Although your bathroom may be one of the smallest rooms in your home, it may make or break a sale for potential buyers. This is why it?s important to have bathrooms in tip-top condition before listing your home with a realtor. Bathrooms today are more than just a place to groom; they have become a home sanctuary. Making the master bathroom attractive is especially important. The last thing sellers want is for a buyer to look at their bathroom as something they will have to work on in order to reap the benefits of relaxation. When staging a home for a showing, the bathroom is often overlooked. There are a few things that can be done to beautify a bathroom that won?t involve having to tear it down and rebuild it for a successful showing. Here are some tips that help to achieve a look that can make your bathroom one of the biggest selling points of your home.
Adding Attractive Fixtures
Change outdated fixtures such as towel racks, toilet paper holders, cabinet pulls and light fixtures. This will give the bathroom an updated, high-end appearance. Shiny new fixtures speak volumes to buyers when they are inspecting bathrooms to see if they have been updated to their specifications. The newer brushed nickel fixtures and other modern finished looks will give the bathroom a luxurious, modern look.
Bath and Shower
If the tub surface does not shine, it may need to be refinished. There are many companies that can refinish the tub for a fraction of what it would cost to replace. If the tub needs replacing, consider installing a larger tub. Modern bathrooms usually have larger tubs that buyers love. If you have a separate shower, make sure the tiles in the shower and on the floor are modern. Additionally, the grouting must be cleaned before opening the doors to potential buyers.
Cabinetry
Updating or refinishing cabinetry can change the entire look of the bathroom. The wood on the vanity can either be refinished or repainted for a fresh look. Cabinetry can also be refaced with new doors and drawer fronts that can be purchased at a local home improvement store.
Illuminate
Consider adding more lighting to the bathroom. Adding a few can lights to the ceiling can create just the right atmosphere for relaxation. Also, place scented candles around the bathroom before each showing. Your real estate agent can light them right before the showing to enhance the pleasant atmosphere you have created.
The Finishing Touch
Finally, make sure that there is a fresh coat of paint on the walls. Clean and polish every surface of the bathroom so that it reflects a squeaky clean place in which to spend time. Hang new curtains or shades if they are old or outdated. Add a few high-end towels to the towel racks to create the feeling of luxury. Putting these finishing touches on the bathroom will keep your home on the list of must-haves for today?s buyers.
