Do yourself a favor: buy some fiber cables, two switches and connect both ends like that. This is the only way to "future proof" it (past 1 Gbps) and will avoid you pulling cables for a while - I hope.

You can make it work with 2.5GbE and maybe even 10 GbE with some luck. But looking at its current state and price I personally would agree that fiber is more future proof.
I also think that fiber (per meter) is more cost effective than copper anyways for home use, so for me it's a no-brainer
