Usually upgrades to your home would increase the value. Not in this case. Here are five things that would decrease the value of your house. Number one reason in no order is converting bedrooms into other rooms for storage or anything else. If you list your house on the market as a 3 bedroom house and the potential buyer come in and sees two bedrooms and another room with boxes in it, that doesn't look good on your part. Second are hot tubs because some people find them gross, expensive to maintain and hard to remove once installed. Third is colored trim and wall with any kind of texture on them. This is because if you wanted to remove one of these you cant just simply paint over them, you would need to sand it all down. Fourth is a children's styled bedroom. Money spend on colorful paint, funny shaped ceiling fans and unique carpets is money you wont get back when you sell the house. Lastly too much landscaping, because it will cover up the beauty of the house its self.
