Staging a Bathroom: How to Make Buyers Fall in Love With Yours.

We all know that kitchens and bathrooms sell homes. These two small but very important rooms of any home can become either deal-makers or deal-breakers when it comes to selling your property. Speaking of bathrooms many of us wish to escape an everyday reality in a spa-like environment surrounded by updated vanities, floating sinks, stainless steel faucets, glass showers, and uhhh-so-inviting soaker tubs. But even if your bathroom does not pretend to bear the title of "The Best Bathroom of the Year", you can still create that much-desired look of a cozy and inviting space. Whether selling or staying, spruce up the look of your bathroom with our easy-to-do tips:

If you don't plan to spend big buck on a new bathtub, consider re-glazing the old one. This procedure, done by a professional, can save you up to 90% of the cost of a new bathtub. Re-glazing also helps to get rid of that pink or blue-colored sinks, which scream "DATED!".
If you see signs of mould on your bathroom walls, here is a little trick you can do to get rid of it: dilute bleach with water 50/50 and spray it on your walls. The mould should disappear. Secure the achieved effect with a fresh coat of paint and... voila! - you've got a fresh new looking walls.
Clean, clean, clean! Your bathroom should be spotless clean, therefore make sure there is no rust on your faucets; scour the glass door of your shower, so the glass actually becomes invisible; and polish your tile so it looks like it's been just installed.
Every bathroom needs some storage space. So if you don't have any, consider putting some portable shelving where you can display your clean towels or invest into closed cabinets.
Accessorize your bathroom: to create a truly spa-like feel of your bathroom and make it look like it just came to life from the magazine pages, do not forget about essential accessories: candles, sea shells, plants, and of course, some art.
