Given that the price of housing
is on the rise in Australia, it’s a wise decision to maintain your home, even
if you don’t plan on selling it in the near future.
And with 2018 just around the corner,
there isn’t a more perfect time than right now to think about what kind of
renovations will be most effective when it comes to improving your lifestyle
and increasing the value of your property.
If you’re struggling to make a
decision on what’s best for your home, the following are some easy and
affordable home renovations to choose from;
Create
Space
Getting rid of unnecessary
clutter is the first step you should take when trying to make your home more
appealing.
Do not leave a stone unturned
when cleaning each room in your home. Yes; that means making sure all your
cupboards are emptied of rubbish, under your bed is cleared and that your
closet is emptied of all unnecessary items. Once you’ve done all of that, you’d
be surprised by how much space you can create.
If you’re still feeling like
you’re tight on space, think about investing in first floor additions or second floor additions for your Sydney
home and you’ll get to enjoy much more space and a higher ROI should you decide
to sell.
Increase Natural
Light
When you have cleared out your
clutter, it’s time to introduce as much natural light as you can into your
living area to make it brighter, airier and a more pleasant space to spend time
in.
Top tips for introducing more
natural light include;
1.
Paint your walls a nice shade of
off-white instead of brilliant white and dark colours as it will reflect the
natural light instead of absorbing it.
2.
Choose fixtures with glossy finishes
and utilise the power of mirrors, glass and other reflective surfaces where
possible.
3.
If carpet is your flooring of choice,
always go with light-coloured carpets instead of darker.
4.
Stone, wooden or ceramic floors with
a polished finish are the best choices of flooring.
Front Door
Entrance
Having a front door and
entrance way that wows everyone that enters through them will massively
increase the value of your home.
To get the best bang for your
buck, we suggest investing in a door that’s made from a top quality material
(steel, fibreglass or wood) and putting great effort into designing a luxurious
hallway that will give your guest’s a wow impression when entering your home.
And that
completes our list of home renovations that will most increase the value of
your home.
From big
projects such as investing in first floor additions
in Sydney to de-cluttering your entire home, there’s definitely something on
this list to keep you busy in 2018!
