Fishing for information on the internet can be very time consuming, however you can run across things of great value!
I recently read an article describing the bathroom as the new den. I agree that the master bath is a major focus point for today's buyers. (It's the only place in this busy world that we live in that we can just "take a minute")
An upgraded bathroom helps sell a home and can be a good investment.
After polling several areas across the country the trends seem to be:
1. Large airy showers with hinged doors and heavier glass. Expanding the shower is a major plus!
2. Jucuzzi tubs are being replaced by soaking tubs. These jetless tubs are deep and insulated.
3. Allow more sun/light, people are installing sky lights or windows for a brighter natural light.
4. Steam Bath. This is definately an upgrade, however it is included as one of the new trends.
5. Change the ventilation with a remote fan (with the motor elsewhere), it is about 10 times more powerful that the standard exhaust fan
6. Separate water closet (more privacy the better)
7. Flat screen tv's
8. Vertical storage with smaller storage drawers is working well while saving space.
9. Dual vanities a must
10. Grab bars in the number one room where accidents happen.
11. Heated tile flooring
12. Move away from linoleum and glazed tile toward porcelain tile, stone tile or even glass tile.
13. On demand water heaters and other green products. All these popular trends can't compare to the environmental friendly kind. Any way to conserve energy or use less water is on the rise!
