possibility of turning one big room into two smaller ones. Adding a bedroom in either of these ways can be a great way to increase both potential buyers’ attention and your home’s value. Before you go building any walls, though, you want to make sure it makes sense. You don’t want the new room to be too small, because buyers looking at the house for that added bedroom will be disappointed. There are other things to consider as well, such as what buyers in the area look for. For instance, if they’re mainly looking for two bedrooms, a third one could actually turn them away. Regardless of whether you add a bedroom or not, keep in mind the same concepts as with other rooms: clean, decluttered, and welcoming. Bedrooms are a good place for inexpensive updates, such as: • repainting the walls • adding new bedding, throw pillows, lamps, or other inexpensive décor • adding storage solutions—anything from simple shelves to closet organizers (or closets, if you have the space!)
