Ceiling Fans and Light Fixtures that Increase the Value of Kalamazoo Homes
Investments made in your home are some of the most sound investments you can make. Even if you don’t plan on selling your home, improvements made in your home benefit you every day you live there. If you do plan on selling your home, then installing light fixtures and ceiling fans can add a surprising amount of value.
Homeowners like to have options in their living space, since everyone likes to feel in control of their home. If it’s too hot in the living room, being able to make the decision between turning on a ceiling fan, increasing the AC, and opening a window grants a feeling of autonomy that everyone should have in their own home. In this month’s blog post, we’ll be discussing how you can add value to your home by installing ceiling fans and light fixtures.
Installing Ceiling Fans to Add Value to Your Home
Ceiling fans add a few qualities to the home that add a striking amount of value for the cost of installation. Though high-quality ceiling fans can be purchased for as little as $100, they add 3 main qualities to homes that you should be aware of.
1. Air Circulation and Eco-Friendly Cooling
As you likely expect, the main draw of a ceiling fan is cheap, effective air circulation it offers. Unlike AC units, which run up a tall bill every month without circulating much air, fans will cool you down and circulate air at low prices. Naturally, adding a ceiling fan to your kitchen or dining room is one of the best possible places, kitchen/dining areas are subject to increases in heat due to ovens and strong smells from cooking.
2. Lighting
Most ceiling fans also act as a secondary lighting source, which make them preferable for rooms that benefit from intimate lighting options. Ceiling fans in dining rooms, for instance, provide a sense of comfort that standard, harsher lights don’t.
3. Aesthetic
An often-overlooked reason for installing a ceiling fan is for its aesthetic contributions to your home. Quality ceiling fans with wooden blades provide any room with a rustic, alluring feeling that elevates any room’s aesthetic.
Increasing Home Value with Light Fixtures
Both in conjunction with ceiling fans and absent them entirely, every home benefits from an abundance of light fixtures. Light fixtures add a feeling of cheer to any room, and simply make people feel more capable of taking on the day’s challenges. Proper lighting also makes guests to your home (both friends and prospective buyers) feel much more welcome. Well-lit rooms make visitors feel like you have nothing to hide, and invite them to explore their surroundings.
If you plan on selling your home, then ceiling fans and light fixtures are a surefire way to add monetary value without breaking your bank. If you don’t plan on selling, they add value another way—through the joys you experience because of their presence.
