5 ways to improve your home

Posted on: Monday, February 12, 2024

Renovating your home is a great way to keep things feeling fresh and stylish while also adding some extra value to your property. Here are five tips on how to improve your home, increase its market value, and entice potential buyers.   

Modernise the kitchen and bathroom  

Modernising your kitchen and bathroom can make you fall in love with your home all over again. One way to do this is by upgrading your kitchen appliances to the latest stylish and energy-efficient models. Not only will this add a contemporary touch to your kitchen, but it will also save you money on your monthly bills. As for the bathroom, you can update the tilework and lighting to create a more luxurious ambience. Trendy accessories such as patterned towels, trendy soap dispensers, and a stylish rug can really elevate your bathroom into the modern day. 

Create a home office  

If you’re looking to transform your living space into a productive haven, you could benefit from creating your very own office in your home. Once you have decided on a quiet part of your home where there will be minimal distractions, you can start to plan what you need in your home office. A comfortable desk and chair combination that promotes good posture is key if you’re planning to spend long hours getting work done in your office. To add your own style and flair to the space, consider adding accessories such as a bookshelf, plants, and some pictures of loved ones.  

Convert your loft  

Converting your loft not only adds some much-needed space to your home but also unlocks a world of possibilities. You could create a cosy guest bedroom for your friends and family to use when they stay over, meaning you will no longer have to worry about scrambling for sleeping arrangements when they visit. If you already have room for guests, you could turn your unused attic into a stylish sitting room where you can relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You could even add a skylight window to watch the stars at night. 

Fit new flooring 

Upgrading your flooring can have a significant positive impact on your home, both aesthetically and financially. Hardwood and laminate flooring both add a touch of elegance and sophistication to a property and are also incredibly durable, making them perfect for the busier areas of your home. These types of flooring are also much easier to clean and maintain, saving you valuable time and effort. Fitting new flooring also increases the value of your property, strengthening your negotiation power if you decide to sell sometime further down the line. With plenty of styles and finishes available, you are sure to find something that matches your interior design scheme. 

Build an extension  

Another way to improve your home by creating more living space is by building an extension. You could build an airy new conservatory where you can sit back and enjoy the sun from within the comfort of your own home. Alternatively, you could build a dining room where you and your loved ones can enjoy meals together and host parties. If you really want to think outside the box, why not build a home cinema or pool room to bring some entertainment to your home? Whatever you decide, an extension is sure to add some extra value to your home.

I would highly recommend Hardings Estate Agents. They have excellent knowledge of Windsor and the surrounding areas, and are extremely professional, responsive and courteous. I would not hesitate to using them again the future. I recently dealt with Milica who was instrumental in securing us our new home in Windsor as well as the sale of our existing property. She was a fab negotiator and a real pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Thank you!

Hardings of Windsor managed our purchase with complete professionalism and went over and above in my opinion to manage the transaction and chain, resulting in a really smooth purchase. Milica at Hardings constantly provided timely updates and managed respective solicitors and the chain effectively, always responding quickly to queries. The whole transaction would not have happened without Milicas' focus on making all parties comfortable and satisfying all queries, not only professional but a delightful and welcoming personal approach that was a constant throughout. Thanks Hardings! Thanks Milica!

I would recommend using Hardings estate agents when buying or selling your property. Dominic (Scully) was always available, helpful and genuinely interested in my purchase and always calm and compassionate. If I ever move again my first choice will be Hardings.

Dom and the team at Hardings were so helpful and efficient when I purchased my flat - friendly and professional service and kept us up-to-date the whole way through the process. It was my first time buying and so was very nervous but they helped me feel at ease.

We recently purchased our new home with Hardings Estate Agents. The whole team there were very helpful and flexible with us, arranging viewings quickly on the same day. They were always quick to respond and if ever our point of contact was not there, the service did not change as they work well together as a team. We received a personalised service, which allowed the sale to proceed quickly. Thank you all and we recommend Hardings Estate Agents without hesitation.

What a pleasure it was to deal with Milica from Hardings. She sourced the perfect property for me and my family (while we were still abroad) and worked endlessly to put the deal together. I would give more than 5 stars if at all possible!
