Within the world of Schell and ALL the amazing personalization options, it can honestly feel a little overwhelming deciding where to invest. The good news? Every Schell home comes beautifully designed right from the start. You truly don’t need to add a single thing to end up with a gorgeous home. BUT… isn’t it fun to add a little flair?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The question becomes: where should you spend your personalization dollars if you’re looking to get the most bang for your buck? In a world full of do’s and don’ts, Pinterest boards, TikTok trends, and everyone’s cousin’s opinion on what you have to have, here’s my take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number One: Kitchens<\/strong>
If you’ve spent any amount of time around real estate, you’ve probably heard that kitchens sell homes. Studies consistently show that kitchen updates are one of the top features buyers look for and can have a strong impact on resale value. Now, before everyone jumps in and says, “I’m never selling!”… that’s exactly what everyone says when they buy a new home.
And maybe you’re right! Maybe you’ll be there forever. But if that day ever comes, future-you will appreciate investing in a space that people actually care about. Plus, let’s be honest. We spend a lot of time in our kitchens. Coffee happens there. Snacks happen there. Spills happen there. Standing around pretending to help while someone else cooks happens there. It’s worth making it a space you love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Up: Primary Bathrooms<\/strong>
A good primary bathroom just hits differently. There’s something about walking into a beautiful shower after a long day and thinking, “Yep. This was worth it.” Bathroom upgrades also tend to hold their value well because, shockingly, people enjoy nice bathrooms. Who knew?<\/p>\n\n\n

Flooring<\/strong>
I feel like flooring doesn’t always get the attention it deserves. It’s literally everywhere. You see it in every room, every day, and upgrading flooring can completely change the look and feel of a home. It’s one of those things that may not feel exciting in the design studio, but once you’re living in the home, you’re glad you did it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big One: Structural Personalizations<\/strong>
If I had to pick one category people should really think about, it’s structural options. I’m talking about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
