Everyone needs a hobby or two, and if you’re looking for hobbies that can elevate your home and give you real results that might even improve the property and increase value, you have choices.
Sure, your hobby needs to be something you enjoy doing, but if it has the added benefit of improving your life and you can useto improve your home, it’s a win-win situation. Let’s take a look at some hobbies you might want to take up that can help you improve your living conditions and give you something that enhances your life, too.
Gardening
Gardening has many benefits, from improving your health and fitness to boosting mental health and getting you outside of your house. It’s a great and fulfilling way to spend time and learning as much as you can about your new hobby, and honing your skills can bring you immense joy. Plus, a thriving garden full of life with plants such as daylilies, roses, magnolias, crab apples, etc, as well as greenery, can help you increase your home value. A well-maintained garden can add as much as 20% to property values, too.
DIY and Decorating
Basic DIY skills are a benefit regardless of whether or not you want to boost your property value. But the fact that some simple DIY tasks can also boost property value is an added bonus.
From learning how to paint walls for exceptional finishes, using the right painting tools and prepping the walls properly cannot only boost aesthetics within the property but also appeal to potential buyers too.
Personalising your home and keeping it in good condition by learning DIY skills can also elevate the home and help you create a space you love that is unique to you and your lifestyle, and features that additional people are willing to pay extra for.
Home Staging
Home staging is similar to designing your home, but allows you to create spaces that allow others to visualise themselves living in them, and this is a skill that is essential for selling properties. You can start by learning your craft at home and staging each room.
This is more of a visual hobby than others, and there are probably hints as to what you can do within your own home, but perfecting this means you can branch out and even create an entirely new career. Plus, well-staged homes sell faster and for more money on average, so if you can perfect this skill and you’re planning on selling, you’re already on top!
Upcycling
Upcycling is a real skill that requires an eye for detail, creativity, and a passion to bring old items back to life. Not only are you helping the environment by avoiding sending items to landfill, but you are also able to create unique pieces that you can keep or sell on, and these days the market for upcycled products is huge, and if you’re planning on selling these items, it could be what makes or breaks the sale,ny giving potential viewers eye-catching pieces to focus on.
Interior Design
Interior design encapsulates most of these hobbies, and the idea is simply designing a home that feels cohesive and appealing, and creates a story, making people feel like they’re a part of something, not just living in a soulless building. It’s the merging of colour and furniture placement, lighting, and even scents to draw people in and deliver a living environment that speaks to people.
