When it comes to increasing the value of your home, certain renovations can yield a substantial return on investment. Today's homebuyers often look for modern, functional spaces and eye-catching spaces with up-to-date, stylish details. If you are planning to sell or simply want to enhance the value of your property, consider focusing on renovations that appeal to a wide range of potential buyers.

Here are two home renovations that increase home value and appeal:

Kitchen remodel with new countertops

The kitchen is often referred to as the heart of the home, and it's typically the first area buyers look at when evaluating a property. A well-designed, updated kitchen can significantly boost your home's value. Even a modest remodel, such as upgrading countertops, installing modern cabinets, or adding energy-efficient appliances, can make a significant difference.

"High-quality finishes, such as granite or quartz countertops, modern appliances, and a fresh coat of paint, can give your kitchen a fresh new up to date feel," said Alan Jorgensen, CEO of Utah's Bedrock Quartz.

Here are some reasons the kitchen is so important.

  • Renovating your kitchen creates a more functional, stylish space.
  • Investing in high-end materials can make a lasting positive impression.
  • If you love your kitchen, you'll likely spend more time there and make more home-prepared meals, which will avoid blowing the budget on eating out.
  • Research shows that gathering for family meals is a ritual that pays dividends in family memories and togetherness.
  • Updated kitchens are highly desired by home buyers

Bathroom renovation

Bathrooms are another area where small upgrades can lead to big returns. Upgrading outdated bathrooms or adding an extra half or full bath can greatly increase the value of your home.

"Features like modern fixtures, new tile flooring, upgraded showers or tubs, and a sleek vanity with quartz or quartzite counters can provide an updated, luxurious bathroom experience," said Scot Nichols, Bedrock Quartz director of sales.

Master bathrooms are especially important, as many buyers seek spacious, spa-like environments.

Here are some reasons appealing bathrooms are so important.

  • Everyone uses bathrooms daily, so they are highly functional spaces--updates provide instant appeal.
  • A bathroom remodel is relatively less expensive compared to other renovations, but offers a high return.
  • Improved energy efficiency in the bathroom (e.g., low-flow toilets and showers) can be attractive to environmentally conscious buyers.
  • A clean, up-to-date bathroom provides a place to relax and rejuvenate from daily stress.
