Everyone wants to add beauty to their home. Renovations are always an excellent way for homeowners to add their personal touch to their living space. Whether creating shelving as a fun DIY project or putting on a new paint job for the home office, homeowners enjoy showing their creativity while enhancing their house’s appearance.

There are even more extensive options for home additions that you can use, which may increase a home’s real estate value. If you’re selling your home soon, or just want to add to its market value for the future, fixtures are an excellent option. Keep in mind that the kitchen and bathroom are important areas in any home. Ensuring comfort and style in these areas is always important. A stylish renovation can offer practical and visually pleasing improvements to these spaces. Whether you're considering a Cupertino bathroom renovation or any other area, upgrading with quality fixtures can greatly enhance your property's overall appeal and value. Whether you’re looking to redesign your kitchen or to upgrade your windows with between the glass blinds, here are four fixture additions that can increase your home’s value.

1. Small Additions to the Bathroom

Fixtures are different from other home additions. Home entertainment upgrades, such as a new TV or surround sound system, can come with you after a potential move-out. Fixtures, on the other hand, are permanently attached to the ceiling, floor, or walls. However, this provides the potential benefit for fixture enhancements to raise the value of your home.

Bathrooms are one of the most essential rooms in any house. You can start here with your fixture additions. However, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on new renovations or other upgrades. Simple bathroom fixtures such as attaching a brass or steel towel rack to the wall can provide a great appearance. 

Other minor additions or replacements you can do in the bathroom yourself include:

• Installing a new shower door

• Attaching a vintage medicine cabinet to the wall

• Replacing your old bathroom faucet

• Affix more stylish mirrors above the sink

In just a day or two, you could have a fully-upgraded bathroom. It may even cost less money than you think, while also raising your home’s property value.

2. Upgrade Your Window Treatment

Perhaps you have the same blinds on your windows that you’ve had for years. Or maybe your windows themselves need some improvement. Now might be the perfect time to think about upgrading the window treatment in your home.

You’ll first want to take down your old window coverings. It’s best to use a screwdriver for this step. Make sure you have a tape measure. You’ll need specific measurements for the length and width of your new window treatment. You can usually round off to the nearest 1/8 of an inch.

In terms of choosing your new window treatment upgrade, it depends on your specific style. Vertical blinds are an excellent option for large windows or sliding glass doors. This lets the blinds filter light and enhances the height of the room. Shades, meanwhile, are another worthwhile selection. They’re highly versatile and come in a variety of materials. Roman and honeycomb shades are two great examples. Alternatively, however, you could choose to opt for residential window tinting in Carrollton or wherever you are located. This option is beneficial if you're looking to reduce glare, improve privacy, and add value to your home in one sleek solution that offers long-term benefits.

No matter your choice, upgrading your window treatment can add some flair to your rooms. Installing these fixtures, or having a professional do it for you, can help raise your home’s value too.

3. Replace Outdated Kitchen Appliances

Let’s face it: doing an entire remodeling of your kitchen would cost thousands of dollars. Replacing countertops, retiling the floor, and doing an entire refurbishing takes time out of your schedule--and more importantly, money out of your wallet. At that point, you might be spending more than the value you’re adding on.

Instead, concentrate on replacing the more outdated appliances in your kitchen. Whichever device you’re shopping for, make sure that they have the ENERGY STAR logo. This logo means that they’re energy-efficient and will save you (or, if you’re selling your home, the future homeowner) money. 

If their models are old, then replacing your refrigerator or stove is highly recommended. These are appliances that are often used for cooking and storing food. Slide-in stoves, in particular, give your home more value than freestanding ones. You may also want to consider replacing your dishwasher, especially if you’ve had the same model for more than ten years. Additionally, if you’re looking to buy a slow juicer, this is the perfect time to upgrade. A modern, self-feeding juicer not only enhances your kitchen’s functionality but also brings convenience and health benefits with every use.

4. Enhance Your Lighting

Lighting design is a part of home improvement that you might not have thought about. However, it can be an excellent way to enhance your rooms’ appearance and add some property value to your home.

There are many different areas of your home that you can add lighting sources to or replace existing lighting fixtures. For instance, you can add recessed lighting to the living room for a more ideal amount of brightness. You can also replace a basic chandelier over the dinner table with a model such as a drum shade or vintage-style chandelier, which will add a gorgeous appearance to the room. Keep an eye out on the marketplace for gorgeous led chandeliers, which are becoming increasingly popular in modern homes. In general LED lighting or LED bulbs wherever possible take a lot less electricity than either and reduce our impact on the planet. Switch on to the latest lighting trends on LED Ceiling Light Co.

These are just a few examples. No matter your lighting design idea or which room you decide on, enhancing your lighting fixtures can add style and value to your home.

Homeowners everywhere want a charming look for their house. Upgrading their homes with these fixtures can not only bring more elegance to your home but can also add property value if done right. With these tips, we’re confident that you can complete these fixture additions and increase your home’s value.
