3 Ways To Add Value To An Older Bathroom

If you’re looking to raise your property’s value, then consider bathroom remodeling. Simply renovating this one room will make a home more desirable and comfortable to use.

Homeowners can upgrade any out-of-date bathroom by installing a shower seat, replacing an older toilet with a low-flush model, and/or installing a floor heating system to provide more warmth. Every home buyer will treasure such improvements.

However, a complete renovation may be expensive, and it’s not always required. But if they are, here are several relatively cost friendly ways to help you spruce up your bathroom, without affecting the space too much:

#1. Add A Fresh Coat Of Paint

Even on a tight budget, homeowners can still upgrade their bathrooms by repainting the walls and installing new tiles. Make your room an exception by changing the color, and giving the space new life. It will only take one day to complete bathroom painting.

When it comes to choosing the best paint for your bathroom, be certain to select a durable, mold resistant paint that can handle the humid room. Give enough time for the paint to fully dry before using the bathroom.

#2. High-Efficiency, Dual-Flush Toilet

Some major cities in the U.S., including Chicago, Boston, Cleveland, and Los Angeles fear that they will be lacking water by 2050. High-efficiency, dual-flush toilets save water by minimizing on the flush water volume. This will make your bathroom cost effective.

Dual-flush toilets offer the alternative of two different flush volumes: full volume flush for solids, and low volume flush for liquids. Different from traditional toilets, these water saving toilets have a larger hole at the bottom of the bowl, and can use much less water to get the job done.

Dual flush toilets will need more cleaning, because less water is left in the bowl, and that can mean more residue and odor will be left behind.

#3. Humidity-Controlled Exhaust Fan

Many home owners are now requesting humidity controlled exhaust fans. Bathroom fans beat out linen closets, and separate tubs and showers, in the way of high demand. Many homeowners prefer a fan with an automatic humidity sensor switch.

The fan turns on when moisture levels are high, and automatically turns off when the humidity drops to a normal level. This will prevent mold growth and ensure proper air circulation in the bathroom.

It is recommended that you get together with a contractor to ensure that the vent for the fan leads outside, not to the upper floor. This will prevent mold in other areas as well.

Conclusion

After you’ve remodeled, you’ll have a beautiful, brand new bathroom to decorate as you please. Enjoy adding a nice wallpaper or paint, mirrors, curtains, and painted vanity doors to transform your new room into your own little showpiece. Or if you’re selling, prospective homebuyers will be wowed by the new bathroom. Once you’re done with the renovation, contact Rebecca’s Realtor to get things starting for your selling process.

It doesn’t have to cost a ton of money to upgrade a bathroom. Making a few tranquil changes will instantly convert your bathroom. Consider installing new faucets, a better mirror, and/or painting the walls. In no time at all, these simple updates will increase the value of your home.
