5 Easy Renovations To Increase The Value Of Your Home
If you are thinking of selling your home in the future, you most likely have some home renovation ideas. In our experience when working with clients and seeing the home market, some of the best renovations to increase the value of your home are simple.
Upgrade your cabinets
Most homes have a standard color cabinet (i.e. brown) and this can make homes seem outdated and less desirable for buyers. If you hire a company to come in and change the style of cabinets and/or paint them, it will make your kitchen and bathroom spaces look more modern.
Change your countertops
Like with cabinets, most countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms are basic and were installed when the house was first built. If you want to change the feel of the home, changing your countertops is an easy choice. We’ve seen clients go for a sleek all white countertop, or even go bold with black. Whatever the choice, upgrading the countertops changes the feel of each space and gives it a more modern feel.
Finish the backyard
Many homes have unfinished backyards or very simply done landscaping. By having a well done backyard with planters, seating area, fire pit, grass, etc. the value of the house will almost instantly increase, as most people don’t want to come into a home and have to do it. Plus it will make your home feel finished, whether you are trying to sell it or live in it.
Plan for a custom closet
Most closets in homes are functional, but very rarely add any value to the home itself. However, if you decide to do a custom closet with shelving, drawers, etc. this will add value to your home as it’s a feature everyone would love to have, but is very rarely done in homes.
Add an accent wall
We are big fans of an accent wall, as this kind of wall becomes the feature in any room and adds a specific style to the area. An accent wall can be wood, tile, wallpaper, etc. and is meant to be similar to art and home decor; to add personality to the space.
Well there you have it. 5 renovation ideas that can improve and increase the value of your home when you choose to sell or if you want to make it your forever home. One final piece of advice we have is to hire a professional, so that you can have peace of mind that any or all of these are done right and done well.
