Renovating your home is a great way to add value to your property, or simply upgrade your current living space. Your home is where you spend a lot of your time, and is supposed to feel like a sanctuary, a space where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Renovating your home provides you with the opportunity to personalise the living space. If you are thinking of selling your property, renovation projects can make it much more attractive to buyers.
Before you get started
Start by creating a plan and seeking professional support. You should also consider the disruption to your home, and how you are going to operate while work is being done, especially in key areas such as your kitchen and bathroom. You should also take steps to ensure you have a good clean up procedure in place when the project is complete. Many people forget about the waste that is created when renovating a home, and it can become a frustrating and costly process. Make sure you invest in a skip hire, waste bags, and any other cleaning equipment you will need, to ensure you can efficiently clear up when you have completed the project, so that you can relax in your new home.
There are a plethora of different projects that you can invest in around your home. Here are some of the best, and most valuable renovation ideas to add value to your property.
Convert your garage
One of the least disruptive, yet one of the most valuable renovation ideas you can invest in is to convert your garage into a living space. If you have a space to park your vehicles, you could benefit significantly from a conversion, instead of using the space to store junk and old items. With the right support, you will only need to level and damp proof the floor, add insulation and install electrics. The garage can then be personalised and used as a home office, a spare bedroom, a home gym, a nursery, and much more.
Install a new kitchen
Kitchens are one of the most important rooms in the home, and a renovation can make a huge difference to how you live, as well as how attractive your home looks to potential buyers. You can rip out the entire kitchen and go for a slick modern design, or you can make upgrades around the kitchen, such as a fresh lick of paint, personalised glossy backsplashes, metallic draw handles and a new, eye-catching sink faucet.
Upgrade your bathroom
A few upgrades to your bathroom can make a world of difference. Simply painting the walls, installing LED lights and replacing your sanitaryware, can make your bathroom fresh, hygienic looking and luxurious. You can go above and beyond and update the plumbing system, install underfloor heating, add electric drying towel racks, replace tiles, install new flooring, and fit an extractor fan. You can also add aesthetic items that will increase the value, without spending a lot of money, such as strategically placing mirrors to increase the illusion of light and space, hanging artwork, and adding more plants.
Renovating your property is a great way to add value to your home, and make upgrades that change your home from basic, to luxurious.
