Everybody could use a spa bath. The idea of upgrading your house plan doesn’t get much more tempting than when you think about a spectacularly relaxing oasis.

Other Ideas for Upgrading Your House Plan
While the kitchen and bathrooms are some of the most popular places to focus on upgrading a house plan, there are actually other options both inside and out. Many of these touches can get overlooked by homeowners. Stand out and show your ultimate attention to detail by creating a home that you will love for a lifetime.
Windows Galore
One easy way to create curb appeal is by choosing the right windows for your home. For a Craftsman plan, you may want to consider windows with divided lights for detail, while a modern plan would be better finished with large, sleek panes. Always purchase from a reputable company to ensure that the style is durable and your home is protected.
