Purchases for your home, whether a bespoke piece of furniture or a new set of triple-glazed windows can serve not only to make a living space more attractive but also increase its value. For residents who might potentially sell their home down the line, this can be a worthy consideration with each purchase being an investment.
There are, across the many interior design trends and property designs, a number of features that are much more likely to increase your property value. So, if you want to create a home that isn’t just stylish but also likely to increase in value, here are six modern features that will help.
Pantry
Having a walk-in or freestanding pantry is one of the most effective ways to make your property stand out with extra appeal and value on the property market. Likely thrown into the spotlight by an increased interest in food storage options, occurring alongside a significant demand for chest freezers, these wonderful assets are as important aesthetically as they are practical.
Underfloor Heating
Discreet, energy efficient, and fantastically luxurious, underfloor heating is one of the best investments a homeowner can make. The only reason that underfloor heating isn’t more readily taken up by residents is that it requires a floor to be renovated, with tiles or floorboards being removed first. However, those that are willing to take on such a task will find themselves with a greater degree of comfort and a home that is more attractive on the property market.
Projectors
Home entertainment is, amid technological advances, moving away from the television and increasingly toward projectors. For these to be enjoyed within living spaces to the best quality, however, they require installation, with wiring being added to a home’s infrastructure. Those who are willing to put in the foundations of advanced home entertainment, including wall-mounted surround sound systems, will find themselves growing their property’s value.
Wood-Burning Stove
Perhaps prompted by the international trend of cottagecore, wood-burning stoves have become increasingly popular with homes seeking an alternative to radiators. These assets are not only effective heaters, making use of a sustainable resource for fuel, but also aesthetically very pleasing, helping a home to look and feel cosy, especially during the winter months.
Log Cabins
Bespoke outbuildings, like log cabins, are increasingly in vogue as residents seek not only to create beautiful garden spaces but also practical ones. Their customisability and potential make outbuildings a brilliant investment for homeowners, expanding potential living space of a home to include an area that is immersed within a garden environment.
Solar Panels
The rising cost of energy is prompting an increase in alternative energy, with solar panels being one of the most sought-after investment opportunities for homeowners. In addition to reducing a property’s carbon footprint, these assets also reduce the ongoing costs associated with a property’s energy consumption, making it an appealing prospect for potential buyers.
