Bathroom Remodeling Ideas that Add Value to your Home

One of the most frequented places in any home is the bathroom. Due to its heavy usage, homeowners often find themselves needing to update/upgrade their bathroom space. A remodel can also improve both everyday usability and the appeal of a home. Bathroom remodeling in DFW does not require a complete overhaul though, sometimes you make meaningful improvements to a space that add value to your home. Check out these ideas for ways to update your space while adding value to your home. 

Upgrade to a Walk-In Shower 

Often, homes have builder grade shower/tub combinations that do not feel unique or custom to a home. Updating your outdated tub/shower combo with a new look can add value to your home. Think about glass shower enclosures to make the space feel more open, built in niches for storage and custom benches for convenience. When choosing tile for your space, think clean and modern to keep the overall appeal and value of your home. In addition to shower/tub itself, think about updating the fixtures - nobs, facet heads, etc. in the space to bring your look together. 

Update the Vanity and Countertops 

An option for homeowners looking to add value but without a complete overhaul of the bathroom space itself should consider is updating the vanity and countertops. If the vanity cabinets are in good condition, consider painting or re-staining them to update the overall look. If you are replacing the entire vanity, consider a double vanity when space allows and units with storage as both add value to your home. Finally, you can update the countertop of an existing vanity and change out sinks and hardware to give the entire vanity a new look and feel without breaking the bank. These smaller changes can make a big impact without remodeling the whole space and will add value to your home. 

Invest in Quality Bathroom Tile 

When considering any bathroom remodel, the quality of the bathroom tile itself is worth the investment. Shower wall tiles for example experience wear and tear over the years from shower usage and quality tile is necessary for both functionality and aesthetics of the space. Often, a bathroom tile quality can be quickly spotted if it’s low quality due to aging, staining and discoloring. Choosing quality bathroom tiles will also allow you to create a custom look using accent tiles that are custom but not too trendy so they do not feel outdated quickly.

Replace Old Bathroom Flooring 

The flooring in a bathroom is often builder grade ceramic tile which can withstand the elements but won’t provide a custom, luxurious look that would entice future buyers. To add value to your home, think about updating the bathroom flooring with a new porcelain tile or luxury vinyl plank where appropriate. The water resistance, durability and ease of cleaning make either options perfect for a bathroom and with a range of styles you can find something that you like but that is also appealing to future buyers. Updating flooring in a bathroom is a quick way to add value to your home and increase your pool of buyers. 

Improve Bathroom Lighting 

Homeowners sometimes forget about the lighting features in their bathrooms. Lighting though is one economical way to update your bathroom. Vanity lighting can create a custom look while providing more visibility. Overhead lighting can create a brighter overall space making your bathroom look and feel bigger. Replacing dated fixtures can give the space a fresh, modern feel or even make a small bathroom look bigger which adds value to your home. 

Add More Storage 

Storage is an important part of any bathroom and the more you can provide storage space, the better. When updating your bathroom, think about how you can add functions and features that give more storage space. For example your new vanity choice could be one with additional drawers/cabinets while shower niches and medicine cabinets can be smaller but useful additions for storage space. 

What Bathroom Upgrades Add the Most Value? 

The best bathroom remodeling investments typically combine appearance, durability and functionality. Updated showers, tile, flooring, vanities, lighting and fixtures can all make a noticeable difference but the right improvements also depend on layout and condition of your existing bathroom.
