Consider enlarging existing spaces in your home. If you are lacking in adequate space, being able to set up the room the way you desire will be limited. One way to solve this is by expanding your space. Even a tiny bit of extra space can feel like a ton sometimes.

You should add areas that are for home recreation. Some of these features are hot tubs, saunas, and pools. That being said, a cheaper option is to add a home gym or outside basketball hoop, which will increase the value of a home.
