Bathroom Remodeling and It’s Impact on Home Value
In regards to home value, adding a well-built bathroom to your home is always a good idea. When you have a bathroom remodeled it will almost always increase the resale value of your home, especially if you are updating a particularly dated space. If you are upgrading a basic but functional bathroom to one with high-end finishes, you may not see your entire investment come back to you in home value. It all depends on how the bathroom compares to the rest of your home both before and after, and whether your finishes would appeal to the masses or are more unique to your own tastes. The most important thing when remodeling for increased value is to make sure that you have a design which flows with the overall feel of your home. A good designer can help you navigate this process, although no one has a crystal ball that can unequivocally say which finishes will hold value and which will not. For that, we suggest seeking the input of an appraiser.
Let’s be honest though, most people tend to consider a bathroom remodel because their existing space is dated and they would like to add a little luxury to their daily routine. You don’t have to break the bank to achieve this. Simply changing your flooring or countertops to a high quality material will make an impact. These kinds of changes are very simple and can be done in a fairly short time.
If you really want to do a bathroom remodel that will add value to your home, you have to think about what you are going to change and how you are going to do it. You should also think about where you are going to put it and if there is any space in your bathroom that you can move. This is not hard to do, especially with the help of a professional, and if you follow the right set of steps you should end up with a remodeled bathroom that will look great and help your home sell at a high price.
When you decide to do a bathroom remodel, you will first need to determine what kind of space you have and how much room you would like to add. You will want to divide the space into smaller areas so you will know what kind of bathroom furniture, vanities and other features you will need to fit in each space. You will want to plan out the layout of your bathroom before you start shopping so you will know exactly what kind of things you will need to include in the room. This will make it easy for you to get all the things you need at a good price and you will not have any problems staying within your budget because everything will be included in the room.
The second thing you need to do is figure out how much you are able to spend and how to divide that budget within the project so your design feels consistent in quality and craftsmanship. This is another process that an experienced designer can help you navigate. The designers at Kitchen & Bath Ideas have years of experience in planning projects and using the project budget wisely.
Thirdly, you will need to start to actually pick finishes and products appropriate for your new space and design. You don’t want to install a low-grade cabinet with a high-end countertop and contractor-grade faucets. Your designer can help you ensure that your finishes work well together and lend to the overall aesthetic you are looking to achieve.
Lastly, you will need a good, reliable contractor to actually remodel the space for you (unless you are doing this part yourself). They will ensure that your finished bathroom not only looks its absolute best, but that it is up to local codes in your area and is functional for years to come.
A bathroom remodel can not only increase the value of your home, but it can also add a lot of comfort to your life. Kitchen & Bath Ideas is here to help you through the process, whether you need us from start to finish or just somewhere in the middle. While you may not always increase your home value at the same amount you invested in your remodel, a bathroom remodel will always improve the quality of your home when done right.
