Bathroom Upgrade Tips

Written by Realty Times

While there are common preferences among buyers purchasing move-up or luxury homes, the trends tend to trickle down to entry-level homes -- often in the way of options and upgrades -- and remodeled homes. Potential homebuyers will take note of the state of your bathrooms, whether it's a 1,200 square-foot starter home or roomy executive-style digs.

When it comes to color for fixtures and floors, neutrals are dominant and woods, especially cherry, are in vogue. Granite countertops are popular and nickel is being used more often than stainless steel for faucets. Shower areas are getting more elaborate and multiple shower heads are popular.

If your bathroom is dated, you may want to consider a minor remodel before selling. Remodeling Magazine says you'll recover, on average, 88 percent of the money you spend once you sell. The minor remodel costs an average of $9,720.

If you are willing to spend, some improvements you may want to consider include:

Replace your bathtub with a whirlpool bath. Or if you don't want to spend that much and your tub is unattractive, replace it with a non-whirlpool variety. A nice shiny tub will make a lot more points than one that is dingy and decades-old.

Change out your toilets. There are many attractive models on the market, many available for less than $200. And many new models use less water than older ones, another plus for would-be homebuyers.

Install new flooring. If that old vinyl is worn or unattractive, consider installing tile. If you purchase modestly priced tile you can plan to spend anywhere from $300 to $3,000 tiling two bathrooms and a powder room, depending on the cost of the tile, size of the rooms and whether you do the job yourself or hire someone.

Add a new vanity. This can be especially impressive in the master bathroom and the powder room. Storage is especially important in the master bathroom, so make sure your new vanity has plenty of storage.

Replace your sinks. A pedestal sink is a stylish option for the powder room. They come in a range of styles and generally have a large bowl. The drawback to a pedestal design is that you won't have storage space. Also, if you're considering a free-standing basin, you'll need to be sure you choose a spout that can reach the bowl. Another up-and-coming style is the vessel sink, which looks like a bowl on top of the countertop. Some can be installed with a wall-mount bracket. These sinks are stylish and work well if you're aiming to create a simple, geometric look. You'll have a huge variety of choice in materials: cast iron, glass, stainless steel, brass, nickel, copper, stone, and many ot
