If Your Selling Your Home Consider Upgrading Your Bathroom

Everyone knows that bathrooms and kitchens sell homes, so if you are putting your house on the market consider some of these bathroom upgrades.

If you are planning on selling your home, then consider installing some of the following ten upgrades to help in the sale of your home.

One of the simplest and most inexpensive things you can do to your bathroom and any room of your home is to repaint. Adding a fresh coat of paint makes any room more attractive.
Adding or upgrading to a “Big Mirror.” Large mirrors offer a lager view and make a small bathroom look bigger than what it truly is by making the room look brighter and more spacious. A 4’x5’ polished edge mirror usually cost approximately $160. You can find excellent quality mirrors on line or through the yellow pages.
Install a towel warmer. You can make even the most modest of bathrooms feel more luxurious by adding a towel warmer. Usually a small towel warmer uses the same amount of energy as a 100wt. Light bulb. However, large towel warmers can increase the temperature of an average size bathroom. All have on/off switchers and a few models even have timers. The price of a towel warmer will average about $40 to upwards of $300 depending on style and size. You can find a wide selection of towel warmers on the Internet.
Install recessed medicine cabinets. Space is a big selling point to any home. For as little as $30 dollars, you can add more space to any bathroom.
Believe it or not but one of the latest trends is having a dimmer switch in the bathroom. You can alter the light when applying makeup, shaving, or when you just want to set the mood. The average dimmer switch runs about $8 to $25.
Install new faucets and hardware. By installing up-to-date, new facets, light fixtures, towel bars, and or cabinet hardware and even a quieter bathroom fan does make a huge impact on a bathroom.
More lighting is always a big plus. You may want to consider installing sky lighting especially if your bathroom is an inner room with no windows. However, if your bathroom is on an outside wall, then adding a window could do the trick.
