Staging the Bathroom

It’s time to talk about the least talked about place in the home. The bathroom. The irony of the lack of discussion over today’s WC is that most Americans really, really value their bathrooms. Sure, it’s likely not as important as the kitchen or living space, but it’s something to consider staging or remodeling if your house is for sale.

Staging Dallas has been staging bathrooms for years and although it is a time consuming space to stage, it’s very unlikely that the potential homebuyers take more than 3 seconds to evaluate the bathroom. Unlike the way that people carefully assess the kitchen cabinets, sink, pantry, the storage etc., the bathroom is such a private spot in ones home and touring it with others can make for an uncomfortable position.

That’s why it’s even more important to stage your bathroom. One quick glance is your only shot at impressing a future homebuyer.

So, what can you do?

As you can see with the above bathrooms staged by Staging Dallas, adding towels, flowers, and anything that adds that sense of luxury to the lavatory is a major plus. The bathroom is often a place for respite, relaxation and a chance to get away from the chaos of the rest of the house (any parents out there?). So by adding thoughtful touches can enhance the outlook.

Consider a remodel

Remodeling a bathroom is expensive, but it can very much pay off in the home sale. According to Zillow, bathroom remodels yield the biggest returns in terms of boosting your home’s resale value. For minor cosmetic changes, you’ll see a $1.71 increase in home value for every $1 you spend. Zillow also reported that as much as 26% of home sellers make some sort of improvement before putting it on the market.

Overall, don’t let your un-attended to bathroom be the reason the homebuyer has a negative outlook of your home. Use Staging Dallas’ expertise and opinions reshape the place your commode calls home. Contact us today!
