A bathroom is an essential part of any home, but one that is often overlooked. Updating this space or adding a new bathroom is one of the best ways to add value to your home. Your goal is to make your bathroom both functional and stylish. A bathroom remodel or addition is one way to improve the salability of your home or make it more practical for you and your family.


Wondering which part of the bathroom can have the best return of investment.


1. Vanity
This is one of the best projects to do for the biggest return – but it may be a bit more expensive than the others. Updating the vanity will generally also include the countertops, faucet, and sink, which can eat up a lot of your budget. Most homebuyers these days are looking for vanities that hit a comfortable height and have granite countertops so pay close attention to overall cost of your materials.


2. Flooring
Replacing flooring will go to the farthest in giving your bathroom a new overall appearance. Inexpensive porcelain or ceramic style, or even vinyl can be engineered to look like classic wood or stone but is still completely waterproof and off course durable to any level of moisture.


3. Tub or Shower
Particularly with a master’s bathroom, the current trend is to pull out the bathtub and install a larger, walk in shower. Soaking tubs are still a valuable option if there’s space.


Above all this you have to have a layout which you will follow and be keen on, the you also have to remember that the average cost of a new bathroom remodel can vary widely, depending on the age of the home and how much plumbing or electrical work is required.
