Give Your Bathroom Remodel the WOW Factor!
Are you looking to give your bathroom remodel the WOW factor!? Bathrooms are extremely important if you are trying to sell a house (just as important as kitchens and curb appeal). Having a nice master bath in a house is a must if you are going to get top dollar and not having a master bathroom can cost you anywhere between $20,000-$80,000 in sales price depending on the area. If you have the room to add a master bathroom in a house that doesn’t have one, you should do it. Not only will you get the investment returned, but you will sell the house much faster. If you are going to spend money on only one bathroom in the house, make sure it is in the master bath.
So here are 5 tips for making your master bathroom remodel stand out and make your Realtor say “We have multiple offers!”
Light behind a mirror
You may have seen this before at an airport or a nice hotel, but installing a light behind a mirror is a very cost effective sizzle feature. You can even save the original mirror in many cases and make a custom look which seems very high end. If you replace a very large unframed mirror with a large framed mirror or two framed mirrors, it can get expensive and this modification will usually save you money. You will have to take the current mirror off the wall and then cut it to a size that will allow light to come out from behind and around the edges. You will have to use plywood and wood blocking so that the mirror is held off the wall 3 inches. You then glue the mirror to the plywood. It would be good to hire an experienced carpenter and electrician to ensure a quality job is done that will last many years to come.
Vertical spa/Rainfall Shower Head
If you want your buyers to feel like they are in a resort, then you should install a rainfall shower head or vertical spa. Buyers will associate your home with luxury and will get excited at the possibility of taking a relaxing shower one day in their extravagant bathroom in their new home. A vertical spa is a great selling point because it features multiple body sprays. A rainfall shower hear is a cheaper alternative to a vertical spa but gets a similar feeling of extravagance.
Double Vanity
If you have the room in your bathroom for a double vanity, install one. Morning are hectic typically and having two sinks will come in handy. Buyers appreciate a double vanity and it does not cost much more if you are doing a bathroom remodel.
Tile & Mosaic Patterns
Doing a simple tile pattern on your floor like subway style will make your bathroom pop and make it much more desirable. If you have a large bathroom, go with 18” tiles on the floor to make the room seem even larger. Doing a strip of mosaics along the shower always looks classy and if you really want to go over the top, do a whole wall with mosaics. Some people may think this is flashy or tacky but if done right, it can look really nice. It is always a good idea to build a nook in your tiling as well for soap and shampoo. If you have an experienced tile installer, make the base of the shower tiled and not a shower pan. Shower pans look cheaper and are not as attractive.
Frameless shower doors
This can get pricey but it looks phenomenal. This allows all of the beautiful tile work and neat features you installed like the vertical spa and rainfall shower head to be displayed. Make sure you use a company that specializes in frameless shower doors to get the job done right.
