Renovating a bathroom to sell, is completely different to renovating a bathroom for yourself. You need to be thinking about what most buyers will like, rather than your own personal taste or style. A bathroom renovation is a big investment, so it’s essential you choose a design that lots of people will enjoy. If you’re planning on selling your home, here are some simple bathroom renovation tips to maximise your return on investment.
Choose neutral colours
While it can be tempting to liven up your bathroom with a calming blue or striking red, if you’re planning to sell, you should keep your bathroom renovations as neutral as possible. Neutral bathroom colours, such as white, cream and stone, will appeal to a larger variety of people and are less likely to put off potential buyers. Neutral colours also have the benefit of making your bathroom appear larger.
Don’t forget your lighting
While you might be tempted to save money on your bathroom renovation by keeping your original lighting, updating your lighting is essential. Having one overhead light is a sign of an outdated bathroom. Instead have an electrician apply a range of lighting, including task lighting, accent lighting, decorative lighting and ambient lighting.
Declutter your design
There’s nothing worse than a bathroom that has too many features crammed in. If you are working with a smaller space, consider removing something. If you have a tub and a shower, consider removing your bath and creating a larger, more luxurious walk-in shower. Optimise your space with a narrower vanity design and extra storage.
