Builders LondonBATHROOM After the kitchen, bathrooms are the next rooms that potential buyers look at. To impress a potential buyer, your bathroom should not only feel new, but also look sharp. Usually a bathroom renovation involves the complete replacement of existing finish and fixtures tubs/showers, toilets, faucets, sinks, tiles, flooring, lightings, cabinetry, and tile-work. Sometimes bathroom renovation also involves the re-location of fixtures and the removal of adjacent walls to create a better layout. A common renovation trend has been enlarging a master or ensuite bathroom into an adjacent closet or laundry room to create space for a large soaker tub and separate stand-up shower. Twin sinks and extensive cabinetry can also offer added conveniences. A study from Canadas leading real estate companies shows that a well designed bathroom renovation will generate a 56% better return on investment than the average popular renovation. The study also shows that most home buyers are looking for bathrooms that have a spa-like environment or a comfortable environment at first glance. Light colours, rich textures, luxuries such as water jets in the tub and steam shower stall can emphasize the relaxed atmosphere in the bathrooms. Remember, a well-designed environment will bring a return on your investment, plus you get to enjoy it everyday before you sell your property! FLOOR AND WALL FINISHES Dont undervalue the paint and flooring in your home! Walking into any room of a house, the walls and floors are the first surfaces that a person sees; therefore materiality is very important in order to make a strong first impression. Walls should be smooth and painted in a colour that isnt too much of a personal preference. A light and warm neutral colour usually works best to both enlarge the look of a space, but also create a warm and desirable ambiance. Simply repainting your walls will give you a 29% better return than other popular renovations. Flooring should create a good flow between one room to the next and be able to tie in with other elements such as cabinetry, wall colours, and baseboards. Choosing the right floor finish is important as it ties all the individual element of your home together. Always consult a design professional before changing your floor unless you are certain of what you want as flooring is often difficult and expensive to change. Based on studies, flooring can generate a 22% better return on investment than the average renovations.
