Hello World! Welcome Friends! When looking to make updates and upgrades to your home, many people focus on ways to increase the value of their home. It makes sense. Even if you’re not planning on selling anytime soon, investing in your house is worth it. But you should also focus on making your home more comfortable, especially if a sale isn’t happening anytime soon.
There are many ways to improve the comfort level in your house while factoring in your home’s value and ways to increase it. Pairing these things together ends up being a win-win scenario. We’ve put together a list of ways to improve the comfort of your home while increasing its value. Let’s take a look.
Update Windows and Doors
New windows and doors have a variety of benefits. Unlike their older counterparts, newer windows and doors are better insulated, and when they come with energy ratings, they are much more energy efficient. This increase in energy efficiency lowers your energy use and is better for the environment, which helps with the value of your house. However, it also helps with the comfort level.
If you are constantly shivering in the winter, even with the heat blasting, or in the summer, your house never seems to feel cool even with the air conditioning working overtime, there’s a good chance you have air leaks around your windows and doors. Installing new models will likely make an immediate difference in the comfort you feel.
While the cost of triple glazed windows is higher than double glazed windows, they also come with increased insulation performance, so you may want to consider upgrading to triple glazed if you live in a colder climate or are particularly sensitive to drafts.
We haven’t even mentioned that new doors and windows are also visually pleasing and help to add to your home’s curb appeal.
Install Heated Flooring
You know that feeling in the winter when you wake up and know you have to get up, but you’re warm and cozy under the covers and know how cold the floor will be on your feet. Enter radiant heat flooring. It’s installed below the floor, warming the room from the bottom with evenly distributed heat.
It’s easy to see how this upgrade can add to your home’s comfort and luxurious feeling, but it also adds value. Radiant heat flooring is often more energy efficient and is quite the draw amongst buyers.
Add Kitchen Storage
It may seem less obvious than other upgrades, but lacking storage space can cause a lot of stress. Solving this problem makes your home better suited to your lifestyle and more comfortable. Adequate storage is also one of the top thing’s buyers look at in a new home.
One place where you don’t want to be short on storage is the kitchen. That’s one of the main reasons real estate agents tell sellers to clear everything off the counter when buyers come around for a viewing. People want to know that everything can fit in the cupboards.
Adding specialty organizing solutions like organizers and moveable shelves helps make sure the storage doesn’t come at the expense of convenience and ensures you’re making the most of the storage you have.
Try implementing these tips to increase the value of your home while investing in comfort.
