Top 7 Unique Upgrades You Didn’t Know You Needed

We all have some sort of idea on how our dream home might look. It usually includes something like a “big kitchen island” or “pool with a great yard” or maybe even a “spa-like master bath”.  While those are certainly desirable features by today’s standards, let’s go a little bit beyond the basics.   Let’s look at some upgrades you can do to your home that you had no idea you needed, until now. These are the top 7 most unique and inspiring upgrades you MUST see.

1) Hammock over the stairs

For those of you with acrophobia, go ahead and skip to the next one, this isn’t for you! With the right space in a multi-level home imagine lounging on an oversized hammock while reading, or taking a snooze. Not a bad way to spend a few hours just hanging out.

 

2) Spiral Wine Staircase

If you have no room for a wine cellar on the main floor, why not build down so you can enjoy your own private temperature controlled 300 bottle of wine vault? Before you say “that’s way too expensive and I can’t justify an entire underground wine cellar!” just remember you can use it as a nuclear fallout bunker for your family, do it for the kids!  This is a very real product that can be installed in your house right now, take a look at http://www.genuwinecellars.com/wine-cellars/spiral-wine-cellars/

 

3) Vacuum Baseboards

It doesn’t matter if you are a clean freak, or not so much, EVERYONE can appreciate this one. So maybe installing in your current house isn’t feasible (unless you already have a central vac system), but if I’m building a new house, you better bet I’m getting this priced out.  YES PLEASE.

 

4) Swing Set Table

This is one slick idea. I think we all have an inner kid in us that would love to hang out (yes, the same pun AGAIN…) at this table.  You can pick one of these up from Duffy London for around $10,000 at https://duffylondon.com/

 

5) Outdoor theater

There’s probably no better place I can think of to have one of these than in Arizona.   The nights are mild and just about any size yard can accommodate.  Whether its movies, or watching the Cardinals lose another game, it’s cheaper and easier than ever to set up a backyard drive in.

 

6) Studio Shed

You could always fill a backyard shed with tools, but what fun is that? Whether it’s a man-cave, a she-shed, or anything in between, these prefabricated “sheds” are a pretty awesome upgrade to a backyard. Just think, you could add a yoga studio, fitness room, art room, pool room, kids play room, poolside bar, you name it.  The extra room you wished you had in your house can be delivered to your doorstep.

7) Indoor Slide

If you never wanted one of these as a kids you are lying to yourself! It’s every kids dream, yet a rarely reality. But is it really that far-fetched? With the right floorplan, this could actually be relatively simple to have put in. You know you would go down it too…
