Developing a property can be a very challenging experience but when it comes to the bathroom there are some things that you should bear in mind. Everyone has different tastes and creating a bathroom that will suit the requirements of any potential buyers is always going to be tricky.
What do potential buyers want?
- A clean, tidy bathroom can work wonders and it’s important for when any potential buyers come to view.
- When creating a new bathroom in a property development it’s important that you are careful with the wow factor, think about your target market and if your house appeals to families with young children always include a bath.
- The majority of buyers would like a shower enclosure as well as a bath, so try to fit one in if you can; a quadrant enclosure is a great space-saver. If you don’t have the room install a shower over the bath.
- Ensure that your bathroom is well lit and include as much natural light as possible. If the bathroom doesn’t have any windows install plenty of bright lights and perhaps include extra lights to illuminate the basin and mirror areas.
- Avoid carpet in the bathroom, this is not a great look and water and carpet isn’t a good mix. Install tiles or vinyl flooring for a fresh, modern feel.
What look should I create?
- The most sensible purchase would be a plain, white bathroom suite, which combines style and practicality. Buying a complete bathroom suite is also a great way to save money.
- By choosing a less expensive toilet, basin and bath it allows you to spend a bit more on some stylish taps and accessories.
- Install a heated towel rail or designer radiator for added luxury and to enhance the overall feel of the bathroom.
- Include some storage such as a vanity unit, shelving or a mirrored cabinet.
- Create a neat, uniform look by choosing matching fixtures and fittings.
- Keep the look fresh and simple so it appeals to a wider audience.
- Don’t forget the finishing touches such as fluffy towels, decorative objects and a large mirror to create a more welcoming feel.
