12 HOME RENOVATIONS THAT WILL ADD THE MOST VALUE TO YOUR HOME

Having a house is a substantial investment, and raising its worth can be a smart
choice, providing financial advantages in both the short and long run. 

Whether you’re thinking about selling your home soon or want to make it more
useful and attractive, well-planned renovations can significantly increase its
value. 



This article examines 12 significant house improvements that can increase the
value of your property, divided into two primary categories: kitchen and
bathroom upgrades.


1. UPGRADING EQUIPMENT

Swapping old or faulty equipment with newer, energy-saving versions can
significantly enhance the attractiveness and use of your kitchen. 



Contemporary devices have better performance and stylish designs that can
improve the overall aesthetic appeal and atmosphere of the area. 

For example, an old refrigerator with a large size and poor energy efficiency
can be swapped for a modern, shallower one that has automatic ice makers, water
dispensers, and improved temperature control technology. 



Choosing energy-efficient equipment also shows dedication to sustainability and
cost-effectiveness for potential purchasers.


2. ENHANCING COUNTERTOPS AND BACKSPLASHES

Swapping out countertops and backsplashes with contemporary and long-lasting
materials might result in a visible visual enhancement in your kitchen. 



Common options are granite, quartz, and stainless steel, each providing distinct
advantages. Granite provides a classic and sophisticated appearance with natural
differences in color and design. 

Quartz countertops are in high demand because they are durable, scratches and
stains resistant, and come in a variety of colors and shapes. 



Stainless steel worktops have a sleek and industrial look, which is particularly
favored in modern kitchens, and are simple to clean and care for. 

Enhancing your backsplashes with materials such as subway tile, mosaic tiles, or
glass tiles can provide a decorative element and safeguard your walls from
dampness and splashes.




3. IMPROVING CABINETRY

Upgrading your cabinetry with new doors, hardware, or paint to significantly
improve the appearance and atmosphere of your kitchen without needing a total
renovation. 

Swapping old-fashioned door types for more modern designs like flat panels or
shaker cabinets can give a stylish and up-to-date appearance.



Choosing neutral hues such as white, gray, or beige can make the area brighter
and attract a broader spectrum of consumers. 

If your cabinets are in decent shape but have an outdated look, think about
painting them in a contemporary hue. This affordable choice can lead to a
significant change, giving a new appearance without being too expensive.




4. IMPROVING STORAGE 

Contemporary kitchen designs focus on both elegance and practicality. 

Think about including more storage options such as pull-out drawers,
under-cabinet organizers, or built-in pantries to make the most of storage space
and enhance organization. 

Pull-out drawers are useful for storing pots, pans, and utensils, allowing easy
access and keeping your cabinets organized. 

Under-cabinet organizers, like spice racks or pull-out shelves, make good use of
space that usually needs to be used more effectively. 

Integrated pantries provide plenty of space for non-perishable items and pantry
essentials, helping to maintain a tidy and organized kitchen. 

Moreover, adding a kitchen island or peninsula might not just expand counter
space but also provide more storage options. 

Islands or peninsulas can also be used as extra preparation space, a breakfast
bar, or even a seating area, improving the overall functionality and
attractiveness of the kitchen.


5. ENHANCING LIGHTING 

Good lighting is essential in every kitchen, affecting both how well it works
and how it looks. 

Using a variety of lighting sources. It can help to provide enough light for
different activities and makes the space feel inviting and practical. 

Think about adding ambient lighting, like recessed lighting or pendant lights,
to provide overall illumination for the whole kitchen area. 

Task lighting, under-cabinet lights, or pendant lights above the sink or island
offer concentrated light for particular activities such as food preparation and
cooking. 

Additional lighting, like strip lights under cabinets or spotlights on artwork
or shelving, can enhance the visual appeal and establish a cozy atmosphere.


6. UPDATING SHOWER AND BATH FIXTURES

Swapping old showerheads, faucets, and bath fixtures with contemporary and
attractive options will significantly improve the attractiveness and use of your
bathroom. 

Think of adding rain showers, which provide a broader and more indulgent
showering experience. Portable showerheads offer more versatility and ease of
use, especially for people with limited mobility. 

Thermostatic shower valves provide a steady water temperature to avoid
unintentional scorching.

Installing touchless or motion-activated faucets can bring a sense of elegance
and convenience, as well as improve hygiene by reducing contact with handles. 

Upgrading old bathtub fixtures, such as faucets, showerheads, and drains, with
modern styles in chrome, brushed nickel, or matte black, can enhance the entire
appearance and atmosphere of the bathroom.


7. CHANGING THE FLOORING

Updating the bathroom floor with contemporary and water-resistant materials is
essential for both appearance and practicality. Standard options include tile,
vinyl flooring that is water-resistant, and luxury vinyl plank (LVP). 

