Tips for a Beautiful Bathroom Renovation

When considering a bathroom renovation, be aware that this room is one of those that will dramatically affect the resale value of your home. A well designed bathroom is a key selling point because, although not typically one of the largest rooms in the house, it can still become quite costly to remodel since most of the critical fixtures are semi-permanent. For this reason, it is advised to never purchase fixtures that are colored. That is, stick to white, bone or grey for the toilet, sink, bathtub and field tile. Far too many home purchases have been thwarted by the implementation of yellow-gold, pink or blue bathroom fixtures whose color goes out of style in 5 years, but whose life expectancy is 20.

This is not to say your bathroom is to be void of color – on the contrary! It is actually very easy to make a big color impact in a small room that is easy for the next owner to modify just be selecting a bright colored paint for one wall, and bright colors for the window treatment, shower curtain and valance and accessories. The field color on wall tile should be neutral, but can be accented by bright colored insert tiles which can be individually broken out and changed in color if the homeowner wants to change the color palette of the room.

For the same reason, choose neutral colors for the floor tile and countertop finish. Typically a slate type finish will keep the bathroom looking cleaner by camouflaging the dust that easily collects there from frequent use. Countertops can be actual slate, slate finished tile or a plastic laminate pattern that emulates a slate finish. Colors should be warm and medium toned so the room does not feel unbalanced by a very dark floor and light colored fixtures.

These simple recommendations will help to fulfill your longings for a beautiful bathroom renovation, while increasing the value of your home.
