The do’s and don’ts of remodeling your bathroom
July 29, 2020
Whether you’re looking to sell or just hoping to add personal comfort, upgrading your bathroom can significantly increase your home’s marketability. Here are a few ways you can enhance your lavatory and add long-term value to your household:
Bathtub or shower upgrade
- Investing in a separate tub for soaking can turn your bathroom into a luxurious, spa-like environment. A jacuzzi tub or steam shower can also add the same effect!
- Replacing your old bathtub for a walk-in shower can be a great way to conserve space in a bathroom that lacks area.
- Room for seating in a renovated bath can be a desirable feature for residents looking for something handicap accessible.
New Toilet
- Dual-flash models and other high-efficiency toilets are well worth considering if you’re interested in a new way to conserve water.
- Isolating your toilet behind a wall or partial wall can be a desirable renovation to increase your bathroom’s privacy.
- If you have room in your budget, consider upgrading to a smart toilet! Models can offer a range of amenities, including automatic flushing, bidet wash, and heated seats.
Sink or faucet remodel
- If you’re tired of a messy handle or hoping to limit the spread of germs, installing a faucet with touchless technology can be an exciting improvement to your bathroom’s upgrade.
- Upgrading your single-bowl vanity to a double-bowl vanity can be a high selling point and luxurious addition to a bathroom with available space.
- Water-saving features are another convenient option. Keep your eye out for the EPA’s WaterSense label when shopping for your next new faucet.
Other upgrades to consider:
- Heated floors: This form of heat is excellent in cold climates for its energy efficiency, even distribution of heat, and added comfort for chilly mornings.
- Water filtration system: If you’re having problems with hard water, water filtration systems in your home can assist your water softener in reducing sediment deposits on well or city water systems.
*Before deciding on any major renovations, it is recommended to talk with a trusted real estate agent to make sure your plans are appropriate for your home’s market.
