Bathrooms are a major factor in property purchase, with many buyers rating it as second only to the kitchen as the biggest deciding factor in a sale. If you want to make a juicy profit on your home, then you'll need to upgrade your shabby bathroom into a chic space that will attract plenty of interested buyers. But there's no point indulging your eclectic tastes in the hope that someone else out there will love bathrooms decorated in jungle prints or bright pink paint! Follow this guide to creating a bathroom that will hike up the price of your home.
Understated Bathrooms Attract Buyers
As it is second only to the kitchen in terms of saleability, it is crucial to get your bathroom's decor right. The ideal modern bathroom not only needs to be a functional family space, but also a place conducive to relaxation. White ceramics are a wise choice, as they will fit well with any other décor, and offer a wide range of styles from traditional to contemporary. Choosing the right tiles and fittings can make all the difference to a bathroom's appearance, as will regrouting tiles and sealing an existing bath properly. You'd be amazed at the effect of this simple job.
Bathroom Showers have the Attractor Factor
Around 78% of people say they prefer to shower than bathe, so a newly installed shower will be a big hit with buyers. But don't remove the bath unless there's one elsewhere in the house – people still like a choice and having both will clock up more profits. If your home is a stylish pad aimed at professionals, consider splashing out on a power shower or even one of the high-tech all-in-one models with a sauna and steam bath included. This will really give your bathroom the wow factor.
