Bathroom Renovations
Thinking of freshening up your bathroom? Here are some things you should consider to help your home’s value before you start your renovation.
Tub or Shower?
Depending on the bathroom you’re planning to renovate, choosing to include a tub can be very important. Having at least one bathtub in your home can be attractive to home buyers, especially those with young families. This will be an asset to your resale value.
However, if you are renovating a bathroom that does not need a tub, standing showers, doorless showers, and statement showers are currently trending and can really modernize your space. Including nooks in your shower for all your personal care items can also help eliminate clutter and keep your bathroom looking neat and tidy.
Flooring
Inexpensive vinyl, porcelain, or ceramic tiles have started to become more popular in bathroom renovations. Choosing non-slip flooring can be good for buyers with young children, and adding in underfloor heating is something that can add value to your home as well.
Accessibility
When considering a bathroom renovation, thinking long term when it comes to accessibility is a great way to make your bathroom more appealing to potential future home buyers. Planning an accessible space can help eliminate the need to redo the bathroom later on.
Some considerations to make it accessible are:
Wide Shower Entry
Shower Seat
Handheld Shower
Secure Grab Bars
Elevated Toilet
Easy-to-Use Faucet
Storage
Creating effective bathroom storage is key when planning your bathroom renovation. Choosing storage solutions that make sense for your space will help your resale value. Think about whether the bathroom is for guests, your kids, or yourself to decide which options will work best. Some quick ways to add storage are creating cubbies or shelves in your shower, choosing a vanity with drawers or cupboards, adding floating shelves, and installing medicine cabinets.
