Some people say that the kitchen is the part of a house that determines whether or not people will buy a property. The reality is, that there is only one kitchen, so it is easy to renovate or redesign. On the other hand, most large houses or apartments, listed for sale these days, have at least two bathrooms, at least one more en suites and probably additional toilets. That combination would create a very expensive renovation bill. Way more than a kitchen.

Houses are designed to be both functional and attractive. They are intended to provide zones to accommodate our needs in terms of sleep, recreation, cleansing, food preparation and storage. Sleeping areas and living areas are often the largest rooms in a house yet they are the least expensive to build or renovate.

More money as a percentage of the cost of a house, is spent in bathrooms, toilets and kitchens.

Designers and home owners need to be aware that renovating a living room will not be hugely expensive, whereas recreating a full size bathroom will be very expensive. To avoid unnecessary costs in a renovation or changes to be made in a new residence, property professionals need to take time to carefully design attractive and functional expensive room spaces from the start.

Builders initially should reach out to businesses like Clearlight Designs to see what stylish and functional bathroom or wet area fittings and fixtures are available. By undertaking some design investigation, expensive mistakes can be avoided. It is vital to choose bathroom mirrors, shower screens and frosted glass for bath areas carefully. Designers and renovators need to think of the entire house when picking colours and choosing quality design. Colour schemes and fixture items should be consistent throughout every building so as to create a feeling of continuity and consistency.

People who are preparing the list of prime cost items for a property should be prepared to continually, explore the market to see what new products have been released. LED lights incorporated into mirrors are one way of creating mood lighting in bathrooms. In addition, modern bathroom fittings provide lighting in energy efficient ways and over the life of a property, reduce costs.

A well designed and efficient bathroom suite will be a prime consideration when buyers are looking through a property that is on their short list. Choose fixtures and fittings wisely.
