Must-Have Features for Your Des Moines Home

A home remodel can increase the value of your home while also making it easier to enjoy your time living there. At MBG Renovation, we encourage homeowners to think outside the box when the time comes to remodel. Here are a few of the must-have features that can help turn your house into your dream home.

Luxury Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most frequently visited rooms in your entire home. Because of all of its use, it is typically the first room homeowners seek to remodel. When remodeling your kitchen, you should try to keep in mind how you will use the space and incorporate features that'll make it more convenient and beautiful like: 

• Custom Cabinetry. Custom-designed cabinets add elegance while meeting your unique kitchen storage needs.
• Oversized Kitchen Island. Oversized islands provide extra food prep areas and storage space. If you enjoy entertaining, work with your contractor to install a seating area for guests and family members.
• Luxury Countertops. Countertop material trends change from time to time. Today, quartz counters are the most popular among homeowners in Des Moines.
• Walk-in Pantry. You will love all of the additional storage that a walk-in pantry offers for your dry goods, appliances, and cookware.

Cozy Living Room

Fireplaces make living rooms cozy, warm, and inviting. You don't necessarily need a chimney to have a fireplace thanks to all of the amazing new electric, canned fuel, vapor, and ventless gas fireplace inserts. These inserts are affordable and come in a variety of colors and styles. You can also make your living room feel even more inviting with a beautiful wood floor and custom built-ins similar to the ones pictured above.    

Ample Storage

Why struggle with small closets, when you can have a large walk-in space to hold all of your clothes and shoes? Walk-in closets make it easier to keep your home organized while also making your home more attractive to buyers, should you decide to sell. Our experienced team can help you install a closet organizer for even more convenience. 

Finished Basement

A finished basement adds square footage to your home, which can increase the sale price significantly if you're planning to sell. It also makes an excellent place to create a playroom or game room to send the kids when they're being rowdy. Additionally, it gives you an extra television-viewing area to settle arguments when your family members can't agree on what to watch. See how long it takes to finish a basement.

Bonus Room

Add a bonus room onto your house! Bonus rooms add square footage and give you extra space to spread out. If you have a large family, adding a bonus room makes it easier to find a private place to spend time. Not sure what to do with your bonus room? We've got some ideas:

• Media Room
• Home Office
• Guest Bedroom
• Game Room
• Home Gym

Spa-Like Master Bathroom

The master bathroom is your place to relax privately and in luxury. Our team can help you decide which features will fit in your budget like:

• Walk-in Shower with Dual Shower Heads
• Extra Deep Soaking Tub
• Custom Storage / Vanity
• Marble Tile
• Chandelier / Vanity Lighting

Energy-Efficient Windows and Doors

Energy efficient windows and doors can save you money and help you maintain a more comfortable temperature in your home. Look for the ENERGY STAR label on windows and doors before selecting a model that's right for you or ask the experts at MBG Renovation for some help finding the right ones for your home.

Open Floor Plan

Open floor plans enable homeowners to spend time together with their family members and friends even while going about your daily routines or by connecting different use rooms. If your home is a little more enclosed than you would like, we can help rework and remove walls to connect your different spaces. Keep in mind that removing walls can be dangerous if it's not done by a knowledgeable contractor, so make sure to work with a professional.
