That’s why it’s important to keep your bathroom looking modern with stylish fixtures that increase buyer appeal. Even changes like an updated bathroom vanity can improve the overall look of your bathroom and push buyers to choose your home.
Why Bathroom Remodels Add Value?
The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in your home. So you want it looking fresh and modern. So do new home buyers who will pay a premium if it means they don’t have to take on a bathroom renovation when buying a new home.
The return on investment of a bathroom renovation can be significant reaching as high as 75 percent. So when you are renovating a bathroom it’s important to choose the right design features and fixtures.
Flooring
A key feature to consider upgrading is your flooring. If you have old laminate or carpet, swap it for modern ceramic or tile. For added luxury choose marble or granite.
This will last longer and create a sense of elegance that will impress potential buyers. Consider adding heated flooring if you live in an area that is cool during the winter.
Vanity, Faucet, and Countertops
Everyone enjoys a clean and elegant surface in the bathroom. So choose a vanity and fixtures that create a space that is bright and functional.
His and her sinks are a great way to add value and extra space to your bathroom. A large vanity also increases storage space and reduces clutter.
Bathroom Cabinets and Storage
We have mentioned the importance of storage, but how do you effectively incorporate it into your design? Choose cabinets and storage options that allow you to enhance functionality such as enough space to store toiletries and towels.
If you want to improve the look of your cabinets, think updating the hardware or refinishing the surface.
Shower or Bathtub
When doing a bathroom renovation, you want to create as many opportunities for luxury and relaxation as possible. There are many great shower and bathtub options that let you do just that. If you no longer use your bathtub, consider adding a larger shower with features like a steamshower.
Enjoy a good soak at the end of the day? Create the perfect escape with a sunken tub that lets the stress wash away.
