Selling your House with a Bathroom Vanities Remodel!

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Bathrooms and kitchens are MOST important for anyone buying a house. It can maketh or break a real estate deal!

So, any sweat equity or money you put in your bathroom will usually give you returns. With interest.

If you are ‘presenting’ your house to a potential buyer, then, you have to make sure that your bathroom is not just functional, but, makes a style statement with lot of aesthetic features.

From the perspective of a potential buyer, the design of bathroom is as important as design of other room. And, the kitchen and bathroom size and features can make or break a deal. The point is, that, people can repaint the house. However, redoing a bathroom is expensive. So, sweat equity in bathroom remodel is VERY important.

The range of bathroom vanities available is mind boggling and selection. Here is an example:

Personal style of your Bathroom Furniture-

Although you should make sure your bathroom has a personal touch, it shouldn’t be TOO personal. The colors and feel should appeal to a buyer, so that THEY can imagine themselves in the bathroom. Neutral shades that are light work wonders for smaller bathrooms, especially the color of bathroom cabinets, bathroom furniture and bathroom vanities! For example, a traditional bathroom vanity will work better than a glass  or a stone vessel. A buyer may have a child in their family, and, may not want a glass vessel.

Functionality and practicality-

Bathroom vanities, countertops and stone vessels should be easy to clean, scratch-proof, and have storage

Focus on Quality, not, just the price!

Buying cheap bathroom vanities usually means compromising with quality. If you want your bathroom furniture to last, buy, things that are branded, good quality and come with a warranty. Warranty goes a LONG way with a new buyer. You can always go for a branded product from a factory outlet. Bathnuvo sells art-bathe and studio-bathe brands online for a fraction of a price all over New York, California, Florida. In fact, they ship free all over North America.

Size of Bathroom Vanities

Small bathroom vanities are ideal for a half bathroom. For a full bathroom in a master bedroom, you can even go for His and Her bathroom vanities.
