If you have a million dollar home, you may think that there isn't much that you can do to increase its value. This is not the case. It's always a good idea to give your home a luxury treatment and it can up the retail price of the property. In high-end properties, there is, even more, scope to do this as buyers have raised expectations.

Renovation

Whether you home is old or new, if you are looking for a top to bottom renovation job speak to a company like Million Dollar Makeovers. Getting a renovation is an excellent way of updating your home and adding to its value. You can address structural issues like moving walls and installing extra bathrooms and modernise the decor at the same time.

Extension

Another way to increase the value of your home is to add to the square footage. The higher the price of the home, the more space a potential buyer will expect. Most high-end homes have at least five bedrooms, so if yours doesn't make sure that you extend according. Buyers also expect ensuite bathrooms and dressing rooms in these types of properties. If you can't renovate to accommodate this, you will need to seriously consider extending.

Pool

What high-end home is complete without a swimming pool? If the home doesn't have a pool you could have one designed and built from scratch, something like inground vinyl pools are a great option as they're customisable in shape and size, offering flexibility in design. Maintenance tends to be easier and less expensive over time too. 

If there's an existing pool you could go for a pool remodel to upgrade what you have already. If summers are hot hot hot in your location, then an outdoor pool is perfect for cooling off in the heat, otherwise go with an indoor or covered version. Having a pool is often a dealbreaker when selling a luxury home.

Garden

Its is no good if you house is kitted out in all the latest trends and luxury and your garden look like a wasteland. The garden of a high-end home should be an extension of the living space. It should contain ample room for relaxation and quiet time. The plants and walkways should be well maintained, and weed free and the design should reflect the style of the home. You will need to use the services of a professional garden designer for this. Also, remember to employ someone to help you keep on top of the regular maintenance to get the best look possible. This way they won't be a lot of work to do if you do decide to sell. 

Games rooms

Another way of increasing the value of your luxury home is to have features that are original and unusual. Games rooms and home cinemas are trending right now. Games rooms can include pool and air hockey tables or even a home gym. Home theatres should have projectors and real cinema seats for that movie illusion. The idea is that you have all the luxury of going out for the evening while staying in. Perfect if you need to avoid the paparazzi.
