look of your bathroom — repainting your walls, for instance. You can only pull off the “spa look” if the walls look good. If your bathroom is wallpapered, it’s likely that the wallpaper is peeling — so remove it, and paint instead. Even if your walls are painted, you may want to consider repainting them to give a fresh new look. If you’re going to paint or repaint, it’s wise choice to stick with neutral colors. They’re more likely to appeal to more prospective buyers. Apart from painting, other bathroom upgrades that you can do without spending a fortune are replacing leaking and worn taps, installing new light fittings, and updating the cabinets. If your toilet is broken, badly stained, or outdated, you should consider replacing it. Buy a new shower curtain and tie it back with ribbons, or replace a shower screen that’s badly stained or cracked. If your home is higher-priced, you may also consider other more substantial upgrades, like changing tiles to preserve that luxury- bathroom feel buyers will want to find in a home.
