Create a bathroom retreat and increase the value of your home

by Shelley Murphy

Giving your bathroom a facelift not only increases the value of your home, but can turn your bathroom into personal retreat. Bringing out the artist within you and turning the bathroom into a masterpiece carries no boundaries with today's fine selection of traditional and contemporary bathroom furnishings.

Estate agents say spending the money and time to upgrade the bathroom is both a sound investment and is a good return on investment for homeowners who will recover most of the costs upon the sale of the home. Redecorating your bathroom using quality and high-end products can produce an average return rate of over 90 percent. Since bathrooms and kitchens are big on the minds of home buyers, quality bathroom suites, bathroom fixtures and finishes will sell a home much faster.

A fresh new look in the bathroom accentuated with modern bathroom furniture from bath to basins situated in a lavish bathroom vanity can sell a home much faster since the home buyer won't have to incur further costs by having to redecorate immediately. Although everyone has their own unique individual tastes, remodeling a bathroom using high-end products is more appealing. Replacing an existing bathroom suite incorporating a new toilet, bathroom sink and bath may only require the purchaser to simply repaint the bathroom and add a few bathroom accessories suited to their design needs becoming less of a burden for the buyer.

If a complete new bathroom suite is not within your remodeling budget, consider updating with less expensive bathroom furniture pieces such as a bathroom vanity, embellished with a beautiful bathroom mirror accentuated with built in lighting encased with individual glass shelving. Keeping in mind any upgrade you give your bathroom creates another single selling feature that home buyers are looking for.

Whether you are preparing to sell your home or simply wanting to give your bathroom a design update and create a dream bathroom for you and your family depends on the functionality of the bathroom itself. Consider how many people will use it, do you require single or a double basin vanity unit for extra storage and more counter space? Another practical consideration is the shower and bath especially when space is an issue. Baths that fit into the corner of the room can provide a more open space. Finally, deciding on the bathing experience you want in your bathroom whether you are looking for a whirlpool bath, air jet spa bath or simply a soaking bath, think about what would make your bathroom a more comfortable place while meeting your budgetary requirements.

When it comes to any type of home renovation, there is no one set of rules that clearly defines a persons' decorating tastes. Today's latest trends in both traditional bathroom furniture and contemporary bathroom furniture are designed to enhance lifestyles by incorporating new technologies. Bathroom suppliers and distributors have become one-stop shops carrying coordinating bathroom ensembles, making it easy to create a theme based bathroom that can also easily be accessorized with finishing touches from storages cabinets to mixer taps.
