Whether you're trying to sell your home or simply add contemporary upgrades to boost its value, a few simple changes can go a long way. If you're not sure where to start, here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

The number of people working from home is steadily increasing and having a comfortable work space is a must. If you have a spare bedroom, turn it into a workspace and add a few finishing touches to make it special:

• a coat of paint
• shelving for organization
• updated window treatments

Window shades are not only useful for reducing glare and heat, but they’re also a stylish upgrade that will boost the value of your home.

Outfit your master bedroom with modern features. Consider things current buyers are looking for, such as minimalist floating shelves and hardwood floors. Also consider smart additions like heated flooring, automatic faucets, and sensor lights for the master bathroom.

A roof replacement is one renovation that will pay off in a big way. A new roof is a project house hunters would rather keep off their to-do lists for as many years as possible. Having a new roof not only increases the curb appeal, but also gives your home an edge over others in the market.

A lush lawn might not be in the cards for Las Vegas homeowners, but that doesn't mean that you can't green up your space with a few native plants and architectural details to add beauty. If you have a patio, deck or stone walkway, give it a power wash to make it look like new again, then add some potted and hanging plants for an inviting aesthetic.
