Before any major renovations, many homeowners are concerned with how their changes may affect resale value should they decide to move. One rule of thumb most homeowners can follow is that designing with increased functionality in mind is usually a good idea. Changes that increase space and storage are some of the smartest renovations.
Built-in Cabinets
Built-in cabinetry continues to be very popular with homebuyers. They give a space character and provide storage without adding to the clutter like storage chests or moveable furniture can. For sellers, it shows that storage is important and not an afterthought.
Mudroom
Mudrooms are (once again) steadily climbing the list of popular home features. These “drop zones” are especially attractive in areas that can experience inclement weather at certain times of year. Mudrooms are defined by their storage, easy-to-clean durable flooring, and in more modern times, media centers complete with charging stations.
Home Office
If 2020 taught us nothing else, many of us learned the importance of the flexibility to work from home and even as we begin to put COVID behind us, this trend is unlikely to disappear. With that in mind, a productive home work space in increasingly important for many of us. Please note that a home work space does not necessarily mean converting an entire room for this purpose. Many homeowners have added this space to kitchens, living rooms and even closets.
