Hello World! Welcome Friends! Adding the wow factor to your home can take many different forms. For some people, it can be the addition of eye-catching artwork or statement pieces of furniture; for others, it’s the colors and style of the decor that add wow. But what if you’re looking for something more? Something built into the fabric of the home that really elevates the structure and features and gives you a more functional statement that you can enjoy?
Well, you’re in luck. This post is here to enlighten you on some ways you can add the wow factor to your home and increase your enjoyment and satisfaction (and even the value).
Rooftop Living Space
Do you ever dream of opening the doors to your bedroom and savoring your morning coffee on a balcony with a view of your backyard or the local area? You’re not alone. While movies have often romanticized this, creating the perfect balcony space at home is not just a dream; it’s a potential reality that can bring you immense personal enjoyment.
Consider the personal enjoyment that a rooftop living space can bring to you. If you’re considering an extension or your home design allows for it, a rooftop living space can be a fantastic way to add the wow factor. You can create your perfect balcony overlooking your yard by choosing the right type of flat roofing installation that can handle frequent use and footfall. This elevated position allows you to enjoy your home and outdoor space in a unique way, enhancing your overall living experience.
Increased Lighting
Transform your home with the power of light. Flooding your home with natural lighting is a fantastic way to create a show-stopping home that catches everyone’s attention. Adding floor-to-ceiling windows or sliding doors on the back of the property can work well for small homes or those with low ceilings. Removing internal walls to increase light flow can also be beneficial. You might want to look at adding in skylights, corner windows, glazed gables, and more to open up your home and illuminate the space with natural light that not only creates a stunning visual appeal to the structure but also bathes the interior in light that can be mesmerizing and uplifting.
Indoor Outdoor Living
Discover the value of indoor-outdoor living and utilize this concept for an exceptional wow feature for your home. Indoor-outdoor living essentially means creating a seamless living experience from your home to your garden. It’s about opening up your home to the outside in a way that blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a continuous flow of living space.
This is often achieved via using bi-fold or folding roots to open up the exterior of the property to the outdoor space as you move from a kitchen, for example, a decked area, and into the garden. You want your immediate outdoor space to feel like an extension of the home, an extra room if you will, and in reality, this can really add impact and a talking point. Plus, being able to increase usable space and increase livable square footage can boost the value of your home and be extremely enticing to potential buyers if you plan to sell.
Dramatic Stairway
If the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a dramatic stairway is a grand entrance and central staircase that breaks into two halfway up to serve two different wings of the house, then you’re not alone and have quite possible watched too many movies. However, this is typcially what people think of when they want a dramatic stairway. But not everyone lives in a home that can accommodate such a grand staircase. But that doesnt means you can add wow to your home with your existing staircase.
Even if you don’t have a grand entrance or a central staircase that breaks into two wings, you can still add a wow factor to your home with your existing staircase. Look at the shape and size of your staircase and consider what you can do to give it a complete renovation.
You might add storage underneath for a more functional space, add lighting to the handrail or backsteps, remove the handrail to add a glass panels, make the steps appear to be floating, use the wall aside from the stairs to hang art or paint a picture or story on the steps for a unique look. The humble staircase doesn’t need to be boring and functional; it can form an integral part of your home design and really capture everyone’s attention as soon as they set foot on the property.
Landscaping
Wow doesn’t just need to be contained indoors or as part of the building itself. You can use the outdoor area of your home to create a unique vibe and statement regardless of the space you have. Even the smallest of yards can become a feature in their own right and really make your home extra special. You just need to get creative with what you have.
If you have an extensive yard, using landscaping services to help bring it to life can be a good idea. Landscaping can significantly increase the curb appeal and value of your home, potentially providing a high return on investment. Alternatively, for a smaller yard, getting out a paintbrush, using vertical space to hang plants or artwork, using lights, upcycling old products, and adding in pots or features like awnings or gazebos can help you turn your boring space into an outdoor wonderland that really improves the look and feel of your property and allows you to create a stunning oasis that compliments your home and your personal style.
There you go. 5 effective ways to add the wow factor to your home in a more permanent way. While not all of these options will be suitable for everyone, nor should standout features be incorporated in every way possible, choosing one or two options to add wow and create focal points can really help you elevate your property and create a home that you love and can enjoy every single day.
