Kitchens and bathrooms sell a house. If you are thinking of a bathroom remodel before you list your home, we have some ideas that are budget-friendly. You may be wondering what you should focus on. Bathrooms can be pricey but if you do some simple changes, it may work better than a complete transformation. Here are some ideas that will increase the resale value of your home.
A simple remodel should focus on flooring, tiles, vanity, and bathtub or shower. There are hardly any home renovations that will give you a return on investment as much as a coherent design for your bathroom.
Focus on the vanity.
If you find that you really don’t like the design of your bathroom, focus on the vanity. It is surprising what a swap out for a new vanity can do for your bathroom. If you are only going to do one big change – make it the vanity, especially if it is outdated or worn out. It will cost you anywhere from $300 and up. There are so many ideas you can do to update your vanity.
- Consider a piece of furniture like a dresser or sideboard with drawers for storage.
- Try a console table with distressed paint for a shabby chic look complete with a vessel sink and a shelf below for towels or spare toiletries.
- Repurpose a standard table with a large double sink. Complete it with a stone counter to resist water damage.
Change the layout!
If you have a small bathroom, just changing the layout may give your bathroom more space. Rearranging certain items can give a completely different look. Check with some professionals before you start to make sure the plumbing and electrical can be accomplished to change the footprint of your bathroom.
Just have a shower.
Some homeowners prefer a shower to a bathtub. Surprisingly not everyone with standalone tubs uses them as much as showers. These tubs can be hard to clean too. If you are thinking of going the shower-only route, you might want to opt for a walk-in shower that appeals to a wider audience.
If you already have a shower that needs a little love, change the tiles to a more modern design.
Have a tighter budget? Here are some ideas for you!
- Replace the faucets and showerheads with a different colour, like matte black or brass.
- Add a neutral coat of paint to the walls.
- Paint rather than replace your vanity.
- Add interesting accessories like plants, baskets, and white towels to your décor.
There are lots of ideas for remodelling your bathroom. Just remember you want to create a mood that your buyers will want when they see it. Set aside trends in favour of a more universal look.
