13. Build in Some Shelves
Maybe it’s the tiny home craze, but there’s just something immensely satisfying about a space with lots of handy built-in storage nooks. The good news is, homebuyers think so too — trendy features like Shaker cabinets often encourage homes to sell for nearly 10 percent more than expected.
Average Cost: You’ll likely pay between $2,000 and $5,000 for materials and labor on built-in cabinetry, entertainment nooks and bookcases, or you can drastically reduce costs by going the DIY route and spending about $500 or less on materials to install yourself.*
