Staging FAQ’s- How Can I Make My 50’s Tile in My Bathroom Work.
Preparing your home for sale doesn’t have to break your budget. It’s true, bathrooms do count when buyers are viewing a property and often the 50’s tile just screams “DATED” to the buyer. However, if your budget and time are limited, there are a few things you can do to help a buyer see this area as a possibility rather than crossing your house off their short list.
If you can’t remove it, then work with it by calling attention to other details.
1.Choose accessories that complement rather than compete with the tile. For example, you can choose all white towels or a color that doesn’t compete with the color of the tile. If you have a shower curtain, don’t let it compete with the tile.
2.Paint the walls to enhance your tile. Painting a wall a soft grey gives pink tile an updated look.
3.Keep the colors you use in the room to a minimum.
If you’re adding artwork or accessories, keep the colors in them to a minimum.
4.Speaking of artwork….
Choose something that looks as if it was picked specifically for that room. Have at least a little of the tile color in it.
5.Update your fixtures. This works whether or not you have the 50’s tile in your bathroom. And, don’t forget your light fixtures.
Don’t let your 50’s tile derail the sale of your home. Let your buyers see the possibilities.
