Ready to buy a new home — possibly in Sunterra? After you’ve chosen a floor plan, you’re probably also wondering which upgrades give you the most bang for your buck. Well, wonder no more. We’ve put together a list of essential builder upgrades that will enhance your living experience and increase your home’s value.
Starting With the Kitchen
When planning kitchen upgrades start, with high-quality countertops. Quartz is an excellent choice, offering both durability and a sleek, sophisticated look. Consider upgrading to soft-close cabinets and drawers. They’re not only more functional but also add a touch of luxury and sophistication. Speaking of luxury, a farmhouse sink, or a sleek undermount sink can be both practical and stylish, offering plenty of room for all those dishes from your culinary adventures. A well-designed backsplash protects your walls and serves as a canvas for adding your personal touch to the kitchen.
Moving On to the Bathroom
Ever thought about turning your bathroom into a personal retreat? Start by upgrading to an oversized shower. There will be plenty of room for you and a shower seat in case you want to breathe in the steam. Complement it with a rainfall showerhead for an indulgent experience. A freestanding bath can become a beautiful focal point. Choose high-quality countertops and sinks that resist wear and tear while maintaining their stylish appearance.
Let’s Talk Flooring
When considering flooring options, you want something that balances style, durability and comfort. Hardwood floors are an excellent choice for any room, offering a classic and elegant look. If you’re seeking a budget-friendly alternative that doesn’t skimp on aesthetics, luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is a fantastic option. Carpet is making a comeback with modern, stain-resistant options that offer unparalleled comfort. Don’t forget the importance of a carpet pad. A good quality carpet pad can add cushioning, reduce noise and increase the longevity of your chosen flooring.
Make Your Home Smarter
Smart home devices come standard with most homes but if yours doesn’t, you will want to get on that as things like smart thermostats, doorbells, lighting and more can improve your lifestyle. If your home already has the basics, it may be worth it to upgrade them or add additional automation. That could include additional smart lights, smart appliances and USB ready plugs.
Up Your Backyard Game
Most builders will offer extended patios that give you plenty of space to host a neighborhood barbecue. A larger patio allows you to create zones for cooking, dining and conversation. Speaking of barbecues, a built-in grill is a beautiful, practical addition. Not a fan of concrete? Ask about stone tiles.
