Simple Bathroom Upgrades for Better Home Improvement ROI

In a previous post, Value of the Most Popular Home Improvement Projects, we outlined for you where your clients can expect the greatest return on investment for remodeling the rooms of their homes. While none of the most popular home improvements offered an overwhelming return, bathrooms and kitchens consistently showed the best ROI. Here, we present some of the easiest and most profitable bathroom upgrades to improve the ROI of a remodel.

You can use these tips to help close the deal when you have a client that wants to “think about it some more”.

Can a Bathroom Make a Statement?

An especially quick and easy bathroom upgrade, and one which most homeowners never consider, is to add artwork to the space. From eclectic to elegant, this simple step can completely change the feel of a normally neutral room, making a statement about the homeowner’s sense of style. (Image from HuffingtonPost.com)

The 70s Called to Get Their Bathroom Back

This jetted bathtub should be a place of relaxation and respite for an exhausted homeowner. But, the dated tile and dingy colors do nothing to create a sense of tranquility.

Now, with a cottage-style makeover, done for less than $1000, this bathtub has become a destination to which a homeowner can happily return for her “Me Time”, after a busy day. (Image from HGTV.com)

Turning Classics into Contemporary Pieces

If innovation truly is the mother of invention, then adaptation may be the father of innovation.

This stunning piece employs the classic idea of a wash basin combined with an antique dresser to create a sink with modern plumbing that is truly unique and lovely.

It certainly adds more style than this old house could do. (See what we did there? LOL)

Turns out, the perfect client may not be the one who says, “Money is no object”. First, they rarely mean it, and second, they’re as rare as a stylish mullet. On the other hand, homeowners on a budget are numerous, and frequently willing to accept outside the box solutions, which is exactly what some of these bathroom upgrades are.
