8 Must-Have Upgrades that are
Actually Worth It - Part 1 of 2
For the next two weeks, we’re diving into home upgrades that truly make a difference. Sure, painting, decluttering, and deep cleaning are must-dos, but today, I’m sharing four additional upgrades that are not only trending but also help increase your home’s value and appeal.
1. Zero-Threshold Showers
One of the most modern and practical upgrades you can make to your bathroom is installing a zero-threshold shower. These showers have no step-up or barrier between the bathroom floor and the shower area, as they slope seamlessly down to the drain.
Why are they so popular?
Safety: Ideal for anyone recovering from an injury or for those who may struggle with steps as they age.
Style: Sleek, modern, and universally appealing.
If you’re looking for a contemporary upgrade, a zero-threshold shower is a fantastic choice (say that three times fast!).
2. Quartz Kitchen Countertops
Kitchens are one of the first places buyers look, and countertops make a huge impact. Quartz is the current favorite for a reason:
Durability: Scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to maintain.
Style: Available in a variety of colors and patterns to suit any kitchen design.
If you’re not ready for a full countertop replacement, I recently connected with an amazing vendor who specializes in restoring and revitalizing natural stone countertops. This is a great way to breathe new life into your kitchen without breaking the bank.
3. Updated Garage Doors
Garage doors are often overlooked but can be a major focal point of your home’s exterior. Upgrading to a modern garage door can add both character and functionality.
Insulation: If you use your garage as a workshop or workspace, consider an insulated door to make it more comfortable year-round.
Curb Appeal: A stylish garage door can dramatically enhance the look of your home.
While they can be an investment, updated garage doors are worth it for both aesthetic and practical reasons.
4. Radiant Heating for Bathrooms
If you’re planning a bathroom remodel, consider adding radiant heating. This spa-like feature warms your floors, creating a cozy, luxurious experience every time you step out of the shower.
Comfort: No more cold feet on chilly mornings!
Value: Radiant heating makes your bathroom feel high-end, which appeals to buyers.
Why not pair this upgrade with your zero-threshold shower for the ultimate bathroom transformation?
