Small Changes to Your Bathrooms Can Add Value
Having bathrooms in good condition and up to date adds value to your property.
Updating bathroom spaces to sell
You can help increase the appeal to potential purchasers who will feel they can move in and not have to make any changes for a period of time.
Updating bathroom spaces as a homeowner
When you think about it, given the frequency and amount of time spent in the bathroom (that goes for both men and women here) investing in improving the feel and functionality of this space for use as a homeowner while also adding value to your property can also be worthwhile.
You may not have to spend as much on updating your bathroom as you think. First, apart from budget, think about whether the main or second bathroom, ensuite or powder room is to be in a similar style as the rest of the home.
You may like to go for a completely different style. Consider the size and location of the space, age or needs and number of users.
You’ll need to bear in mind aspects such as shapes working well together from tapware to toilets and the end result translating into both a functional and appealing space.
Some ways to update and change the feel of your bathroom space:
- With changing rends, new tapware will give a modern look.
- New cabinet handles can provide a different or updated look.
- Replacing the shower head old for new or as an update also improving water efficiency.
- Replace the vanity e.g. a floating vanity unit or with legs also allows easier cleaning.
- Decide on a more modern style of sink e.g. counter top vanity basin or from one to two basins can add value.
- Add or replace a mirror with suitable lighting for applying makeup or shaving. A heated bathroom mirror to avoid ‘fogging’. A bathroom mirror cabinet provides easy access to your necessities
- For those cooler months, a heated towel rail.
- A bath in good shape is a priority if you have young children or many potential purchasers are likely young families in your area.
- Adding a pendant light or other shaped light over the bath for example for more character or feeling of luxury.
- Install waterproof speakers so you can listen to your style of music.
- Window treatments e.g. new blinds or shutters in white is a great neutral choice.
- Would a sliding door improve space limitations?
- Colour – for a change or to add more colour by painting walls or tiles, new feature or coloured tiles. The use of accessories and towels contrast a white clean look
- Storage – installing storage, particularly in smaller ensuites or powder rooms, above or beside your toilet or unused corner can maximise the use of space, whether that’s shelves, cubes or cabinets.
