Tired of your garden looking bare and boring? A well-maintained and tidy garden can do wonders for the value of your home. And, since the pandemic, us Brits have realised the importance of having a nice outdoor space to spend time relaxing and entertaining.
At Open Space Concepts, we’re passionate about improving your home by investing in your garden space, and one way you can do this is by installing an outdoor kitchen. In this blog, we’ll take you through some of the other best home improvements you should consider if you want to increase its value.
Let’s get into it…
The best home improvements to make to add value to your property
Transforming your garden has been known to add significant value to your property, with the AA finding that owning a house with a garden can increase the value of your house by up to 16%. Furthermore, having a landscaped garden could add up to 70% to your property value. This is without the addition of outdoor living structures such as a glass veranda, so you can only imagine the value of your home if you made this investment.
Below, we’ve got 5 of the best home improvements you can make to your garden, especially if you want to increase its value. For more information, check out our blog: How To Add Value To Your Home.
Without further ado, let’s have a look at them in a bit more detail…
- Outdoor kitchen
First up on our list of best home improvements is to invest in an outdoor kitchen. Bring the magic of cooking outdoors and create a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor spaces. An outdoor kitchen is a desirable feature for many home-buyers and can help to increase your home’s overall value, should you wish to sell. If you enjoy hosting and cooking and have some spare outdoor space, this is one of the best improvements you can make.
Whether you’re after an L-shaped outdoor kitchen or a modular outdoor kitchen, Open Space Concepts is the place to go for completely bespoke designs. Investing in one of our custom outdoor kitchens allows you to spend more time outdoors doing the things you love most – cooking and socialising with loved ones.
- A garden room
Another great way to improve your outdoor space is to consider an insulated garden room. This outdoor living structure will not only add value to your home, but is completely versatile and can be used for multiple purposes, whether that’s a gym, office, or art studio. Because of its insulated properties, you can enjoy consistent temperature in all seasons, come rain or shine.
At Open Space Concepts, our garden rooms can be entirely customised to suit not only your needs but also your space. Built from aluminium, double glazing, and insulated wooden panels, these strong structures will also help to add appeal for potential buyers, a great investment for not only now, but the future, too.
- Upgrade your shed
Do you have an old garden shed that’s looking tatty and scruffy? Perhaps you want to give it a makeover and add a modern twist? Luckily for you, there are plenty of ways you can do this, whether that’s knocking it down and starting from scratch or implementing some simple design elements.
While you could convert your shed into an outdoor kitchen, you could also turn it into a relaxing space to practise your hobbies, a design studio, or even an outdoor gym. Or, utilise this extra space and use it as extra storage for gardening tools, outdoor equipment, bikes, and more. Ensuring that your shed is well-maintained and looking stylish will make your garden seem even more visually appealing, adding value and desirability to your home.
- A modern pergola
Another home improvement idea that will add value to your garden is to consider a pergola. Allowing you to enjoy your space all year round, our range of bespoke modern pergolas are made specifically to meet your requirements and are the perfect space for entertaining guests and relaxing with loved ones. A pergola can seamlessly blend with our outdoor kitchens, allowing you to cook up a storm no matter the weather.
Equipped with a versatile louvred roof, a pergola allows you to have complete control over your outdoor environment. It comes with the option to add features such as LED spotlights and infrared heating, offering much more than just style.

- A conservatory
Our final suggestion is a classic yet still popular home improvement to make – the humble conservatory. As well as offering a range of benefits that enhance your lifestyle, they can also significantly increase your property value. A conservatory can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a dining room, playroom, home office, or simply a relaxing retreat to escape to and relax with a good book.
At Open Space Concepts, we offer bespoke conservatories that can be tailored to match the exterior aesthetic of your home. So, not only are they incredibly functional, but they’re also super stylish and stunning. A conservatory will add value to your property as it offers extra practical living space and will enhance the overall appeal of your garden.
