To most people, bathrooms are mundane and nothing special. But in the world of real estate, nothing rivals the impact and impression that a bathroom leaves on the mind of a potential buyer. If your bathrooms are shabby, a buyer would probably pass on your property even if the rest of the property is exceptional. But if you have an impressive bathroom, it can raise the image of your property on the whole. Upscale bathrooms can help you bag a premium property sale. The good news is that you don’t have to break the bank to upgrade your bathroom. Here are some affordable ways to revamp your bathroom and give them a luxurious ambience.
Tiles and Grout
Grout can become discoloured and may lose their lustre with time and usage. Consider regrouting and thoroughly cleaning the tiles. Follow this with a fresh coat of grout sealer. This is the easiest way you can make your bathrooms look brand new with minimal effort or investment.
Lighting
The effects of lighting in transforming a space are often overlooked. Lighting is not just for illumination of the space, it can help create a mood, theme or ambience that is appropriate for the said space. Swap your dated fixtures for stylish and energy-efficient lighting options. Try wall sconces, pendant lights or a chic chandelier to give your bathroom a luxurious feel.
Hardware
Take a good look at your hardware. If they are shabby, rusted or dated, you may want to replace them with new ones. Cabinet handles, faucets, towel bars, and other hardware can be updated to give your bathrooms a modern and polished look.
Mirrors
There was a time when framed mirrors were all the rage. But today, frameless mirrors are more loved. They look sleek, contemporary and timeless. Mirrors without a frame can also be a good addition to small bathrooms as they make it look more spacious and sophisticated.
Fresh Paint
Give your bathroom a new lick of paint in a soothing neutral colour palette. It creates a tranquil atmosphere and doesn't take attention away from the other details of the bathroom. New paint is the most cost-effective way to give any space a quick and affordable makeover.
Stylish Vanity
If you have a little extra budget on hand, consider upgrading the bathroom vanity. A well-designed and functional vanity can be the focal point of the bathroom. It can also offer additional storage space. If you already have a vanity in your bathroom, you can choose to refinish it or give it a new paint to refresh its look.
Accent Wall
You can easily create an accent wall with a peel-and-stick wallpaper or inexpensive tiles. It will give your bathroom style and personality without any major renovations.
Bathtubs
If you are willing to invest a slightly larger amount of money and have enough space in your bathroom, you can add a freestanding bathtub. It is a stunning addition that can add tons of oomph to your bathroom and instantly adds value to your property. You do not even have to install a freestanding bathtub in every bathroom. Just one of them in the master bathroom can go a long way in attracting potential buyers.
Storage
Invest in enough storage space. Floating shelves, wall-mounted cabinets or even woven baskets can help keep clutter at bay and give your bathrooms an upscale look.
Showerhead
The traditional shower heads can look a little dated and may not be as functional as the modern options you have today. Replace them with a rainfall showerhead or a high-pressure one to promise your buyers a spa-like shower experience.
Decor
The decor of the bathrooms is often ignored. Framed artwork, elegant soap dispensers or greenery in your bathroom are all examples of how to infuse style into your bathroom.
