Do Built-ins Increase the Value of a Home?

Embrace every corner, eliminate lost space

Embracing every corner of the home is part of the design ethos at Tradition Custom Homes. The beauty of custom design is the ability to maximize and organize every inch of space. A custom home feature that assists in eliminating lost space are built-ins. Built-ins provide three important keys to custom home design: organization, personalization, and harmonization.

Get organized

Built-ins add to the value of the home by enhancing the overall organization of the space. Built-in cabinets maximize and organize the space you have, especially when incorporated into a hallway, as seen above. Timeless custom home features are the ones that add to the practicality and quality of life—making day-to-day ordinary life more orderly. These built-in cabinets create extra storage space in an area of the home that is typically overlooked, the hallway. Dedicating the hallway to be the “drop zone” of the home, where everyone can store his or her personal items from being seen in their very own cubby. These built-in cabinets create less of a mess and are the perfect place for storing backpacks, jackets, lunch boxes, purses, shoes, sports equipment—the list goes on and on.

Personalize your space

personalize your space with a builtin wet bar and builtin bookshelves under staircase

Built-ins add to the value of the home by embellishing the personalization of the space. This built-in home wet bar as well as these built-in bookshelves found beneath the staircase create a sense of class with a touch of fun. This wet bar tucked neatly away under the stairs is truly making the most of this particular corner of the home. A perfect area to entertain your family and guests in, cheers to this custom home feature!

Bring harmony

bring harmony to your space with a built in workspace

Built-ins add to the value of the home by echoing the same space-savvy design principles and creating a sense of harmony. By repeating the principles into the top of the stairs here, it connects all areas from the very bottom of the staircase through the built-in bookshelves and built-in wet bar to the very top of the staircase featuring this built-in workspace. Thoughtful design develops throughout the home—great design creates a flow from room to room, the previous space building upon the next.

So the question still stands…

do built-ins increase the value of a home?

Does the addition of organization, personalization, and harmonization increase the value of a home?

Well, there you have it—time to add this design principle to the plans.
