Almostâ every person wishesâ to own their own home.
Americans still believe that thoâugh it is the largest purchase of their lifeâ,â it remains the wisest purchase as well. It is not just the wisdomâ âof a good investment..â. but alsoâ a sense of pride of having a home of their own.
âResearchers tell us early in life âthis usuallyâ becomes a goal.â Experts also tell us that âpeople plan to spend money on their home within the next year. The figure has risen to almost 70% of homeownersâ seeking to improve their home.
Here are some areas to think about when wanting to improve the value of your home:
Curb appeal is always important. A new door is a great way to improve the front of the house. It is good to remember steel doors can âappear to be woodâenââ doors and theyâ provide a higher level of security.
Organization is a huge improvement to your home. Take a visit to a organization retailer and look for shoe organizersâ for closets and other spacesââ, catch-all organizers in TV room closets âthat will âkeep games and accessories like Xbox out of sight. Bins and baskets hide the clutter in the pantry area of the kitchen and inside cabinets. Cabinet organizers can actually make it easier to find items when preparing food. Using these items will create a feeling of spaciousness and âcleanliness.
âNew technology …âAdding a programmable thermostat adds value and saves you money at the same time. This item will pay for itselfâ in a few short weeks/months.â The added convenience of it is a real bonus.
Replacing outdated cabinet hardware will give a new updated look to the kitchenââ and bathroomsâ So easy to change out and economical in the big box retail stores.
Give a facelift to your bathroom by putting in a new floor. Easy to install yourself but even economical when hiring someone to do for you.
âUpdate the master bath shower. It is an area that is used each day and you may enjoy a newer more spa-like function and look. There are lots of ideas in home improvement stores for you to choose from. You can change a little at a time or do a complete facelift. It is money well spent!
âBrighten the mud room or entry if it appears dark and in need of a new coat of paint. You can also hang pictures and baskets to âlighten the area where friends and family enter your home. Make your guests & family feel welcome with a cheerful decor whether the enter through the front or back door!
As always, I am here to help you with suggestionsâ for home improvementsââ that will ââaddâ more value to your home …
