CABINETS & STORAGE
Bathrooms offer a challenge for homeowners in terms of storage. After installing a sink, bathtub, toilet, and shower, there still needs to be somewhere to store hygiene items and towels. In addition, these storage solutions must be aesthetically pleasing to potential home buyers, so it can be a balancing act to make sufficient space without becoming unattractive or overly utilitarian. However, there are solutions to make the most of available space: • Vertical: Most bathrooms don’t utilize the upper wall space, leaving these spaces barren. To remedy this, try installing multi-tiered shelving units in strategic places, with towels within easy reach of the bath/shower. Alternatively, recessed alcoves between wall studs can create useful spaces for holding smaller items. • Moveable: Using baskets or hampers for items can make the most of spaces where cabinets cannot fit. Be sure these moveable additions match the décor of the bathroom, even if they are not included with the sale of the house. As for the cabinets, be sure that the materials are up to date and not reflective of short-lived trends, as these can work against a seller when they fall out of favor. Make sure that the colors of the cabinets are neutral and are made of a moisture-resistant wood appropriate for the bathroom.
