We always talk about interior design upgrades that can instantly boost the value of your home. From single-day projects—like switching up the color of your front door—to more in-depth home renovations like updating the kitchen, and giving your bathroom a makeover.

"It elevates a property as a whole and creates a magical element that is hard to achieve in any other way."
