Question: We want to update our family and master bathrooms this winter. What upgrades will help re-sale value?
Youre already on the right track according to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, a bathroom renovation or makeover can yield a 68% return on investment. While any bathroom makeover should complement the overall look and design of your home, *Style At Homemagazine also offers these suggestions to take everyday and master baths to the next level of functionality and indulgence:
Family bathrooms:
- Use mall-mounted faucets to save space
- Use natural stone to create a non-slip floor
- Think durable! Chrome fixtures are great for family bathrooms
- Install a tilting mirror to accommodate all heights
- Incorporate plenty of storage to keep toiletries out of sight
Master bathrooms:
- Consider furniture as an alternative to built-ins for storage or as vanity
- Heat the floor with electric coils or radiated heating, depending on budget
- Include a separate shower, tub or water closet to meet his/her needs
- Use mosaic tiles sparingly and strategically to add a touch of indulgence to floors, walls, backsplashes and showers
- Use recessed and sconce lighting to create ambiance
