Design = Money: 5 Interior Solutions That Will Increase the Value of Your Property by 20-30%

More and more often, property owners use design as a strategy to increase value: some interior solutions can increase it by 20 percent or more. Igor Krasnov, founder of the interior design studio KRASNOV, told how to turn an ordinary house into an object that buyers will want to fight for.

Home Spa

Home Spa is a cozy relaxation area right in your home. This solution turns your home into a special place. Spa relieves stress, improves blood circulation, and lifts your spirits.

Someone can organize a simple relaxation area in the bedroom or living room with a massage chair and scented candles to unwind after a long day. Someone will turn their bathroom into a full-fledged wellness center by installing a jacuzzi or sauna there. Others will relieve stress and feel better with a small corner with live plants on the balcony or a full-fledged massage room with aromatherapy. It all depends on the area and budget. But when equipping a home spa, it is important to think through every detail: it must be of high quality so as not to create problems.

You can choose any style that matches the overall interior. But it is better to use natural materials such as wood, stone, natural textiles. Soft lighting and pleasant aromas will help restore energy, and living greenery will fill the space with oxygen. A home spa is not a run-of-the-mill fashion trend that will soon become a thing of the past. It is a timeless solution, a real investment in health and comfort. And a buyer choosing between two similar properties will definitely choose the one that has the luxury of caring for the well-being of the residents.

Patio with Fire

A patio (from the Spanish word “patio” — “yard”) is usually understood as an open indoor area for relaxation and entertainment. Say “patio” and imagine a cozy picture from your favorite sitcom. It shows a fun party with friends or a warm evening with family. This solution is both for those who like to host guests and for those who prefer to spend time alone in nature, but still stay at home.

The central part of the patio design is elements with fire, such as fire pits, fireplaces, or fire tables. In the warm season, you can have barbecues and get-togethers with friends here, and in the winter, gather around the fire to warm up and chat. Such a corner will become the center of family traditions and pleasant meetings.

A patio with fire is also a functional space for cooking. Another advantage of the patio area is that it allows you to expand the living space. This is especially important in houses with limited space, where every square meter counts. The patio area usually includes a “working” area with a fire pit and a seating area with a large dining table. You can also install a gazebo or canopy to keep out rain or snow.

There are not many such offers on the market, so the presence of a cozy patio with a fire becomes a significant advantage when choosing a house. That is why such solutions are especially appreciated by those who dream of a house where they can spend time together with different generations and enjoy communication in the fresh air.

Open-Plan Kitchen

An open-plan kitchen will become a real center of attraction for all family members in a modern home. This format seems to invite everyone to gather together: cook together, share news, and just chat about this and that. Here, everyone can be busy with their own business, but everyone remains close. For many people, this becomes an important point when choosing a home, because such a layout helps create new pleasant family rituals and spend more time together.

An open-plan kitchen is also an ideal option for those who love throwing home parties. Thanks to the open layout, the owner can simultaneously cook in the kitchen and chat with guests in the living room. For parents of small children, this layout allows them to easily keep an eye on the kids playing in another part of the room while doing household chores at the same time.

This layout solution looks modern and stylish. Combining the kitchen, dining room, and living room visually expands the space. Due to this, a feeling of freedom and spaciousness arises. An open layout also simplifies cleaning and maintenance of the room. The absence of partitions and walls helps maintain order and cleanliness. Such seemingly non-obvious advantages will certainly be appreciated by potential buyers.

Smart Home

A smart home is the future that has already arrived. Innovative technologies adapt to our habits and, it seems, can even read our minds. Lighting, heating and security systems, united into a single network, make an ordinary apartment an intelligent space that understands its residents.

For example, before returning from work, someone is used to turning on the heating and turning on the light in the living room so that it is warm and cozy when they arrive. Others also set up the system so that it automatically turns off the light and heating when they leave the house.

Some people install a video surveillance system and motion sensors without fail to receive notifications about any unusual movements at the front door and have the ability to remotely open or close the locks. Such solutions give peace of mind, even when the owners are far from home.

For others, it is important to set up smart home systems so that lighting and heating are automatically adjusted depending on the time of day. Thanks to this, you can significantly reduce energy costs and make the house more environmentally friendly.

Smart home systems allow you to control everything via smartphone or voice. It is not surprising that when buying real estate, people increasingly pay attention to the presence of such technologies, because investing in smart technologies makes the house more modern and truly convenient.

Landscape Design

Landscape design is like small talk — the art of creating a pleasant first impression and maintaining a “conversation” with the outside world. It decorates the site and tells a story about its owners, their tastes, and family values. Landscape design, with its variety of plants, textures, and elements, also attracts attention and invites you to get acquainted.

A well-designed site is a real art of balance and harmony between nature and architecture. Each element plays its role: a gazebo entwined with clematis, a playground where laughter sounds, beds with fresh vegetables and herbs, an orchard. Hedges and decorative walls create a feeling of security, and the variety of plants and flowers pleases the eye and purifies the air.

A well-kept site, like a smile at home, immediately attracts people. Flower beds in bloom, the aroma of freshly cut grass, the rustling of leaves, cozy corners for relaxation — all this turns an ordinary plot into an island of nature that you just want to call your own.

One of the main aspects of housing attractiveness is the creation of an emotional connection with future buyers. People buy not square meters, but a dream — every realtor knows this. Details, shadesand, furniture items should speak of comfort, coziness, and style. An interior that evokes positive emotions and associations can significantly increase the chances of a successful sale. It is important to create an atmosphere in which you want to stay, feel at home. This approach will turn the offer into a unique one, will distinguish it from the rest, and, of course, will increase the value of the property.
