Home upgrades that are “Wow-Worthy”

You may be itching for a home remodel for several reasons. Perhaps you may need more space. Or maybe your home hasn’t been updated in decades, and you want something new and fresh.

Whether you’re remodeling for practicality or fun, why not include features that make a statement? Something that immediately stands out and makes people say, “wow!”

Do you need some ideas? Let’s go room by room to discuss features that will be the star of your remodeling project.

Kitchen

For most households, the kitchen is the busiest room. It has evolved into more than just a space to cook a meal; it is now where friends gather to mingle, and kids set up shop to do their homework. 

One thing every busy kitchen needs is a large island. Islands have been popular for quite a while, and for a good reason. They look fantastic and are also incredibly functional. An oversized island with marble countertops will be a showstopping piece that takes your kitchen to the next level. 

Master Bathroom

When it comes time to remodel your master bathroom, focusing on the shower is a great way to maximize practicality while making a statement. First, we love a zero-threshold shower. Having a shower that is easily accessible will be helpful in preventing falls and also looks clean and sleek.

When choosing tile for the shower, why not go for something a bit more flashy than you may be used to? Zellige tiles are quickly becoming the go-to tile for bathrooms. These handmade tiles are a perfect mix of simplicity and sparkle – they’re kind of like a dressed-up subway tile.

Gas fireplace in master bedroom that is open on both sides is an excellent example of home upgrades you should consider.

Master Bedroom

You want your master bedroom to be a comfy space where you can relax, and what is more relaxing than watching flames dance around in a fireplace? Installing either a gas or electric fireplace in your master bedroom will completely transform an otherwise ordinary bedroom.

The best place for a fireplace is the wall across from your bed. Another great place to put a fireplace is the wall separating your bedroom from the master bathroom. This way, the fire can be enjoyed in two spaces – while lounging in your bedroom or while you’re soaking in the tub.

Outdoor Spaces

We love an outdoor space that feels cozy and magical. If you are adding an outdoor living space to your backyard, make sure you include a water feature. A wall waterfall will immediately make your outdoor living space look luxurious. You could install this near an outdoor seating area where you plan to entertain.

If you don’t have the space for a wall waterfall, you could install a fountain instead. Fountains can make a space feel peaceful while also drowning out background noise. There are dozens of styles to choose from, so you’ll be sure to find a fountain that fits in with the rest of your décor while acting as a focal point in your space.
