylish and efficient modern kitchen.
Loft or Cellar Conversion
Adding extra space to any home is always an added bonus. Check you can get permission for the work you want to carry out before you move ahead. This will mean you are taking on renovation work legally. Turning your loft space into an extra bedroom, playroom or office space will instantly add value to your home, potentially up to 15% of the value of your home. While you are at the top of the house, it’s also worth looking into improving the outside; your home’s roof offers not just a crowning glory to a handsome exterior, but also protection against the elements. Speaking to the likes of Hometown Roofing ATX will offer you the opportunity to make an improvement that any potential buyer will appreciate.
The same applies to a basement area too. Turn your unused space into another useable room will not only benefit your family but also add value for when you come to sell. This could be the perfect place for family members to stay when they visit, hang out space for children or teens or simply an extra utility room. Use it for storage, laundry or even a home gym!
