Bathroom remodeling is one of the best ways to build equity in your home. Next to the kitchen, the master bathroom is one of the rooms that can help sell a home. If you’re on a budget and are trying to pick and choose the projects that will bring some life back into the master bath, consider these that can make it look like a new space. 

5 Bathroom Remodeling Projects to Increase Your Home Value

1. Double-Sink Vanity

Nobody likes to be crowded in the bathroom as they get ready for work, and a single sink vanity provides limited space for one person. Replacing the current vanity with a double sink will not only elongate your bathroom, but it will also give you more storage and lend the appearance of more space in the room.

2. Lighting

Lighting in any room is significant, but it is crucial in the bathroom. If you have a small budget, but still want to do some bathroom remodeling, update the lighting overhead or around the vanity. Opt for fixtures that focus on the mirror and inside the shower, two areas where you need adequate light. The choice of bulbs will influence how space looks, so consider efficient ones that give off a natural, sunlight glow. 

3. Extra Storage

If you’re struggling with storage in the bathroom, add horizontal shelving above the toilet or along a blank wall. Adding cabinets can be expensive, and shelves can either be purchased at a low cost or made as a DIY project. This will give you the extra space you desire without making the bathroom feel dark and cramped with more cabinets.

4. Walk-In Shower

If you’re looking to get rid of an old corner tub in the master, consider replacing it with a walk-in shower. Showers are becoming increasingly popular and are a factor that many people look for when purchasing a home. You can tie in the existing floor tile by using that same tile in the shower, giving your bathroom a seamless look, or you can opt for wood bamboo planks to tie in some natural tones. 

5. Adding a Bathroom

Adding onto your home is always a smart option, especially if you only have one bathroom. Many older homes lack a second bathroom and including one can pay off if you continue to live in your house or if you decide to sell. Not only will you enjoy the extra private space, but so will houseguests or potential buyers.
