Whether you’re planning on listing your home in the near future or simply want to ensure you’re getting the best value of your property, renovating grungy or rundown bathrooms can be a fantastic way to breathe new life into a tired home and transform the overall aesthetic. If you’re looking to make the most out of your home, refreshing your bathrooms is the perfect place to start. Below, we’ll cover 3 key areas that can help you create a brand new oasis for the whole family to enjoy. Read on to learn more!
Lighting
Did you know that, despite being one of the lesser thought about areas, lighting is actually one of the most important changes you can make to any space? Think about how much of a difference you notice on a cloudy versus a bright and sunny day…pretty big, right? In much the same way, choosing the right bathroom lighting plays a big role in ensuring all of the other changes you make fit into place and create the overall dynamic you want in the end. Working with a talented design team like the pros at Peak Improvements makes it easy to find the perfect balance of natural and artificial light, along with the right fixtures to bring everything together.
Flooring
Next to lighting, flooring is one of the most dramatic ways you can transform the bathroom. If you’ve been wanting to ditch your grungy grouted tile, there are plenty of options that work great in moister areas (which is always a key consideration when doing bathroom renos), while also affording you countless style opportunities. Cork flooring, for example, is eco-conscious, stylish, comfortable, and water-resistant!
Storage
Tired of having to go back and forth between the hall closet and your bathroom for towels? Are you so over having to fight with your significant other to keep the counters tidy and tuck everything away? Never underestimate the importance of ample storage, especially in the bathroom! From adding in ensuite closets to custom features that give you exactly what you need, adding more storage is a surefire win for everyone, and will definitely give you brownie points should you choose to list your home in the future.
DIY or DI-Don’t?
Budgeting can be tricky, we get it (so much so we even made a tool to help). While bathrooms remain one of the most common rooms of the house for eager DIY’ers to attempt to tackle, this is something we strongly recommend against. Why? Even though there are lots of simple changes you can do yourself, like painting or swapping certain light fixtures, the main risk with DIY projects is how much can wrong. Bathrooms look easy from the outside, but the simple reality is, there’s a lot going on behind those walls. From plumbing to electrical wiring and whatever other surprises you might find, even the smallest of mistakes can cause thousands of dollars of damage to the whole home. If you’re planning significant upgrades, it’s well worth the peace of mind of leaving the job to a qualified team of professionals.
