Of the many rooms in a home, the bathrooms and the kitchen have the greatest impact on property value and are the most common spaces to renovate as a result. If you have an outdated bathroom that you are ready to renovate, either for yourself or in preparation for selling, we can help at F2 Property Solutions. We also have several bathroom renovation tips to offer you as you plan.
- Embrace Your Smaller Budget – It’s important to have a budget for bathroom renovations so that you don’t go overboard, but having a constraint also makes it easier to make decisions about materials and overall design. One tip you might consider is using materials that aren’t trying to be something they’re not. Many people try to achieve a high-end look using materials that mimic real wood, marble, or granite, but this can come across looking cheap if it isn’t done well. By embracing a smaller budget and making design choices that suit it, you might find more creative solutions that look even better than what you originally had in mind.
- Consider Ease of Maintenance – In most cases, you’re the one who is going to live with these bathroom renovations and the one who will be cleaning everything routinely. If you don’t want to make cleaning your bathroom more of a chore than it needs to be, then use materials and designs that will be easy to maintain. For instance, choose larger tiles instead of smaller ones to avoid having to clean so much grout.
- Don’t Change the Plumbing Unnecessarily – Changing the plumbing can be a major project that’s invasive, expensive, and time-consuming. Unless the layout as it exists is nonsensical or the plumbing needs to be replaced due to age or damage, you might find it worthwhile to avoid plumbing renovations if you can.
