Quality storage and organization have become a high priority for today’s home buyers. These options create beautiful finishes and valuable home features that boost your home’s value. Custom closets not only add daily function, but they add a luxury feel that many buyers are looking for when thinking of upgrading their home.
First Impressions Matter
If you’re considering selling your home, it’s the first impression that will set the tone. You’ll instantly boost your home’s value by de-cluttering, and that includes the closets. When potential buyers come through the home, they are absolutely going to open every closet door–looking to see the possibilities of organization. A house with organized closets is a home, as clients oftentimes put a lot of value into those details, especially when choosing one house over another.
Insider Tip: Make your closets pretty when your home goes on the market by removing anything that makes it looks disorganized. Take this time to throw away anything broken or expired. Donate items that still have use in them. Renting a storage unit to store packed boxes of “extras” will pay off in the end!
Maximize the Potential Space
In traditional closets, there’s a lot left to be desired…especially when it comes to all the unused areas. You can easily declutter your closets, but when you have empty space above and below hanging clothes, you’re missing out on showing the potential. No matter the closet you’re organizing, including linen closets, custom features allow you to use the entire space for varying function and height. Don’t force buyers to imagine the possibilities, show them that this is the home for them!
Add Luxury Appeal
Any home will seem instantly upgraded with custom closet features, but if you want to boost your home’s value into the high-end category, the luxury finishes that you select for your closets will do just that. Specialty drawers for jewelry, accessories to preserve the shape of items, specific storage for universal items like shoes…these customizations go above and beyond. To finish off the space, glass doors, lighting and crown moulding will help you style this room beautifully. If your primary closet allows, installing an island is a great way to bring additional drawers and low storage into the space.
How Do the Rooms Rank?
When you think of upgrading the closets in your home, it might not surprise you that primary closets and children’s closets make daily life easier and help families stay organized. But what about the other spaces in your home? Because first impressions are powerful, a good focus is the entryway closet or mudroom space. Every family can relate to drop-zone problems, and by solving them–and making this space pretty–buyers will be drawn to your home. This counts for when clients enter your home, but also when seeing online photos in the real estate listing.
Another area that will boost your home’s value is the kitchen pantry. Similar to dec-cluttering the other closets in your home, the pantry will wow potential home buyers–when it’s clean. So, add that to your list, as buyers will certainly find themselves curious what’s behind closed doors.
