Who would have thought years ago that potential home buyers would be so focused on the bathrooms! They care about everything. The countertops, paint, fixtures….and mostly the flooring. It is not uncommon for folks looking to buy a new home to consider the flooring as a top priority. And, for good reason! If the flooring is less than desirable it will be a major expense. Bathroom flooring is no different!
Even though the bathrooms can be the smallest rooms in your home, they have incredible visual impact. Carpet went out years ago, replaced by vinyl and now ceramic or natural stone. Why? Because people spend a lot of time in their bathrooms and they want a RETREAT! After a long day at work (or a long night of no sleep!) they look to their bathrooms as a place to relax! Big, whirlpool tubs, sauna showers and elegant stone designs such as granite and marble – can turn a ho hum bathroom into a classy spa in your home. And, don’t ignore the fact that a small investment in updating your baths can reap your big rewards when you decide to sell your home.
For flooring consider big 12″x12″ tile which can expand a space and give it a luxurious look. Go with calm, neutral colors, then accessorize with towels and paint colors that YOU love but can later be changed out when you are tired of it or are ready to sell. Purple towels, hot pink walls…go for it! Just use calm, cool colors for your back drop — countertops, floor and shower — and everyone will be happy!
