Design Trick #1: Ample Storage Space From the Start…

If you’re looking for a simple way to boost your home’s value before you ever even built it is to make sure you’ve got PLENTY of closet and storage space throughout the house right from the get-go.

• Cabinet space should be ample, and designed for efficiency and style (NEVER sacrifice one aspect for the other…)

• Functional attics and basements automatically increase your total square footage – and therefore your home’s basic value.

• Extra storage space in your bathroom can conveniently store towels, wash cloths and other basic hygiene items.
