Bathrooms can be an important aspect of a home buyer’s decision, and thus bathroom remodels are popular options for homeowners who want to increase their property’s value. Particularly in spaces such as lofts where expanding the floor plan may not be an option, a bathroom remodel can greatly increase the value of the space. Below, we’ll chat about our favorite bathroom remodeling trends that’ll increase your loft’s value!
Freestanding Bathtubs and Sinks
Freestanding bathtubs make a statement, and are becoming more in trend. The freestanding tub with practical home handrails will suit both modern and traditional styles, and while it may come at a larger cost upfront, it’ll pay off as the value of the space increases.
His and Hers Sinks
This is a great option to consider for both practical and aesthetic purposes. Especially in your master bath, you’ll find that buyers see great value in having two separate prep areas where two can get ready at the same time. These sinks will be framed by a beautiful mirror that makes the vanity the focus of the bathroom.
An Accent Wall
Just as many owners like to use the backsplash of the kitchen to make a statement, an accent wall can be perfectly integrated into the bathroom to provide contrast and add personality to the space. Many owners opt for marble, brick, or wood, that easily compliment the bathroom’s white countertops, but you can truly let your imagination run wild with this one.
Heated Bathroom Floors
This is a remodeling option that’ll undoubtedly add value to your space. The trend is becoming more and more popular as technology advances and people are starting to feel the luxury of stepping into the bathroom at night onto a warm heated floor. In addition to making sure you’re sealing doors and windows to keep the room free from a draft or cool air sneaking in during the night, heated floors add a spa-like element to your home.
Update your Lighting
Lighting is an important part of any bathroom, but the personality you can add to a space through the fixtures you choose is often overlooked. In addition to adding dimmers to the lighting, you can find chandeliers or hanging fixtures that’ll add a luxurious feel to your space.
Waterfall Showers
Waterfall showers used to be a luxurious touch reserved just for the spa, yet many homeowners are now bringing the waterfall effect into their home showers. A waterfall instantly ups your shower game and makes anyone feel as if they’ve just stepped into the spa.
Hidden Toilets
To add to the aesthetic value and spa-like design many homeowners desire, many owners are opting for hidden toilets, installing small enclosures. This adds a sense of privacy and makes the space feel more like an oasis.
Add Greenery
Without color, the bathroom can feel very drab. As an inexpensive fix, you can add plants to brighten and liven up the space and make it feel more inviting.
Whether you’re looking to do a major renovation or a smaller scale one, the bathroom is a great space to target. By adding modern elements and livening up the space, you’ll add a ton of value to your loft!
