You have many options to update your home, making it more comfortable for you and your lifestyle. But which renovations can also increase the value of your property?
Let's take a look at six home improvement ideas that will make your home more comfortable and increase its value.
1. Bathroom Remodel
A bathroom renovation can make a massive difference to the space's functionality and look, even if you have a tight budget. Resurfacing or replacing the tub, wall and floor tiles, the bathroom basin, vanity unit, and fixtures are all examples of cosmetic renovations.
On the other hand, a significant renovation can involve altering walls and moving plumbing to replace the toilet, bathtub, and vanity. A considerable renovation means that everything must be taken out and rebuilt. Significant renovations are often necessary because your current layout isn't working for you, or you desire more luxurious fixtures and fittings.
2. Landscaping
When you are selling your home, curb appeal is vital. It's essential to keep your front yard well-kept and attractive. It is also possible to remove weeds and dead plants, trim or cut bushes and trees that block natural light from your home, and add new, healthy plants.
3. Kitchen Remodel
You can do a minor renovation to keep the floor plan the same or make significant changes to the layout. You can make minor improvements by refacing the cabinets, changing the handles, and replacing the benchtops.
You can also knock down walls to create an open-plan kitchen. Upgrade your kitchen tap to a modern pull out one and invest in a new kitchen sink. Don't forget to check the pipes and the sink waste when remodeling your kitchen.
4. Painting Exterior
If it has been 20 years since you painted your exterior, it will most likely be worn and damaged. If you have a tight budget, it doesn't take long to paint your exterior. However, hiring a professional to paint your exterior is possible if your budget is high. Consider updating the exterior colour scheme of your home to be more modern while still keeping your home's style in mind. You can add value to your home by painting the exterior.
5. Deck Addition
Depending on how bad your deck is, you might be able to replace a few of the timbers or a new stain or paint. You can extend the deck to the side of your house if it needs total replacement. More decking would increase the value.
6. Window Replacement
If you replace small windows with large expanses, your home will be more valuable. It is a brilliant idea to replace your windows with energy-efficient products that help maintain a steady temperature throughout the year.
