Bathroom advice please.
Comments (6)When preparing a house for sale, it is quite advisable to freshen up (at least) kitchen and bathrooms. Potential buyers are often more interested in buying a house that has these elements already done and then add their finishing touches to living room, bedrooms, etc, instead of having to re-do kitchens and bathrooms (because they always feel these will cost a bomb and they might find issues too). I would definitely recommend that you renovate your bathroom so you maximise your chances of selling at a good price. The trick is not to overcapitalise (i.e. spending more than you will gain when selling). With the bath, I totally second fiona_ab's comment above on pretty much every point she makes. Free-standing baths look great in large bathrooms where they can rally be seen (ideally, we should be able to easily walk around the bath). From the picture I see, your bathroom seems to be a little too small for this. Besides, built-in bath tubs tend to cost significantly less. I would also not recommend to knock down walls to include the toilets, for the reasons given by both commentators above: privacy/practicality and additional costs involved. Changing your tiles (floor and walls!), putting in a new white bath tub, replacing current tapware with contemporary ones and installing a new vanity with a large mirror above it will make a massive change to your bathroom and that could be reflected at sale time. I hope this helps :)...See MoreHelp! Bathroom reno advice
Comments (7)In hindsight, it would have been better to recess the cabinet into the wall. Then you could have some side lighting that wills stick out past the cabinet and give you lighting so the missus can do her thing and you can shave and see everything. I agree with previous comments about pendant lighting. Possibly look at a pair of lights over the top of the cabinet pointing down coming out of the wall. I attached some pics with ideas. Otherwise a row of led downlights above the cabinet would also look nice....See MoreCopper bathroom accessories
Comments (4)It will depend whether the accessories are real copper or copper coloured metal (there is a lot of copper coloured around at the moment). If it's real copper it can be sealed to prevent tarnish. Verdigris will form on unsealed copper over time when it's exposed to air & water....See MoreSmall bathroom design - help needed! Thoughts on wetroom bathrooms?
Comments (6)When it comes to designing a small bathroom, a wetroom bathroom can be a great option as it can maximise the available space and create a sleek and modern look. Here are some thoughts and tips to keep in mind: Space optimisation: Since wetroom bathrooms eliminate the need for a separate shower enclosure, you can use the available space more efficiently. You can install a walk-in shower that blends with the rest of the bathroom or create a partial wall to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. Waterproofing: It's important to make sure that your wetroom bathroom is completely waterproof to avoid any potential water damage. You'll need to install a waterproof membrane on the walls and floor and ensure that the drain is properly installed to prevent any water from seeping through. Flooring: Choose a non-slip flooring option that's suitable for wet environments. Tiles are a popular choice for wetroom bathrooms as they're durable and easy to clean. Lighting: Good lighting is essential in a small bathroom to create an illusion of space. Consider installing recessed lighting in the ceiling or above the shower area to provide adequate lighting without taking up too much space. Storage: To make the most of your small bathroom, you'll need to incorporate some storage solutions. You can install a vanity unit with drawers or shelves to store toiletries and towels, or consider adding some floating shelves or a medicine cabinet. Overall, a wetroom bathroom can be a great choice for a small bathroom as it can create a spacious and modern look while maximising the available space. Just make sure to keep in mind the waterproofing and other considerations mentioned above to ensure a functional and stylish design.
