Going Green
As green homes are becoming more attainable financially and physically, renovating your house gives you the opportunity to make it more eco-friendly.
Some of the things you should consider doing to make your home more “green” include:
- Upgrading appliances with a better energy rating
- Adjusting the layout of your home for better usage of natural light, and adding better windows to achieve the same purpose.
- Utilising materials that are more eco-friendly, thereby reducing environmental impact
- Opportunity for additional water harvesting by introducing better systems to collect rainwater, saving on water bills and getting better quality water for your family.
- Updating heating and cooling systems that are designed for a more eco-friendly experience.. Upgrading your appliances to more energy efficient options not only reduce your energy costs but are better for the environment.
Getting Bigger
Renovations are sometimes a necessity. This is especially true when children grow or the addition of family members moving back in. Moreover, increasing the size of your home provides opportunity to improve or add personalised inclusions that could not be incorporated in the initial build. This addition may be a home office which has become a necessity for many who are working from home.
Improve Quality and increase in resale value
Renovation can increase the market value of your home as the home can be upgraded with modern trends and features. These new inclusions can also potentially increase the resale value of your home. Addition of rooms, upgrades to the kitchen or bathroom or expansion of living areas will influence your house's market value.
Staying Put
Renovation can help you remain embedded to your community or locality while bringing a breath of fresh air into your home. Once you have settled in a location and are engaged with your community, shifting to an entirely new location might be a big challenge.
However, you can freshen up your living arrangement through a transition of your living spaces. Although none of us want to leave our community, it is natural to long for novelty. Moreover, you can renovate your dwelling into a duplex by adding another smaller dwelling to your home. The additional dwelling can accommodate older children, parents, families or can be used as a rental opportunity.
