Let’s give credit to these rooms. Bathrooms are exceptionally vital spaces. What would we do without them?
That’s why it’s important to take good care of these spaces to keep them going. It also means that you need to update them from time to time to freshen them up and increase their life span. Furthermore, a well-maintained bathroom adds greatly to the ambiance of your home.
In fact, a number of home remodeling projects are taken up with the sole aim of redoing the bathroom. Because (as any estate expert will tell you) a remodeled bathroom contributes to the resale value of your home.
Here’s a list of the guidelines that will help you focus on updates fitting your immediate needs and set a great future resale value for your property in the meantime.
Replace/Resurface Your Tub and Shower
Nothing can beat the luxury of long hot baths in the sanctuary of your tub. If your tub has started to look old and is giving out “repair me vibes,” it’s time to stop ignoring the inevitable job and resurface it.
Alternatively, if you have a penchant for showers, do replicate the experience in your bathroom. You may plan on getting a variety of spray heads. It’s a great way to set your home’s worth in the market.
Replace Your Sink/Vanity
Your vanity can be the showstopper of your bathroom.
Whatever you do, opt for a double sink vanity. Come on. Who hasn’t been through the harrowing experience of reaching the master bathroom all stumbling half-sleep only to find that your better half has already monopolized the prime spot using up the complete vanity mirror?
Well, let’s put an end to this horror by getting a double vanity in your bathroom while adding a dose of luxury to the design scheme in the go. You stand to gain added storage by imbibing the vanity in your bathroom that’s a great asset to have.
Choose Affordable and Timeless Tiles
When it comes to tiling your bathroom, opt for timeless designs that you’ll never tire of looking at for years to come!
In any case, tiling is a far more feasible option than painting your bathroom as it’s durable, lasting and aesthetic which is important for you and it sells!
Lighting
Lighting is so important because you are going to be looking at yourself many times during the day. You can invest in four types of light to transform your bathroom into a functional refuge. These being a task, accent, sparkle, and decorative lights.
For task lighting, you may use a pair of sconces on either side of the mirror that’s placed at eye level. Accent lighting works perfectly for highlighting artworks in your bathroom. And decorative lighting like a single pendant adds a visual sparkle in the space.
Change Fixtures
Are fixtures playing spoilsport with the existing ambiance in your bathroom?
For a buyer, who is besotted with the idea of a modern and aesthetic bathroom will look at the space as a whole where every element will contribute to creating the complete picture. You never know. The change could lead to that final deal!
Flooring
Bathroom floors typically work very hard. Considering that they tend to take a lot of moisture, it’s important to opt for floors that are impervious to water while being slip-resistant.
Ceramic tiles are considered impervious and perfect for bathrooms. The tiles meant for floors are super durable in addition to being water and stain-resistant.
