Interior and Renovation
We as a professional real estate company look into all the details with regard to the interiors and renovation of the concerned property. The role of the real estate agent and interior designer may seem worlds apart. However, real estate interior design is recognized as a major part of the property market, and a bonus when it comes to hiring new talent. Combination of real estate and interior design can lead to a truly rewarding career. The words “renovate” and “remodel” are used interchangeably when it comes to property management, contracting and interior design. Essentially, the difference between them is that a renovation refers to restoring something to a previous state, while a remodel refers to creating something new.
We generally guide our customers with various options in regards to the Interiors of their house and renovation.
Painting
If there were no plans to stay in your current home for more than five years, Recommendation would be a fresh coat of paint to upgrade the space. After all, paint is temporary, so this project is an opportunity to give your home a truly personal feel without impacting resale value. It’s a low-cost way to make a huge impact. Generally, lighter colors will help brighten a room and make it feel a little bigger and more light-filled, while darker colors can help you lean into the small footprint by making a space feel a little cozier.

Your Kitchen Updations
Regular up gradation of Kitchens have always sold homes and apartments, but due to the pandemic has placed new emphasis on this room’s importance. This means that having a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional is an increasing priority. In today’s generations, more and more, I see potential buyers even in city apartments looking at the kitchen not just for its appearance, but functionality for cooking multiple meals a day and storing excess supplies and food. If you’re planning to renovate your kitchen, it recommends adding a pantry if possible. Kitchen storage is at a premium since everyone is conscious of the ability to store extra food and pantry items these days.
Sprucing Up Outdoor Space
No matter where you live, outdoor space has become much more valuable due to COVID. It used to be that sometimes people’s terraces/balconies and backyards paled in comparison to their homes. However, times have changed. Looking forward, outdoor space is increasingly valuable and therefore maximizing its usability and appearance are great ways to add to its value for a future sale. If you plan on selling your home in the next few years, the real estate agent emphasizes that adding shade/rain covers, as well as heating and outdoor kitchens are smart investments. More future buyers will be valuing outdoors space than in prior years due to the recent focus and the freedom outdoor living affords now. But keep in mind that while marble is beautiful and timeless— it’s not always the most practical stone because of its natural porousness. If you need something more durable, it is best to regularly re-seal the marble or opt for an alternative like quartzite. As for what to do while we’re still in the middle of the pandemic, Focus on creating your personal jungle and hire a landscaper early on to make your oasis dreams come true. Consider adding extra seating such as built-in benches with colorful cushions for all your socially distanced hangs.
Installing Soundproofing and Separation
With more people being home on a day-to-day basis, adding soundproofing to rooms and floors can make a big difference, along with closing off open floor plans. While there is something undeniably attractive about a big open loft-like space, I am seeing more buyers talk about how to add an office into the same square footage. The real estate agent recommends doing whatever is possible to create an extra private room. Whether it be a big walk in closet, finishing a basement, attic or making one giant room into two can, add value as room count matters more than ever with people needing privacy and quiet space.
Adding Accents to Make a Space More Sanitary
One of the major impacts of the pandemic is a greater concern about the transmission of illness and germs. This has already and will continue to influence home design. It has been noticed an increase in demand for hands-free and touch less features, as well as air purifiers. Given the pandemic and an increased awareness around sanitization, hands-free options in homes provide peace of mind for those who are hyper-conscious of keeping high-touch areas, and the air in their homes clean and germ-free. For example, even the seemingly minor act of choosing a touch less faucet or smart lighting in a powder room or mudroom with a hand washing station can make a difference now as well as in the future.
Converting Your Bathroom into a Home Spa
You can choose to add luxury. It is recommended updating your bathroom to make it more spa-like. For big renovations, that could mean freestanding soaking tubs and big rain showers. After 2020’s toilet paper shortage, it’s easy to understand why this makes sense. It’s been also seen a lot more interest in bidets this year, from low-tech options with no heat to high-tech toilet seats. This was certainly tied to the run on toilet paper back in March, but I think it’s also part of an overall trend toward ‘accessible luxury’ bathroom upgrades. These bathrooms up gradation make life better in the short term as well as boost futuristic resale value.
Making Unoccupied or Unused Space More Purposeful
Many homeowners have space that they either don’t use or under utilize. Because many activities that used to take place outside are currently taking place inside the home and will continue to be this way in the future. While many people are converting formal dining rooms into home offices, there are other ways to use these spaces, especially if there is already have a home office. If you never use your formal dining room, turn it into something that adds value to your family. Like a game room, or envelop it into the kitchen and have one large area where you can all eat together. It’s also advisable if you have an unfinished basement and need more square footage; consider finishing it off and making it a space for health and fitness like a massage, weight room or yoga. A nice idea is a home salon where your manicurist and hairstylist can come and service you and your family now that so many services have been put on the road. Garage spaces can also be worth renovating. The garage could turn into a studio space or office, allowing you to work in a space separate from the main home.
