There are many fantastic benefits of owning your own home. Being able to redecorate, remodel, or upgrade your property whenever and however you like is one of the best.
You deserve a home that truly reflects your personality and is a place of refuge you just can’t wait to retreat to after a long day in the office.
The Covid-19 pandemic changed the way we live forevermore, and more people than ever now work from home or a full-time or part-time basis. The longer you spend in your home, the more important it is that you are comfortable and happy with the environment around you.
Whether it’s a new coat of paint or an entirely new bathroom, there are many different ways to personalise your home.
In 2023, more homeowners than ever before are deciding the take the plunge and finally make the change they have been considering for so many years.
Here are some of the most popular changes that homeowners have been making this year.
Home sauna installation
Home saunas bring the ultimate comfort of a luxury spa into the convenience of your own home.
An infrared sauna for home use is far more affordable than you might think and provides a fantastic array of health and lifestyle benefits. Soothing aches and pains, reducing inflammation, and detoxifying the body of the user, using a home sauna on a regular basis will do wonders for your physical and mental wellbeing.
Home office installation
Propping your laptop up on your kitchen table might have worked through a lockdown or two, but if you are now working from home on a permanent basis, it’s time to upgrade the set up.
Whether it is the refurbishment of an existing office or the renovation of an entire floorplan to incorporate your new workspace, a dedicated home office will separate your home and work life and make your WFH experience a whole lot more comfortable.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
With energy prices on the rise, reducing the amount of heat lost from a property has become the number one priority for many homeowners.
Installing insulation, double or triple glazing, and renewable heating sources such as air source heat pumps are just some of the changes that improve thermal efficiency and will help to keep you toastie and warm without breaking the bank this coming winter.
Outhouses
If you have plenty of room available and are looking to make a sound financial investment, additional accommodation installed in your outdoor space is a great option.
You could use this when family come to stay, or rent it out using AirBnb or a similar platform.
This is becoming more and more popular amongst landowners in all parts of the nation but you do need to bear in mind that you will probably need planning permission for any form of permanent building. It is for this reason that temporary accommodation such as yurts or similar are the go-to choice for many.
