8. Invest in high-end statement pieces.
Statement pieces, when well-designed, will significantly increase the value of a house. That can be the difference between a home sitting on the market for a long time and one that sells almost immediately. Even if you want to remain in your home for several years, it is always something that visitors will see as they enter a room. Their gaze would be drawn to the statement item first, then travel across the room like a portrait.
A statement object may be anything from a wall art piece to a statue, light fixture, doors, stained glass windows, and more. When you see it, you'll remember. You can quickly sell statement pieces later on because they retain their value. They can even help to improve the value of your house.
