Making improvements to your bathroom is an efficient way to make a home more pleasant to live in and to add value to it if you are considering selling it.

A beautiful, high quality bathroom can add a substantial amount of value to your home, as well as make it a wonderful place to live. But with limited money and resources available to do remodeling, what should you focus on? Here are a few ideas on how to maximize the value get for your dollar.

Upgrade your shower
Having a luxurious shower is going to add remarkable value to your home, more so than almost any other improvements you can make. It’s surprising how quickly a luxury he can feel like a necessity. A relatively easy improvement to make that really catches people’s eyes is to add one of the nicer walk in showers on the market, one with some nicer tiling or perhaps even designed so that you do not need to use a shower curtain. Another route to go with it would be to get an encased shower, one that could include some steam shower units that would turn it into a shower/sauna. This will really make you feel like you’re living like a king.

Install a nicer vanity
Just as nice as a new shower is a new vanity. Installing a large, well lit mirror — maybe even something that is comfortable enough to sit in front of — will leave you with the bathroom that anyone would want to spend a long time in. This will also give you substantial selling power if you show your home to a couple who will be sharing the bathroom.

Decorative windows
Sunlight shining into a bathroom is a beautiful luxury. Sunlight shining through frosted glass is an even nicer luxury. And sunshine shining through colored glass can be the most beautiful of all. If your bathroom does not currently have a window, consider adding one. If it already has a window, consider upgrading it. Then, to top it all off, when showing the house be sure to show it on a sunny day where the window is really highlighted.

Making improvements to your bathroom is an efficient way to make a home more pleasant to live in and to add value to it if you are considering selling it. Any of these ideas would make a home that much more desirable.
