DBG Blog #16 - Considerations for your bathroom renovation

In our experience with Adelaide bathroom renovations, people decide to renovate their bathrooms for two main reasons:

1.     Update an aging bathroom to suit their lifestyle; or

2.     Increase the sale value of their home.

Below are a few tips that can set you up for success.

Renovating for lifestyle

Even the best thought-out bathroom designs need updating after enough time has passed. Whether you’re looking to modernise your bathroom or do a complete re-design, you should consider both your current budget and the future sale of your home. Designing your bathroom to suit, and completing your selections before starting the renovation, will ensure that the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Before starting your bathroom renovation, we recommend you talk to a designer to get ideas on how you can maximise efficiency and space while keeping your bathroom aesthetically pleasing.

 

Renovating to sell

If you’re renovating your bathroom to sell, consider the buying market for your home. For example, if your home has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, families will likely be more interested in purchasing the home..

Renovating to sell means you’ll be designing your space with as much aesthetic neutrality as possible. Although you may think a bold feature wall would add value to the home, you may want to consider neutral colours such as grey and white to avoid discouraging buyers due to personal taste.

 

Drafting a design

No matter what your motivation is for renovating your bathroom, we suggest working with a builder who supplies drafting services in-house. This will help you design the space in the best way possible. A draftsperson can help visualise your selections and the design of the room, and when working for a builder, they know how to keep the project within budget.
