Home Design Elements To Increase Property Value
Design plays a critical role in any property’s value. Good design will make a space feel more inviting and comfortable to live in, making it significantly more appealing to potential buyers and investors.
In this blog, we’ll highlight eight key ways to increase your home’s property value by changing up some design elements. We’ve made sure to include a mix of simple and more extensive fixes so you can upgrade your home on any budget.
Repainting the front door
One of the simplest and most popular ways to make your home feel new—and to boost its value—is to paint the front door a different colour. You can choose a fresh, neutral colour, or something much more bold and bright.
Remember, the colours you choose for your front door are an extension of your personality and the statement you want to make to the world. It can also be a great way to attract attention and add a unique charm to your home, setting it apart from similar properties in the market.
Upgrading the bathroom
While we spend so much time in the bathroom, it’s often one of the last rooms people look to when renovating. It’s time to give your bathroom the attention and modern upgrade it deserves!
A great way to add extra functionality and a sleek, sophisticated aesthetic to your bathroom is to add a frameless shower screen. Another great design element in the bathroom is a large mirror above the sink – optionally with a cabinet to store your personal hygiene products – which is practical, adds to the aesthetic and makes the room seem bigger at the same time. With so many homes going on the market with original, outdated bathrooms, presenting your home with fresh, modern wet areas is sure to position your property leagues above the rest.
Using open shelving & display cabinets
If your kitchen is looking a little outdated, one of the simplest and most affordable ways to update its look is to add open shelving.
With an open shelf, you can display your most prized dishes and glassware while keeping them safely stored and within easy reach. Open shelving has the added benefit of making small kitchens look more spacious, which is sure to increase your home’s appeal to buyers.
Replacing curtains and blinds
Old, dusty curtains and tired blinds are a surefire way to bring a home’s value down! While they’re one of a home’s most overlooked aspects, they can have an enormous aspect on a space’s look and feel.
Simply replacing your blinds and curtains with fresh, modern varieties will improve your home’s appearance and potentially reduce energy bills, adding extra value and appeal.
Landscaping your garden
Landscaping your front garden is an excellent way to improve your property’s street appeal while improving the backyard area is one of the best ways to increase value.
Your landscape upgrades could be as simple as re-mulching your garden to planting some new trees and shrubs. It’s a smart idea to think about what’s popular in your area and plan accordingly.
Implementing a minimalistic style
Minimalism is a popular design trend and one of the key features prospective buyers look for. It also makes your home more appealing to a broader range of people and helps buyers clearly envision any personal touches they’d like to add to the home.
Replacing pool fencing
If you have a pool on your property, check the condition of your fencing. You may need to replace older fencing with a newer, more modern variety, such as glass pool fencing. A new fence will ensure your pool meets local regulations and looks great, too!
Replacing light fixtures
Replacing light fixtures is another quick and easy way to improve your home’s value. Plus, you can do it all in one weekend with minimal cost and effort! We recommend choosing energy-efficient fixtures for maximum bang for your buck.
