When thinking about renovating Orlando luxury homes, surveyed homeowners prefer to take on their kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms first. This makes sense since these three rooms typically are the ones that get used the most. The wear and tear will be most evident in these areas and if spending a lot of time in them, we want it to look and feel great.
In high-traffic areas like these you want to make changes that will enhance your enjoyment and functionality of each of those spaces. Some smart upgrades to consider when renovating Orlando luxury homes:
Increase the Amount of Natural Light
Most rooms in the home look better and are more functional in natural light, and more daylight can help reduce the need for artificial light. What’s more, there’s no arguing the positive mental and physical health effects of natural light. Daylight stimulates the body to produce Vitamin D and boosts brain levels of serotonin, which is thought to be associated with positive moods.
Adding skylights in Orlando luxury homes is a practical, cost-effective and attractive way to bring more natural light into virtually any room.
Improve Ventilation for Healthier Living
The air flow inside a home impacts the health and safety of everyone living there. Excess moisture under a roof can cause mold and mildew to grow and ultimately affect the well-being of those in the area. Creating a fresher, healthier environment by ventilating stale indoor air is definitely a smart home improvement for Orlando luxury homes.
Two key areas requiring proper ventilation are kitchens and bathrooms. Equip each of those areas with exhaust fans to carry away moisture, steam, and smoke. A newer addition that can assist with proper ventilation is skylights. Innovations have changed what skylights can do to improve Orlando luxury homes. Besides allowing natural light in, some skylights also will filter in fresh air.
Passive ventilation, which uses a series of vents in exterior windows to allow outdoor air to enter the home in a controlled way, is a real plus for bathrooms and kitchens and is an integral part of some modern skylights.
In bathrooms, these skylights provide the perfect combination of ventilation, natural light, and privacy; while in kitchens, fresh air skylights can increase ventilation and natural light without requiring any loss of wall space for cabinets.
Increase Storage and Organization
A home with clutter and chaos not only makes it function less efficiently, it can adversely affect moods. A smart way to upgrade any room is to add organization and storage where clutter seems to collect. Maximize closet space in bedrooms by installing ready-made organization units that can help find a place for everything. You can install them yourself or contract with a container or home improvement store to get them into place.
Investing in built-in shelving or cabinetry for game rooms and living rooms not only will save you space but can look amazing while improving organization in any room.
Home improvements are fantastic for homeowners, but also help the home increase its resale value. To learn what Orlando luxury homes are currently selling for, visit the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty Orlando real estate page anytime for the latest listings.
