How Bathroom Remodeling Can Increase Home Value

Did you know that, on average, a bathroom remodeling project has an ROI of 54 to 60%? Since bathrooms are popular with potential buyers, doing any kind of bathroom renovation project will give your home an instant boost in value. 

But what bathroom remodeling projects offer the most value? Let’s take a closer look at a few features that are worth considering when you’re planning your bathroom remodel. 

Showers and Tubs

Since the focal point of any bathroom is the shower and/or tub area, that’s the best place to get started with your remodeling project. Consider replacing your stained and outdated bathtub with a beautiful acrylic model to instantly make your home look newer. If you really want to create a luxurious space, you can even opt for a jetted tub to turn your bathroom into a spa-like experience. 

If your current shower has outdated materials, it can quickly make the rest of your home look dated too. By switching it out with a more modern model, you’ll give your whole bathroom an instant refresh and boost your home’s value in the process. 

To make your bathroom look even bigger, you might consider a tub-to-shower conversion. Just keep in mind that most prospective buyers put a higher value on homes with at least one tub, so factor that into your remodeling choices. 

Vanity

Next, you’ll want to turn your attention to your vanity area. If the countertop looks outdated, stained, or cracked, replacing it can impact your overall home value. While you’re at it, consider switching out the faucet and sink as well. These are relatively low-cost updates but they pack a big punch. 

For the biggest impact, you might also want to extend your vanity to include double sinks, especially if you’re renovating your owner’s bathroom. 

Flooring

When’s the last time you took a good, hard look at your bathroom flooring? If you have an older home with tile floors, it’s likely that the grout is starting to look dingy, even after you give it a thorough cleaning. 

By replacing your bathroom floor with a modern material like porcelain or ceramic tile, you’ll give the whole room an instant boost. To take it up another notch, you can even install heated flooring to appeal to more buyers. 

 

Lighting

Replacing your bathroom’s lighting features is a low-cost way to instantly make it look newer. In most cases, you can remove and install the new features yourself, so you can update your bathroom in as little as one afternoon. 

When choosing new lighting, opt for something that strikes the balance between modern and classic, so it doesn’t look outdated again in a few years.
