If you want to increase the value of your home or your construction, you’ve come to the right place. If you are building to resell, stay here! Here are some tips for increasing the value of a home.
Add a unique space
A section with a bench is often something that is quick to catch the eye and is greatly appreciated. We can already imagine spending many hours there to create wonderful memories!
A hiding space, a reading corner softly hidden in the house often makes it stand out from others. We give it that little something that makes it impossible to miss.
Add or create rooms that are in demand
Firstly, mudrooms are extremely popular! You enter, leave your personal belongings rapidly, and are on your way. Everything has its place. Speaking of space, there’s plenty! You don’t want to have to say goodbye to guests crammed into an uncomfortable corner. We want to be able to create a warm and spacious welcome. Having a mudroom section helps to declutter the entrance and leave only the necessary.
Then there is the pantry. It is important that this area meet our needs. Some accumulate a lot of canned foods; others need space to stock up or to store food for their large family. In all cases, we want space! Having a pantry allows you to organize your food and better view the inventory. As a result, we can also reduce food waste. Bonus: add counters with outlets to hide small appliances and free up the kitchen.
Long story short, we want storage!
Plan for large windows
Who doesn’t want beautiful natural light? Even if you are located near your neighbors, large curtains are also very trendy! Having beautiful windows gives a grandiose effect to the house. It gives the wow effect that everyone is looking for.
Don’t forget the fireplace
Gas, wood, whatever, it adds character to a room. The warm atmosphere that the fireplace gives us makes us want to get together to have nice conversations, read a book, relax. This is an element that can be added, but is more expensive and difficult to add later. Think about it before construction.
Build some built-in furniture
It is part of the structure, of the architecture. It is a distinctive element that gives the impression that everything has been thought of. No need to add a piece of furniture to the decor, it is included in the house. A wine cellar is a type of “add on” that fits well into the structure of your home, just like a built-in tv section or bookcase.
Landscaping
Having bushes, nicely trimmed spaces also help to enhance the overall look of the house. It projects the image of a finished and well-maintained home. It’s welcoming and it makes you feel like you’re already at home. We can already imagine gathering our family and guests for some fresh lemonade on the terrace surrounded by a world of “green” while the children play ball.
Make sure you have a multipurpose room on the ground floor
People sometimes have different needs: office, guest room, workout room, playroom, etc. Having a medium-sized room on the ground floor that gives you the freedom to fit out the room of your choice is a big plus. For some, having a room to practice their hobby or being able to work from home is also non negotiable and necessary. Avoid disappointment with this kind of accessible multifunctional room.
All of these elements will make your home stand out in the neighborhood! To see our houses with distinctive elements, click here.
