Typically during transactions or refinancing, or whenever significant improvements are made.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price.

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.
