7 Home Improvements You Might Regret

​When it comes to home improvement projects you’ll either make it or break it, but it’s more of the latter. Here are seven renovations you might want to skip before you regret it.

1. Turning Spare Room Intro a Walk-In Closet
   Transforming a spare room in your home into a walk-in closet might be a good idea at first. But by doing this, you are reducing the value of your home by up to 15 percent. If its storage that you want, try optimizing your existing storage by installing closet organizers and racks.
   
   
2. Sunroom Addition
   One of the projects that can cost you an arm and a leg is adding a sunroom. Aside from the expenses for the construction of the room, you will also need to purchase new furnishings. It's not a space that is worth investing your hard earn money.
   
   
3. Building A Swimming Pool
   The cost of having a swimming pool does not end after the construction but rather, it extends to regular maintenance, insurance, taxes, etc. If you want you own swimming pool, make sure that you are ready for the increase in your expenditures for its upkeep, or else you might regret it.
   
   
4. Bold Colors for Painting Exteriors
   When choosing colors for your home’s exterior don’t go overboard by painting your house’s exterior with bright and loud colors. You might end up with an eyesore than a statement to show off your personality.
   
   
5. Intricate Garden Landscaping
   Just like with a swimming pool, landscaping will cost you more in the long run because of the expensive yard work it requires. You need to be eager to invest a lot of your time, labor and money to maintain its beautiful façade.
   
   
6. Luxurious Bathroom Upgrades
   Fixing and adding features to your bathroom to make it more efficient is wise. But overspending on high-end materials and finishes is unnecessary. Remodeling your bathroom is not worth the time and cost as it will not add any value to your home.
   
   
7. DIYs or Substandard Projects
   Saving money on construction was never a great idea. Nor doing projects on your own will. Most of the time you might not like the result and may even be dangerous.

A botched project can do more damage to your home and financially. Why not spend it on more rewarding investment like home insurance?
