When it comes to selling a home, every room matters. However, if the kitchen is the heart of the home, the bathroom can be considered the brains. It’s where you spend time alone, pondering your thoughts, and it’s an area that can make or break a potential sale. If your bathroom is looking dingy, it might be time to give it a spruce-up. Here are some tips to make your loo more attractive to potential buyers without breaking the bank.
- Cleanliness is Key
A sparkling clean bathroom is the easiest and most cost-effective way to give it a glow-up. Remove stubborn stains from the toilet or sink by using white vinegar or lemon juice. If grout has discoloured, use a combination of white vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, and an old toothbrush to get rid of any mould or dirt. Ensure all surfaces are clean and clutter-free.
- Shower Makeover
If you have a shower curtain, ensure it looks clean and fresh, with no visible mould marks. If it’s old and worn, consider investing in a new one. If you have a shower or bath screen, get rid of any water marks and dry it with a cloth after cleaning.
- Create a Home Spa
You don’t need to spend a fortune on fancy rain showers or wood panelling to create a welcoming and relaxing bathroom. Use accessories like matching towels, reed diffusers, neatly arranged shower gels, and bubble baths. Get rid of old or stained toothbrush holders and soap dishes, replacing them with a matching set.
- Storage Solutions
Even small bathrooms need storage. Invest in a slimline mirrored wall cabinet to hide your toiletries away and give the illusion of more space. If you have space and budget, consider a vanity unit under the basin. Avoid open shelving unless you’re a neat freak.
- Lighting
If your bathroom doesn’t have a window, you may want to brighten it up. White paint with a slight sheen can brighten up a dull space, and white accessories like towels and bathmats will give it a lighter feel.
In conclusion, a dingy bathroom can put off potential buyers, but with these tips, you can easily spruce it up and attract more interest in your property. Contact us to learn more about how we can help you sell your home.
