How exactly can bathroom renovation experts improve your quality of life and your property value?

Bathroom Alterations That Can Add Value To Your Property

Design A Functional Layout. The best bathroom designs balance both luxurious aesthetics and practical function. Even if your bathroom looks stunning, you may not enjoy using it if the layout doesn’t make sense. Always work with your bathroom renovation experts to create a layout that maximises space and ensures easy movement. This will make using your bathroom a breeze. Just like other rooms in your home, you want your bathroom to have a nice flow. 

Prioritise Storage. Proper storage solutions will give you plenty of space to store your toiletries, self-care products, makeup and other belongings. Insufficient storage can lead to cluttered countertops and messy spaces. Consider solutions like vanities with built-in storage, cabinets, shelves and more. Then, store items you use every day in easy-to-reach places for easy access.

Encourage Accessibility. Accessibility features will help your bathroom be a safe place for everyone who visits and everyone who wishes to buy your home. Grab bars in the shower or on the walls near the toilet will show that you renovated your bathroom with every kind of person in mind. 

Speak to your bathroom renovation experts about grab bars, walk-in showers, wide doorways and other accessible design features. 

Appeal To A Wide Market. If you’d like to sell your property, then you must design your bathroom for a broader audience to appeal to as many people as possible. Avoid niche upgrades that may not appeal to everyone, like odd colour palettes or overly personalised designs.

For example, choose neutral colours like blacks, whites, greys and beiges. These colours go with everything and appeal to a broad audience. Additionally, opt for timeless, classic features. You can blend contemporary and classic designs to create a modern, stylish bathroom that’s attractive to most people. 

Consider Underfloor Heating. Heating solutions like underfloor heating and heated wall panels add an undeniable sense of luxury to any bathroom. They can keep your bathroom sanctuary nice and comfortable during the colder months. These heating options enhance comfort and also create a cosy atmosphere that invites relaxation. Additionally, they can help prevent mould and mildew by maintaining a consistent temperature and lowering humidity. 

Make sure you discuss ventilation with your bathroom renovation experts, as proper ventilation will help you avoid moisture-related issues down the track. 

Extend Your Mirror. Replacing your mirror with a larger one or adding new mirrors around your vanity can improve your room in multiple ways.

Mirrors can also add a sense of space to your room, making it feel larger, brighter and more welcoming. This technique can spruce up any room size but is particularly useful for compact bathrooms. Additionally, lighter colour palettes can also make rooms feel more spacious. 

Invest In A New Toilet. An older, outdated toilet can be very unappealing, even in an otherwise beautiful bathroom. Update your toilet to improve your bathroom even further, creating a spa-like retreat. A quality toilet will enhance the appearance and functionality of your bathroom, especially if you choose a modern model with improved water efficiency. As with any other fixture in your bathroom, be sure you choose a toilet with an overall look that complements the rest of your bathroom’s aesthetic.

If your toilet is in good condition but the seat, lid and other features are outdated, then you can simply replace those features without having to upgrade the entire toilet.

Upgrade Your Tapwear. Even seemingly minor changes, like upgraded tapware, can transform a bathroom. Search for lovely new tapware that suits your bathroom’s upgraded design, and try to balance aesthetics and style so your tapware looks stunning with the rest of your bathroom’s features. 

Add A New Bathroom. An entirely new bathroom can add an incredible amount of value to your Auckland home. This option is a much more significant financial investment than other suggestions on this list, but it can greatly boost your property value. 

A few advantages of this solution are:

• Full Customisation Control. Creating a bathroom from scratch gives you full control over its design, so you can build a gorgeous bathroom from the ground up Work with professional bathroom experts and designers to optimise your design.
• More Functionality. Adding a second bathroom will make your home more functional.
• Undeniable Appeal. Homes with two bathrooms are undoubtedly more appealing to buyers than houses with only one bathroom, especially for buyers who have large families.
