Tip 1: Focus On The Right Areas
While you might love the idea of a basement wine cellar, not everyone will. So, focus on the main areas of the home that are going to add value.
Traditionally these are the kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces and outdoor areas. These are the spaces that people spend the most time in, while at home. They are also the spaces that catch people’s eye when they are finished well… or turn them away if they are rundown!
Dedicate your budget to key areas of the home that are going to show you a good return.
Tip 2: Have a Budget… And Stick To It
It can be very easy to get carried away when you are renovating. Reign yourself in by setting a realistic budget for the project. Plan out what you want to achieve and how much it is going to cost you to complete each aspect.
Remember that it is all well and good to have a budget. But, you then need to stick to that budget to make it effective!
Think practically about each purchasing decision you make to ensure you don’t overcapitalise and can make a good return on your investment.
Tip 3: Shop Wisely
Hand-cut antique stone might be an attractive feature, but it is going to cost you more than you can ever expect to get back. Whereas tiles, laminate flooring, glass splashbacks or good old carpet are much more budget-friendly.
You don’t need to be overly frugal and buy the cheapest option for everything as you still need to consider quality. But, make wise choices that aren’t going to break the bank at the same time.
Tip 4: Plan For The Future
Technology is advancing every day and mindsets are shifting when it comes to how we treat our planet. Make sure you future proof your renovations with these considerations:
Sustainability: Make green decisions that will ensure your home is energy efficient. That includes plenty of insulation, double glazing, home ventilation systems, solar panels and more.
Technology: A couple of little tweaks now can ensure you offer a home of the future. Run your cabling within the walls, consider electrical vehicle charging and the plumbing for an installed fridge.
Storage: As a race, humans seem to be accumulating more and more “stuff”. We also want a tidy home we can be proud of. Therefore, clever storage solutions are always welcomed and needed!
