5 Ways to Increase Your Home’s Value With Interior Design

If you’re in the process of selling your home, you’re probably looking for ways to enhance its appeal to get the value it deserves.

Before you start knocking down any walls or go into full reno mode, take a look around and consider how you can improve your space with as little mess as possible. You’d be surprised how much you can accomplish with a few minor improvements.

Whether you’re sourcing some help or taking a DIY approach, here are five ways you can increase your home’s value through interior design.

1. Pull Out Your Paint Brush

One of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to improve a home is with paint. A fresh coat of paint creates a clean and updated look that’s sure to impress potential buyers and increase the value of your home. Neutral colors like beige, gray, and white tend to be the most sought after because of their versatility, which also helps buyers better visualize their own look and feel for the home.

2. The Recipe to a Beautiful Home

For many, the kitchen is the heart of the home so if you’re planning to spend any money on improvements, this is definitely the place to start. The good news is, you don’t need a hefty budget to see this through. Simple upgrades like swapping cabinet hardware, changing light fixtures or adding in some additional storage are just a few ways to elevate the space. This refreshing kitchen remodel by Driven by Decor is the perfect example of how to take an outdated kitchen and liven it up with a few modern tweaks and changes. 

3. A Small But Mighty Space

Bathrooms are typically the smallest spaces in a home, but offer so much opportunity when it comes to design. If your current bathroom needs a little facelift, consider installing an accent wall to expand the space, switching up the light fixtures for optimal brightness, or replacing outdated vanities with something more modern. The Provence Single Vanity from ModShop is a gorgeous piece with a sleek marble-top finish and plenty of hidden storage space.

4. Make Your Space Look Bigger

Regardless of your home’s square footage, there’s an abundance of ways to make your home look and feel bigger than it actually is. If your home is on the smaller side, it all comes down to choosing the right accessories and furniture. To achieve this, consider replacing heavy drapery with more sheer and lightweight materials, add in floor mirrors to expand the space and/or declutter any unnecessary items that don’t serve a purpose. When positioning your furniture, be sure to avoid blocking areas that provide natural sunlight and keep walkways as open as possible.

5. Reinvent The Space 

This is your chance to think outside the box and offer alternative functions for the spaces in your home. If you have an extra bedroom, consider transforming this space into a home office so that potential buyers can have an idea of what the room is capable of.

If you have a vacant room in your basement, why not turn it into a game room for entertainment or a private home gym and/or yoga space. Offering unique features like these will encourage buyers to see the versatility of the home and increase its perceived value.
