Every Room can Make a Difference

When many people think about updating their home, they imagine that updating the kitchen, bathroom and public areas will be the most valuable for their home’s resale value. While these hot-ticket items can certainly make a big difference, every room of the home counts. Redoing storage areas and improving less public parts of the house, such as the home office or spare room, can also help you increase your home’s value.

Garage

The garage is an important part of the home. In addition to being used for car storage, garages are often used to hold tools, holiday decorations, sentimental items, and sporting goods. Upgrading your home’s garage can help you add storage space to your home, making it possible to keep your boxes and knick knacks organized while also making your home seem less cluttered.

If your home currently has no garage and you would like to add one to your property, you could recoup between 58 and 69 percent of the cost. If you already have a garage, one of the best upgrades that you can make is one to include more storage. Ceiling-level racks, built-in shelving and built-in bins are an excellent way to make more storage space.

Closets

Closet space is important to homeowners across the board, so maximizing your home’s closet space can make a difference in its value. Adding baskets, adjustable shelves, pull out drawers and slide out basket options can turn even the smallest of closets into the most usable spaces. Using modular units whenever possible makes it easy to build up storage space over time. Modular units can also be customized to any storage space and will fit every nook and cranny of each closet area.

Office Areas

Home offices make it possible to work from home, which is a big bonus for any telecommuting homeowner. Having the right office space can add to the property’s value while enhancing the work-at-home experience. A formal home office remodel can cost around $28,000 and deliver a 49 percent ROI, but many homeowners can remodel their home office inexpensively and effectively with the addition of some attractive shelves, file drawers, cabinetry and organizers.

Getting the clutter up off the desk and off the floor can make your home office look more like rented office space, which can help create a division between home life and work life. Modular organizers, adjustable shelving, wood cabinetry and full extension file drawers also makes it easier to conduct business by helping the work from home person to stay organized.
