Internal doors add value to a home

Improving the curb appeal of your home by updating your front door is a common way of increasing the value of your home. A high-quality new front door has the highest return on investment on a home remodelling project with up to a 91% return when you sell the home.

The front door isn’t the only door you should consider replacing though, if you’re looking to add value to your property.

Replacing your internal doors can also boost your home’s value. If your current doors are starting to look tired and outdated, new interior doors will likely add aesthetic appeal, which can be a huge selling point.

So, how can you open the door to a higher valuation?

How to add value to your home with new interior doors?

To maximise the value added from replacing internal doors, it’s best to replace all doors at one time for consistency.

Replacing doors can really change a home, particularly if you choose to replace solid doors with glazed internal doors. This can help light flow through your home and make it feel more open and welcoming.

Also consider experimenting with different styles to see how they complement your décor. If you’re a dab hand at DIY you may feel up to the task of hanging the doors yourself as a way of cutting costs.
