Interior Design Elements
For those aiming to combine both form and function, there are several design choices that can make a difference when it comes to property valuation. Here are four interior design elements that not only transform your living space but also boost its market worth:
1. Updated Kitchens and Bathrooms
Why they add value: They're often labelled the heart and soul of the home, respectively. Kitchens and bathrooms that are modern, functional, and stylish play a significant role in determining a property’s overall appeal.
Design tips: Commit to high-quality countertops, such as marble or quartz, reputable appliances, and contemporary fixtures. In bathrooms, freestanding tubs, frameless glass showers, and ambient lighting can be great additions. Ensure that your design choices remain universally appealing, striking a balance between trendy and timeless.

2. Hardwood Floors
Why they add value: Universally admired for their look and longevity, hardwood floors are a lasting favourite among homeowners and potential buyers alike.
Design tips: Depending on the ambience you want to create, choose between warmer or cooler wood tones. If traditional hardwoods stretch the budget, there are exceptional alternatives like laminate or hybrid flooring which offer similar aesthetics at a fraction of the price.
3. Built-In Storage Solutions
Why they add value: Homes that maximise storage and minimise clutter are always in demand. Effective and innovative storage solutions can make spaces feel more expansive and organised.
Design tips: Think multi-functional furniture like ottomans with storage or beds with built-in drawers. Use vertical spaces effectively with wall-mounted cabinets or shelves. Utilise awkward spaces, like under the stairs or alcoves, to create bespoke storage areas.
4. Enhanced Outdoor Living Spaces
Why they add value: As more homeowners prioritise outdoor entertainment and relaxation, well-designed exterior spaces are becoming just as important as beautiful interiors.
Design tips: Invest in quality alfresco or deck installations, along with comfortable and durable outdoor furniture. Consider adding pergolas or awnings for shade, and invest in ambient outdoor lighting for evening use. For smaller spaces like balconies, use vertical gardens or compact seating to maximise utility and aesthetics.
