Home Improvements You Can Take with You

Whether your home was built 50 years ago or is only a few years old, chances are you have a list of improvement projects you would love to take on. However, not all renovations are created equal, especially if moving is on your radar. 

If you’re like the many homeowners hoping to make a few changes to their homes this year, you can get the most bang for your buck by opting for renovation ideas that you can take with you when you move. 

Modernize shares tips… 

1. Storage solutions 

Regardless of the square metres, every homeowner can always use more storage. From closet shelving to in-cabinet cookware organisers, outdoor sheds and garage shelving, organisational solutions make day-to-day tasks easier to manage and can be broken down and moved to your new home without much difficulty. 

Flexibility is key when it comes to this kind of improvement project so make sure that each shelving piece is adjustable and that exterior sheds aren’t excessively large so that they will comfortably fit into any new space. 

2. Kitchen island 

Regardless of where you are in the world, kitchens are the heart of the home. Ask any chef and they’ll tell you that adequate counter space and easy access to your cooking tools are absolutely necessary for preparing even the most basic of meals. 

That’s why moveable kitchen islands are such a great addition in any home. Best of all, a mobile island will give you the freedom to adjust your kitchen just the way you like. 

3. Upgrading appliances 

Energy prices are on the rise, and if you have worn-out appliances, chances are your wallet’s going to start feeling the pinch. 

Replacing any major appliances like refrigerators or air conditioning units with newer energy-efficient alternatives will have a positive impact on your monthly expenses. 

Plus, whenever you decide to sell your home, you can have it stipulated in the contract that these pieces will move with you rather than stay behind. 

4. Hardware and accent features 

It’s the little details that really make a room pop. Whether it’s brushed brass drawer pulls, painted light switch covers or a chandelier, each piece adds a personal touch to a room, helping turn your renovated house into a home. 

With almost every one of these improvements, all you’ll need is a screwdriver and a few seconds of your time to take these distinct style choices with you to jazz up your new home. 

Regardless of which room you choose to renovate, with a bit of creative thinking, you’ll never have to say goodbye to your most beloved home features again. - Courtni Wisenbaker-Scheel
