Potential homebuyers know that they will be spending a good deal of time in the bathroom, and they want the best their money can buy. However, upgrading your bathroom and staging it to the nines can only get you so far without putting yourself in the buyer’s shoes. The following remodeling and upgrade ideas are what buyers on the market really want right now, and they will make your home more attractive overall.

Shower

You don’t need to have an extravagantly expensive shower to make it look and feel high-end. Buyers can easily upgrade things like the showerhead, so don’t think too hard about those small fixes—think long-term durability and usefulness.

Recessed lighting 

If you don’t have natural light pouring into the bathroom, you should install recessed lighting in the shower ceiling. Recessed lighting looks sleek and elegant. Additionally, in-shower lighting provides an extra layer of accessibility and safety to the shower. Buyers will appreciate it because they won’t have to hire an electrician or install it themselves.

New, clean tile 

When was the last time you gave your shower tile a good cleaning? If your tile is old or beyond repair, you should replace it. Cracked mildew-stained tile is an instant turnoff. The last thing a buyer wants to do when they move in is scrub grime off their shower. Install neutral-colored tile on the walls of your shower, or, if you have the budget to for it, choose earth-toned stone. Stone is rated highly for its durability and classy look. By making this upgrade, you’re saving potential buyers time and money, which could make your home more attractive.

Sink 

Sellers often upgrade the sink and vanity area of the bathroom in the wrong way. A flashy new vanity won’t do you any good without considering the following.

Ample storage 

Bathroom storage is crucial. When you have enough cabinet space and shelving, potential buyers can feel good about having a place for all their belongings. Be sure to choose a high-quality vanity that stands out. Deep drawers, under sink storage, and shelving next to the vanity and over the toilet will show buyers the potential for easy organization.

Spacious sinks

Sink basins come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The best type of sink to install when you’re selling is a double sink, but if you don’t have the space, install an undermount sink. These sinks look sleek, modern, minimalistic, and complement most home designs. Buyers won’t have to worry about the sink matching the bathroom design they have in mind.

Hidden gems 

Sometimes the best features are the ones that buyers can’t see. These tech upgrades will add an extra piece of comfort people won’t forget when they leave the house.

Vent with a Bluetooth speaker

Who doesn’t love to listen to music and sing in the shower? This vent shows off style, music, and perfect lighting all in one. With its Bluetooth connectivity, night light, dimmer options, and sleek control board, buyers won’t be impressed by other bathroom vents. This option from Homewerks is affordable and easy to install.

Heated floors 

Cold tile floors aren’t the most inviting when going to the bathroom or stepping out of the shower. Adding heated floors to the bathroom ensures your buyers feel comfortable and cozy in the room. Warmth elicits positive feelings, so you can expect buyers to make an emotional connection with your home.

When you update your bathroom before selling your home, make sure you keep the buyer’s needs and wants in mind. Not all cosmetic upgrades boost the connection your buyers feel to your home. However, if you make these suggested changes, they’ll be sure to leave the tour with a lasting impression and smiles on their faces.
