Top 5 Ways to Increase Your Home Value

2/23/2021

25 Comments

 
We get it! Doing a major remodel to your home can be a scary venture! Often we see that our clients number one concern when it comes to remodeling is their resale value. That’s why we’re here to help! Leave it to the experts to make sure that your resale value skyrockets. Here are our top five tips on how we can help your resale value go up.

1. Start With a Fresh Coat of Paint

Fresh paint is cost-effective and a simple job that we love to do! Updated paint colors set the mood for the room, whether it be open and bright to relaxing and cozy. Homes that stick with more neutral and up-to-date color schemes have shown to sell for higher than their counterparts.

2. Custom Builds Are All the Rage

Ok now, this one is a no-brainer! Who wouldn’t want custom pieces in their house!? Let’s be real there are TONS of great houses on the market right now. Ask yourself what makes yours unique? Custom builds make you stand out from the crowd and give you one step up against the competition.

3. The Kitchen is Your Money Maker

I know for me and my family the kitchen is the hottest spot in the house. We gather, cook, and eat family meals together there. It’s going to be your money maker. Buyers love a good open, bright and clean kitchen, let’s make sure yours is up to par!

4. The Bathroom is the Kitchens Sidekick

Every hero needs a good sidekick, right? While your kitchen is doing the hero work your bathroom needs to be its sidekick. By that I mean it needs to be the closer. Bathrooms are second to kitchen updates on return on investments so if you want to get a real bang for your buck you really can't have one without the other.

5. Curb Appeal

When buying a new house everyone loves a home that doesn’t need any remodeling to the inside. How much better would it be if it also had LOADS of curb appeal! I’m talking mowed grass, mulching, flowers, fresh paint, the whole 9 yards! (pun intended). That’s one less thing a buyer needs to worry about and will pay extra for.

#1 Color of the Year

We always love having plenty of options to choose from when finding that perfect paint color to tie the entire room together. Pantone surprised us all when they came out with two colors of the year for 2021.
Their first color is called Illuminating, their second color is called Ultimate Gray, both colors come together and support each other in the best way. 

#2 Light Woods

Move over dark wood! Lightwood is in for 2021 and for many good reasons! 2021 has us going all-natural and with light wood being in its raw state it will be a statement piece in any room! We love it for furniture, walls or flooring.

#3 Industrial Style

Who doesn’t love a good statement piece! Statement pieces don’t always have to be out of this world, they can be something as simple as a chandelier. We loved working on this kitchen remodel, the client wanted a statement piece that wouldn’t take away from the rooms neutral theme, this chandelier was the perfect addition! ​
#5 Houseplants

You don’t have to search online for very long to find out that house plants have become extremely popular. Anyone can have a green thumb with houseplants and in some cases, they have become the new version of having a pet! Whether big or small, one or a few, houseplants can spruce up any room.
#6 Statement Headboards

#7 Creating a Retreat Within Your Home

Quarantine has us all feeling stuck within our homes. The everyday motions and routines or lack thereof can great mentally draining. This is why one of the top trends of 2021 is to make a retreat spot in your house. Whether that be a beautiful bathroom to give you a spa day or a cozy corner nook we love creating a spot our clients can retreat to.
#8 Quality Craftsmanship

Consumers have seen the effect that Covid-19 had on small businesses in 2020. This has left them wanting and searching for high-quality pieces of work in their homes. Whether that be customer countertops, cabinets, or a locker design like the photo above, we are most excited about building more custom designs in 2021.
#9 Vintage Vibes

Retro features have never looked so good! 2021 brings in the new year taking it back to better times with features that are to die for! Check out this 100% shipwreck wood wall (yes, from a sunken ship!) we did for this client, vintage modern is something we love to do! 
#10 Neutrals

Of course, in 2021 neutral color schemes won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. With bright whites and warm greys, you can tie any room together with plenty of natural light.
