5 Design elements that add value to your home. Thinking about listing your property? If so, put on your buyers shoes, and really LOOK at your home. You still have to live in it while it is being marketed, or at least own it, so be sensible, but keep in mind that some of the $ you invest will have higher returns than others.

5 Design Elements that add value to your home
- Whole Home Automation: Buyers love to be able to monitor their home’s special functions remotely. Turn on the heater or A/C. Heat the spa or pool and spa. Control the fireplace, the window shades, just about everything is able to be programmed now, so make it happen!
- Use a variety of colors, textures, design patterns. Be eclectic, but not crazy. The same old gray and white is so out!
- Use Color: Buyers love color contrasts as long as they make sense. Use a professional realtor, or hire a designer who hears you. Make your home memorable.
- Outdoor living/dining spaces: Buyers in the Coachella Valley move here because they can be outside most of the year. Misters, a smashing pool/spa/hardscape. An outdoor entertainment area with pizza oven, wine refrigerator, grill, asada area, just make it feel like a retreat.
- Landscape Design: This one is critical as more and more buyers are aware of the local weather and environment. Lots of beautiful uplights, twinkling solar fixtures, hanging pots of flowers, walkways, succulents and desert scape with artfully located benches or conversation areas. Entice them to stay!
