Change the Look of Your Bathroom with Paint and Accessories

When staging a home for sale I always tell my clients to update their bathrooms with paint, new shower curtains and accessories. This can be achieved very easily and for a minimal cost, but the change is HUGE and one that will always appeal to buyers.

Too many times sellers think they need to update their fixtures because the color scheme of their sink or toilet is dated. This is especially true when you see the gray tiles or those lovely blue tiles that we all had at one time or another. 

I always try to impress upon my clients that while we may not be able to change the tiles and fixtures, we can always dress the room up to accentuate the colors and show buyers how they can live in the space until they can afford to replace it.

Here are two baths we just completed and the client GOT what I was trying to say. The first bath is a little difficult to see but it had a gray toilet and sink and gray tile on the floor. It would have cost too much for my client to replace all that, so I removed the wallpaper and painted the walls a warm toffee color, then dressed the room with plum and green accessories.

The second bath was an easier fix. Painting over peach colored faux finish walls and bringing in accessories that have warmer colors to them transformed the bath to a room more suited to adults.

Simple staging and redesign techniques that will prepare your home to sell does not have to cost you a fortune.

Hey Phyllis, I agree with you..  Bathrooms and Kitchens can be updated and look cleaner with new curtains, mats, etc.  If possible, new countertops also look great and don't cost too much, especially if they are in need of a change.  The payoff will be wonderful.

                  THANKS!!

HI Phyllis, it really takes the eye of a professional stager to pull off a transformation like that. Let us know when it sells, love to hear the feedback from the buyers now that the tiles and toilets have been toned down alot.
