5 Bathroom Additions That Add Value to Your Home

A well-renovated bathroom can influence the purchasing decision of a buyer, as they are primarily concerned with the appearance and functionality of the space. Although a potential homebuyer may not start with the bathroom, they will eventually make their way there, as it is a top priority on their checklist. Structural details and updated decor may catch their eye but you will win their hearts with great bathroom additions.

Making improvements to the bathroom is relatively simple and affordable if you have a plan beforehand and work within your budget. Having a good idea of the type of improvements to add in your bathroom will guarantee higher returns on your investment. In this article, we will be looking at the top five bathroom additions that add value to your home.

1. Bath or Shower Upgrade

Upgrading your bathtub or shower will instantly make your bathroom appear brighter, cleaner and more inviting. Your shower and other bathroom appliances may become dingy over time if you have a problem with limescale or live in an area with hard water. There are many different options to choose from when you want to update your shower. Some of them include rain showerheads, shower columns, wet rooms, and the option of adding sliding glass doors, a screen or curtain designs. A bathtub is a big bonus in a bathroom, as it adds both comfort and luxury. The decision to reglaze or replace your bathtub largely depends on its current condition as well as your budget.

2. Large Storage Spaces

People store many things in their bathrooms including dental products, skincare, hair products, towels, cleaning sprays, shaving kits and many more. Other people also stock up on duplicates that need to be kept somewhere. With all these items in mind, you might consider adding more storage space to keep everything in place. There are many storage options to choose from regardless of size or bathroom layout. You can also invest in custom-made units to make good use of awkward spaces or sharp corners in your bathroom. If you have a smaller bathroom, consider shelving and mirrors to create an impression of more floor spaces.

3. Ample Lighting

A well-lit bathroom is a highly sought feature in a modern home, as it provides greater illumination across the entire room. It is important to work with a combination of artificial light, natural light, and mirrors. It is also important to consider the type of light you install in the bathroom as it has a significant impact on your energy bills. LED bulbs in daylight or cool white colors not only use less energy but also the right amount of brightness needed in the bathroom. Investing in additional windows or larger designs, helps provide natural light during the day.

4. Refreshing Your Color Scheme

Older bathrooms that were decorated in lime greens, luminous oranges, or other weird colors are outdated. Bathroom décor has improved gradually over the past decades to meet the changing demands of the modern world. It is a good idea to stick to neutral color schemes since people have different tastes and preferences when it comes to the color choices they want to have in their bathrooms.

If you are planning to sell your home in the future, it is important to stick to neutral colors such as white, black, cream, rick wood paneling or deep blues. However, you can always express your unique style and personality with freestanding cabinets, bath mats, potted plants, towels, and other accessories.  You can also test out the color schemes that work on a virtual design if your mind is set on having a brightly colored bathroom.

5. Heated Floors and Towel Racks

Installing heated floors is one of the greatest bathroom additions that can set you apart from other sellers or competitors in the real estate market. Not only does it make your bathroom more comfortable but also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the entire space. It is such a nice feeling stepping out of a hot shower to wrap yourself in a cozy towel off the rack while walking on warm tiles.

Size and financial constraints are some of the biggest challenges you are likely to face when renovating your bathroom. However, you can always work within your budget by focusing on small projects that are cost-effective but increase the value of your home. It is important to be careful with DIY projects they can lead to a disaster if you lack the experience. Hiring a professional contractor is the best way you can be assured of quality work and a higher return on your investment.
