Message: A Simple New Construction Design Tip That Can Make Your House Worth More From Day One

Design Trick #1: Ample Storage Space From the Start…

If you’re looking for a simple way to boost your home’s value before you ever even built it is to make sure you’ve got PLENTY of closet and storage space throughout the house right from the get-go.

• Cabinet space should be ample, and designed for efficiency and style (NEVER sacrifice one aspect for the other…)

• Functional attics and basements automatically increase your total square footage – and therefore your home’s basic value.

• A walk-in closet added to a master bedroom/master bath combo transforms an ordinary bedroom into a Master Suite.

• Incorporate a pantry (in addition to cabinet space) to give your kitchen a nice boost.

• Extra storage space in your bathroom can conveniently store towels, wash cloths and other basic hygiene items.

But the best thing about all of this extra storage space is that you don’t have to wait to sell your home in order for it to pay off!

Every time you open a convenient cabinet, door, closet or other built-in storage unit, it’ll make your day-to-day life both easier and simpler.

Not sure it's worth it? Then check out this little tidbit…

According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, a recent National Association of Realtors survey revealed that 2/3 of home buyers are willing to pay extra for a walk-in closet in the Master Bedroom…

So, after you've taken full advantage of all of that storage space, there will be a huge opportunity to take advantage of it yet again!
