subject: Ways To Increase Your Home's Resale Value [print this page] When you are trying to sell your home, making sure your bathroom is up to date is important. When a bathroom or kitchen are out of date, most home buyers will keep shopping. No one wants to take on that task when buying a new home.
What most sellers do not realize about these rooms is that unless they are fully functional you can not live a comfortable lifestyle within your home. Using the more user friendly furnishings in your bath will please most buyers. The other rooms in your home are most likely basic, four walls, a window, a door and maybe a closet. These rooms people expect to decorate and make them their own. But a bathroom and kitchen need to be just right as it can become very costly to ensure that they are fixed to functioning standards.
When looking to redo these rooms you will find that it can become very expensive. Since these are the two most important rooms in your home, anything that is needed to redo these rooms tends to run on the more expensive side. If you go into redoing the rooms without a plan or a set budget, you will find that you have spent enough money on them to redecorate every other room in your home. Since many of us do not work on an unlimited budget, here are some of the more essiential aspects of your bathroom that you will want to focus on.
All bathrooms should have a toilet, sink, shower, and ample storage space. Use functional foundations in the bathroom. But you might want some extras, maybe a cool whirlpool tub or a double vanity and some cool lighting or waterfall shower heads. Those are all nice things, but aren't necessary.
Be sure all appliances and what not are in proper working order. Water damage or mildew is the most important. If your plumbing and structure is proper then everything else is just a matter of putting things the way you desire. Changing out a shower or tub is a more daunting task than a sink or toilet.
