Many people would agree that building a new home is an exciting opportunity to live the way you’ve always dreamed. If you’re lucky enough to do it, congratulations! You might be wondering how you can upgrade your living experience as well as personalize it. After all, if you have the budget, why not take advantage of the best upgrades available?

5 Upgrades to Consider for Your New Home

1. Drawers for Pots & Pans

Some of the most difficult-to-store kitchen items include pots, pans, and over-sized baking trays. If you’ve ever had a small kitchen, you’re probably familiar with the conundrum of never having enough space for these. If you want to take kitchen storage to the next level, consider getting pots and pans drawers. These are much deeper and sturdier than other drawers, making them the perfect storage solution for small appliances, pots, and other items.

2. Overhanging Microwave

Now that you have the opportunity to create a kitchen tailored to your needs, you can plan to have your microwave installed somewhere convenient and out of the way. For many people, this means having an overhanging microwave, which frees countertop space.

3. Overhead Fridge Storage Cabinet

To take full advantage of available space, it’s important to look upwards and outwards. For example, consider installing a cabinet above your fridge. It could be the perfect place for extra pantry items or crockery — especially if you’re tall. Overhead cabinets will not only add utility to an otherwise unused space but could also accent your design.

4. Carpet Underpadding

5. High-End Tile

Kitchen and bathroom floor tiling is notoriously difficult to tear out and reinstall. While you’re planning out upgrades for your new home, think about getting higher-end tile from the outset. Not only will it look better than cheaper materials, but it will also last longer.
