Bathroom Updates You Can Do in a Day for Under $100 Each

           

         Your house is on the market but so far there are no offers.  You hear comments like, the fixtures are old, the lighting is terrible, or the worst, the bathrooms look dated.  I know it’s frustrating, but there are things you can do to make those buyers take notice. A few simple changes in your bathroom could make all the difference and they don’t have to break your piggy bank.  First and foremost, the best and cheapest thing you can do to make buyers feel comfortable is to make sure that your bathrooms are clean and neatly organized.  A bathroom that is cluttered and unorganized will turn off any buyer.  Besides organizing, one of the easiest things to do to make an impact in the bathroom is to simply change out the towels and mats around the room.  You would be surprised how much a new set of extra plush towels in a vibrant hue can transform the look and feel of the room.   Another easy fix is to add ambiance to your bathroom.  A few candles, pictures, and other decorative touches can make a world of difference and help create a warm and inviting environment to prospective buyers. 

         Now for the more adventurous amateur DIYer, there a few relatively inexpensive but a little more involved things you can do to update your bathrooms in a day.  A pop of color in a bathroom is a great way to change the look of the room.  Try painting your old cabinet, a wall, or perhaps the door to add a little spice to the room or go all white and make it look clean and fresh.  Play with the lighting in the room by changing out the old fixtures to a new style.  Just replacing the glass shades to a something more modern will make an old fixture like new again.   Replacing the old hardware on the cabinets themselves can convert them to something new and exciting.  Finally, updating the fixtures such as faucets or showerheads can bring a bathroom back into this day and age and make prospective buyers take a second look.
