Bathroom Design Trends That Real Estate Agents Should Know

Bathroom Design Trends That Real Estate Agents Should Know

A well-maintained bathroom can make a house 2 to 3 percent more valuable. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to most homeowners and real estate agents: they all know that bathroom quality is one of the most important things to consider when buying or selling a home. But keeping it clean isn’t the only thing you can do to increase its value, and some bathrooms need to be redesigned in order to increase the value of the property. Here are the current value-boosting trends in the world of bathrooms.

Industrialised Fixtures

Old will always be in. For every modern trend, there are contrarians who want the opposite. Perhaps this explains the trend for industrialised bathrooms. Some bathrooms are designed to resemble what factory workers from 1911 would use. Although this may sound unappealing in theory, it’s different in practice. In fact, with their exposed pipes, deep sinks and elongated faucets, these bathrooms have an elegant, steampunk vibe. Be on the lookout for homes with industrial-style bathrooms. Their owners know what’s stylish this year.

Unique Tiles

Tiled floors are bathroom staples. But while tiles remain the standard for floors and walls, they are evolving – and the results are extraordinary. Say goodbye to squares with alternating colours and hello to glistening and multi-layered diamond, arabesque, chevron, Moroccan fish scale, and hexagon patterns. The latter comes in a variety of unusual styles that include Chelsea, Hopi, Ava and Buckfastleigh. These tiles are reinvigorating not just bathroom floors but walls, showers, and ceilings, and they can be used alongside square tiles to create a striking visual effect.

Decked with Tech

Real estate agents and homeowners should not lag behind in regards to bathroom technology. Although the bathroom is the last place that many homeowners would think to install electronics, “smart” tech is infiltrating everything from toilets to showers, pushing bathrooms into the 21st century. Smart technology automatises connected devices. Toilets will flush themselves, clean themselves, clean their users, freshen the air, and help guide users in the dark. Smart showers will turn on and off, change water temperature and pressure, and even set time limits – all via voice or smartphone app. Some bathrooms even have wall-fastened digital panels that control all the devices in the room.

It’s imperative for real estate agents and homeowners to understand the trends shaping modern bathrooms. After all, the bathroom is arguably the most important room in the house. Industrialised fixtures, unique tile patterns, and tech décor are adding value to bathrooms and the houses to which they belong.
