Adding Custom Cabinets Will Increase the Value of Your Home
Installing custom cabinets and closets and adding additional storage space may not be what immediately comes to mind when it comes to home improvement projects. The fact is that installing quality custom cabinets are not only sound financial investment, they also increase the value of your home.
Homeowners can expect to recoup 65% to 100% of their investment in home improvement projects upon the sale of their home – if the home renovation projects are properly executed. The best renovations combine technical knowledge, practical home improvement know-how and design aesthetics, best achieved with professional guidance. Below are some custom cabinet home renovation tips that will increase the value of your home.
Invest in quality custom cabinets
Spend your renovation dollars on quality, well-constructed cabinets. While it makes sense to establish a remodelling budget, cutting corners may lose you money when it comes time to sell your home. Homebuyers look for attractive, functional and ample cabinets, and a poorly-appointed new room may be no more valuable than an old one. For homeowners planning to remain in their home, excellent cabinet craftsmanship ensures that renovations exceed expectations, improving the quality, comfort and convenience of home life.
Design custom cabinets in proper proportion
One of the most important design elements in cabinets is proportion. The proportion of a custom cabinet should relate to both the scale of other cabinets and to the scale of the room. The size of the room should dictate the size and number of your custom cabinets.
Cabinet proportion is especially important in open kitchens to help create a defined space between the kitchen and the rooms beyond. Thoughtful custom cabinet placement and proportion, such as a U-shaped cabinet plan, can provide a visual border to a kitchen. Chances are slim that ready-made cabinets will meet this criteria. Custom cabinets distinguish a design by giving a room the tailored look that comes from correct proportions.
Add custom cabinets and storage space where it makes sense
Almost every homeowner – and homebuyer – wants additional storage.
When it comes to home improvement projects, think in advance about adding storage to control the clutter of family life. Including custom cabinets with retractable bins or with adjustable shelving systems will make life easier over the long run. In the kitchen, cabinets proportioned to accommodate large pots and pans,baking sheets and small appliances can make baking and cooking more enjoyable and convenient.
In a bathroom or bedroom, cabinets can be customized to accommodate unused closet and wall space, providing storage solutions for linens, seasonal items and clothing, Custom cabinets ensure that everything is nearby when you want it, but out of sight when you don’t. Custom cabinets can even create closets where there are none, in the form of built-in closets and wardrobes, elegantly designed to complement your home’s decor. Ample storage can eliminate the need for storing items in a shed or expensive rental storage space.
