5 Luxury Home Renovations and Remodels to Consider for Your Home

When people think of luxurious homes, they often think of lavish multi-story properties somewhere on or near a beach, or maybe even a villa with a pool. They think of spending hours with their stylist or decorator, shopping at auction houses, and scouring the market for luxury art.

Some may even think of a secluded two-story cabin located on a snowy mountain. Luxury can mean something different to everyone, and everyone’s “dream home” will look different. But one thing is for sure, luxury home renovations and remodels will help improve the overall aesthetic appearance of your residential property.

However, most people can’t afford the most luxurious dream home that they can imagine, but they can renovate their current home to become as close as possible to that dream home. Here are some luxury home renovations and remodels that you can make on your home to bring it closer to being a luxury dream home.

Pools are probably the most common luxury amenities that people think of adding to their homes. While many of the most luxurious homes have indoor pools, it may require a lot of extensive remodeling (and money), or may even be impossible to add to the home you’re in now. However, most homes have a backyard big enough to accommodate an in-ground or above ground pool. Of course, you should never attempt to build an in-ground swimming pool on your own— it’s best to call a contractor. A professional pool contractor will help you help you choose from a list of the best home swimming pool options for your backyard.

Another aspect of luxury is having a panoramic view of the world around your home. This is where floor-to-ceiling windows come into play. While some people may not want this feature in the front of their homes (maybe because you live in a residential area), having a view like this facing your backyard can create the illusion of living in a luxury home. This is enhanced if you have a pool, gazebo, or a beautiful garden in your backyard. You can also opt to have sliding glass doors that lead to your patio (and maybe even hire a contractor to build you a backyard patio!)

Ever wished you had an elevator in your multi-story home? Well it’s a possibility for many homeowners, and it’s not the huge, bulky elevators found in hotels and business offices. Look into having a sleek vacuum elevator installed in your home. These residential elevators don’t take up much space in your home, and they fit with just about every type of home decor. This is also considered to be a “universal design”, meaning that it can be useful to any type of individual, especially the elderly and those with physical limitations.

Working out at home has become a trend in fitness due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, most people probably just have a treadmill and some weights— which is a great starting point. However, if you want your home gym to feel more like a gym, the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure that your gym has its own room. Sharing a space with another room, such as an office or bedroom makes it feel less like a gym. Next, you’ll want to have mirrors lined up against the wall like a real gym, and maybe even have some floor-to-ceiling windows installed in this room as well.

Finally, if you want to increase the luxury in your home, invest in smart home devices. This includes things like smart locks and a smart doorbell, a smart thermostat, a smart vacuum cleaner and so on.

Indeed, there are many home renovations and remodels that you can consider for your home. But aside from the ones mentioned above, adding an extension or conservatory can also be an excellent idea for your property. Both of these structures can be a great addition, especially if your family is growing or you need more space for different activities like hobbies and other. Besides, both extensions and conservatories can provide privacy whenever you need it while maintaining your property’s luxurious look.

However, it’s important to know that a home extension and a conservatory aren’t exactly identical. Generally, an extension refers to a habitable space that uses clear glass with beautiful frames to get the most out of lighting. Meanwhile, a conservatory refers to a relaxing space that’s made from a mixture of double glazing and slim structures to make it brighter and more relaxing.

But whatever structure you choose, it may be a good idea to work with professionals from reputable companies. They can help you with your project design and bring your vision to life. Also, given their expertise in glass technology, they can help you make the right choice for your needs.

Conclusion

Keep in mind that depending on where in the world you live and what type of neighborhood you live in, some of these renovations and remodels may not be possible. Also, not all of these will contribute to increasing your property value, so do your research before committing to any of these changes.
