These Features Will Make Your Home Stand Out

Home and Garden

If you have purchased your home in the hope that one day you can sell it for a profit then you are in the right mindset. A home is an investment and it is your job to improve it so people want to buy it and live in it. It is called a housing ladder so you can climb it, start at the bottom and work your way up. Take a look below for some incredible features that will make your home stand out. 

Sign saying Welcome to our home

Awesome Music System 

Let’s face it, who doesn’t love a good sing-along when you are at home? Switch on the music while you are winding down or tidying up and it will help pass the time, it will also ensure you are not sitting in silence. Why not invest in a state-of-the-art music system within your home. We mean quite literally in your home. Get a professional to build your music system into your home and you can control it with a remote or another smart tech device. This is great for parties as you can link it to your music library and simply ask it to play you a song or playlist. 

You can also go old school with your music system. If you are a fan of vinyl records then you could get a record player and play music on that instead. You might be wondering how to store vinyl records. There are lots of storage options available, take a look online and see what works best for you. 

Incredible Water Feature

Heading outside to the garden, if it is looking a bit plain and boring then inject some life into it. We don’t just mean some right colourful plants for the bees and butterflies. We mean a water feature so you have something pretty to look at, and the birds have somewhere to commune and get a drink. There are lots to choose from, you can look online or you can pop into your local garden centre to see what they have available. You could even get an artificial well built into your garden. Obviously, you won’t be able to get any water from it, but it will look amazing in your garden. 

Artificial Fireplace

If you are wanting ways to make your home feel more intimate and cosy then an artificial fireplace is one way to achieve this. It can often come as a surprise but artificial fireplaces do let off heat, so you can watch the fire and feel warm at the same time. These fireplaces can give your home an instant facelift and add to the value of your home as well. People love fireplaces and they love artificial ones even more so as they don’t require any maintenance. If you have a real fireplace then you need to pay for chimney sweeps every so often. 

We hope this gives you some fantastic ideas on what you can add to your home to make it stand out. Not only will your house guests and visitors love it, but your potential buyers in the future will also love it.

It's hard to believe today marks the anniversary of the first lock down. What a strange year its been and heartbreaking how many lost lives.

Now we have a vaccine and new hope that things may get back to more normal.

The pandemic has taught me new skills. Now I can make face masks, have knitted a cardigan and 24 squares of a pandemic blanket. I am also making the most of the garden. What has it taught you?