Tile is a timeless and long-lasting choice offering range of colors, patterns,
and textures. However, it might feel chilly on the floor and prone to cracking,
especially if not appropriately put. 

Water-resistant vinyl flooring is a budget-friendly choice, imitating the
appearance of natural materials such as wood or stone while being simpler to
care for and set up. 

LVP, a vinyl flooring with interlocking planks, is gaining popularity as it is
easy to install, long-lasting, and resistant to water. It offers a floor that
looks like natural wood without the risk of warping or scratching, which can
happen with real hardwood.


8. SWAPPING VANITIES AND COUNTERTOPS

Just like kitchen makeovers, upgrading vanities and countertops in your bathroom
can significantly enhance their appearance and usefulness. 

Think about swapping out outdated vanities for contemporary styles that provide
plenty of storage, like drawers with dividers or shelves built into them. 

Choose vanities with double sinks to accommodate more than one person and
improve the practicality, especially in family bathrooms. When selecting
countertops, think about materials such as granite, quartz, or solid surface
materials. 

Granite provides a classic appearance and natural attractiveness, but it needs
to be sealed regularly. Quartz countertops are quite popular because they are
long-lasting, resistant to scratches and stains, and come in a variety of hues
and shapes. 

Solid surface materials like Corian have a smooth appearance and are
impermeable, which helps them resist bacteria and mildew, making them
well-suited for wet areas such as bathrooms. 


9. SETTING UP WALK-IN SHOWERS

Walk-in showers are growing in popularity because of their practicality and ease
of use. 

They provide a roomy and contemporary atmosphere, which makes them attractive to
a broad variety of potential customers, including older individuals and people
with mobility restrictions. 

Open showers can be personalized with different elements, such as rain
showerheads, handheld showerheads, and built-in seats, which can improve user
experience and accessibility. 

Think about adding grab bars and a handheld showerhead for extra safety and
convenience. 

Although walk-in showers usually need more room compared to standard shower-tub
combos, their practicality and attractiveness to a broader variety of purchasers
generally surpass the possible reduction in square footage. 


10. IMPROVING AIR CIRCULATION

Adequate ventilation is essential in every bathroom to avoid the moisture
accumulation and the development of mold. Make sure your bathroom has sufficient
ventilation by putting in an exhaust fan that includes a timer. 

Operating the exhaust fan while showering or bathing and for a while after can
assist in eliminating excess moisture in the air and stopping it from building
up on walls and ceilings. 

Moreover, think about utilizing natural ventilation when you can by opening
windows to let fresh air flow. 

Adequate ventilation not only stops mold from growing but also decreases
unwanted smells and promotes a healthier bathroom atmosphere. 


11. IMPROVING LIGHTING IN BATHROOM

Just like in kitchens, good lighting is essential in bathrooms for both
practicality and appearance. Utilize a variety of illumination sources, such
as: 

Overhead lighting: Offer overall lighting for the whole bathroom with
ceiling-mounted lights, like recessed lighting or flush-mount fixtures. 


TASK LIGHTING: 

Place task lights close to the vanity for personal grooming. Wall lights that
are placed on each side of the mirror or a light fixture above it offer
concentrated light for activities such as shaving, putting on cosmetics, or
grooming. 


ACCENT LIGHTING: 

Think about including accent lighting to produce a cozy and welcoming ambiance. 

This can be done by placing sconces strategically, using recessed lighting
inside the shower or above the bathtub, or even incorporating small LED lights
under the vanity. 


12. INCORPORATING SMART TECHNOLOGY

Contemporary homebuyers are more and more interested in homes that come with
smart technology. Think about including intelligent functions such as: 


AUTOMATED LIGHTING: 

Set up intelligent switches or dimmers that enable you to manage the bathroom
lights using your voice or smartphone, enhancing convenience and energy
economy. 


INTELLIGENT MIRRORS: 

These mirrors offer a range of features, such as weather updates, news
headlines, and showing the time and temperature. 


ADVANCED TOILETS: 

These toilets come with amenities such as heated seats, automated flushing, and
bidet functions, providing added comfort and convenience in the bathroom. 

Although these advanced technological improvements may require a larger initial
investment, they have the potential to enhance the attractiveness and worth of
your house in today’s market, particularly among purchasers who are
knowledgeable about technology. 


THE BOTTOM LINE

When planning renovations, focus on changes that provide the best return on
investment and find a balance between aesthetics, usefulness, and financial
considerations. 

Seeking advice from a skilled contractor will assist you in finding the most
suitable choices for your particular requirements and budget, guaranteeing that
your renovations enhance the value of your house while also providing a room
that you will enjoy.
