What’s a Significant Increase in Property Value Worth to You?

Interior upgrades aren’t just about enhancing enjoyment, livability, and functionality for occupants and guests of a given household. The right upgrades can effectively increase property value by an average of 20%. It’s an investment that delivers a tangible return on investment (ROI) through the years of homeownership.

Use Home Equity to Pay for Interior Design Upgrades?

To reiterate what we’ve stated above as far as property value increases are concerned, you can clearly see that interior design is an investment that delivers an ROI. However, what if you don’t have the money in your account or room on your credit card to cover the costs? Considering the forthcoming boost in property value, simply take out a home equity loan to pay for your investment. It’s a very common practice that your current lender or mortgage broker can easily assist with.

Considering everything above, we suggest that instead of asking if you can afford an interior designer, the question should be - can you afford not to hire one? At the end of the day doing so pays intangible and tangible dividends. We’re happy to discuss your questions and concerns further at your convenience.
