Every homeowner has a different set of “must-haves” when it comes to shopping for a home. Whether that be having a garage or a fenced backyard, everyone wants something a little different. However, there are a couple of rooms that will always be relevant when shopping for a home. No matter if you are a first-time homebuyer or this is your third home, the most important rooms in a house should weigh heavily in your mind. Not only when buying a home, but selling as well!
Here are some of the most important rooms in a house that you should consider when choosing the right home for you!
- Kitchen
- Master bath
- Living room
Kitchen
A kitchen is the heart of a home and one of the most important rooms in a house. For starters, everyone will use this room! Throughout the life of your home, this will be where you feed your family, grab snacks for a movie night, and contemplate tough questions over a bowl of ice cream. You’ll create memories of baking, cooking, hanging pictures on the fridge, and trying not to burn the house down. Because of this, you shouldn’t skimp on your wish list for your kitchen! One of the secrets about buying a home is finding the right kitchen. Just think about all the great times you had in a kitchen with a loved one or relative and it’ll become clear why it is THE most important room in your house.
Not to mention, upgrading your kitchen will also give the value of your home a boost. Adding new cabinets, backsplash, or a new sink is always going to make the price of your home skyrocket. Everyone is always looking to get more value out of a kitchen because it is used by each member of the family. Don’t skimp when remodeling or searching for your next home. It’s worth the money.
Master bath
While not everyone is going to use this room, that doesn’t mean it isn’t majorly important. The right house for you will have a great master bath. A master bath is a place you go to unwind. It’s that 15-minute shower where you can decompress from the day. It’s the small moment you look at yourself in the mirror at the start of the day and say, “I can do this!”, before you rush the kids to school, go to work, pick up the kids, cook dinner, and more!
Look for features like:
- Separate sinks
- A big bathtub
- A great shower
- New tile
Living Room
Whether buying a vacation home or your forever home, one of the most important rooms in a house is the living room. A living room can bring a home together as no other room can. It’s the hangout spot, the movie night spot, the “I just need to sit here and contemplate my life for a sec” spot. A living room can turn into a pillow fortress or a room filled with lava. In short, it’s the fun zone. You’ll entertain guests here, snuggle in soft furniture, and build your family story in this room. There are endless possibilities to what you can do in your living room when you choose the right home.
Even more important, there are endless ways to decorate your living room to make it really “feel like home!” Where the kitchen may be about the everyday actions of life and your bathroom may be your relaxation station, your living room is where you get to truly be the king of the castle. It’s where YOU create the adventure.
