Luxury home upgrades can make your house more comfortable, and they can also increase value. Making some of these upgrades can help you simplify your life. Making them now can also give you enough time to enjoy them before you decide to sell. These can all help you enjoy luxury living.
Install a Lift
While you may have never thought about installing a home lift, adding one can make your life easier when you need to move items between floors. If your laundry room is not on the same level as your bedrooms, you might end up hauling baskets of clothing up and down the stairs. A home lift can eliminate this task. There are plenty of designer lifts to choose from, so you can make sure your upgrade is functional as well as stylish.
Upgrade Your Garage
Anyone purchasing a luxury home will want their house to look high-end, including the garage. Many times, home builders do not put much time into the garage, which is why it could be a great candidate for an update. Making an update can also make your house more appealing from the outside. You also likely go through your garage multiple times a day, and it is the first part of your home you walk through when you come home each day. A popular upgrade is to increase usable storage space. Cabinetry and shelving are common choices but look beyond that to see if there is any overhead space you can’t use right now. Adding overhead racks can help you use every inch, including adding a rack between the ceiling and the top of the garage door when it is open, if possible.
Add a Luxury Bathroom
The kitchen and the bathroom are two of the most upgraded areas because they are used the most. Converting your bathroom into a luxury spa experience allows you to take a rest from daily life and recharge. Adding certain amenities when remodeling your bathroom can encourage you to take more time to pamper yourself. A soaking tub that has jets can offer a hot tub like experience and allow you to engage in hydrotherapy. Many homeowners choose to get freestanding tubs. You can also create an open shower design, which means you will not need to have a door. This can make the entire space feel larger and more modern. Adding high-end stone and tile can make your bathroom feel much more relaxing, and updating the lighting can make a world of difference.
Add Home Automation
Luxury homebuyers are looking for smart devices that can simplify their lives. Installing some smart technology will give you access to voice-activated and smartphone accessible controls. There is usually a range of design features and products you can access through smart home automation. You can put in smart lighting, security, and thermostat systems, and garage door openers, sprinklers, and kitchen appliances can also come with smart features. As artificial intelligence becomes more widely used, you can expect the capabilities of these kinds of features to increase.
