Beauty is skin deep, so is interior decorating / styling. I do find this laughable and like Spock from Star Trek used to say. "highly illogical".
Many owners splash out when they find their property is not up to scratch. As the article indicates, some even take up a loan to engage a property stylist to jazz up the house.
If buyers rush in to buy such properties, very likely they are overpaying for decorations that do not exist when they are removed after sale.
When come to spending money, I am a bit of a scrooge. However, I do realise that my wife and I work hard for years, and therefore we are not doing ourselves justice if we do not spend some on our own.
No, I do not mean just travelling overseas or having big feasts on occasions; we do add some improvement to our house. We are doing this not because we are considering moving, but to improve our "quality" of life.
You do not have to wait for the white paint to turn yellow, or the door knobs become an eye-sore; you have to do something about them sooner, for your own pleasure and enjoyment, without paying attention whether this will add extra thousands to the property value.
However, it is important not to over capitalise your property by adding expensive, but out-of-character and non-functional extensions. You may enjoy it as a pet project, but it may back fire when you sell the property later.
Thank you for reading.
