Many homeowners want to increase the value of their homes, especially if they want to put them on the market. There are various ways to increase that value, even if you aren't ready for a kitchen or bathroom makeover. While those two upgrades are the greatest value-raisers, there are other ways to increase your home's value without a big remodel. Let's look at five of them.
- Put on a new garage door. Putting on a new garage door is one thing many people don't automatically think of to improve things around their homes. Garage doors take a lot of wear and tear and aren't usually on the top of the to-do list unless they stop functioning. However, replacing your garage door increases the home's curb appeal and value. In addition, garage door updates can add color and interest to the home's exterior.
- Increase the energy efficiency of your home. Saving energy hits two big goals in raising the value of your home because it saves money and is environmentally friendly. If you can find ways to make your home MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT, it's all beneficial, even if you have an upfront investment. Do your research and find things that have been found effective through testing and empirical evidence.
How to Increase Energy Efficiency
Some ways to increase energy efficiency include adding smart components to control room temperature and electric light usage. Another great upgrade is installing new windows with a higher degree of energy saving. Once the windows are in, choose window treatments that allow or prevent entering light or provide a temperature barrier. To help you decide what type of window coverings will work best for your situation, contact your knowledgeable and proficient experts at Southwest Blinds & Shutters.
- Refresh the finishes in your home. We often think of bigger home improvements and overlook the easier, minor changes that can make a significant difference. Think about things like painting interior walls with neutral colors and accenting with window coverings. Consider the ambiance you’re trying to create in your home. Sheer shades diffuse light and create an elegant feel to any room.
- Don't forget about the exterior of your home. Keep your lawn and landscaping neat and maintained. Install beautiful backdoors and add some outdoor shades to protect you from that summer heat. Blow people away the minute they see your home and entice them to walk through the threshold of the place you call home.
- Minimize your ability to create messy spaces. We’ve all seen the unpleasant aesthetic of bunched-up blinds because we’ve struggled one too many times or walked into a cluttered room. Add beautiful cabinetry for an abundance of storage options and due away with the hassle of cords by upgrading to motorized window treatments.
