Bathroom renovation ideas for Hawaii oceanfront homes

For those looking to sell their Hawaii oceanfront homes,a renovation should be in order. It will breathe new life into the house, making it look fresher and more inviting to prospective buyers. And in any updating effort, the bathroom is among the most important rooms to devote one’s attention to.

Here are some great ideas for bathroom renovation, for Hawaii beach homes for sale:

Tiles with print or patterns. On the walls or on the floor, tiles with prints or patterns allow the homeowner to make a bold statement in what would otherwise be expected as a plain, austere space.

A new, more moderntub. A freestanding tub looks and feels modern and luxurious, lending a spa vibe to a bathroom.You may also give a bath tub a new look with a fresh coat of paint, finish, or glazing on its sides.A tub in matte black could be nice and unexpected, and will go well with brass fixtures, which have become very popular these days.

Touches of black here and there. Most people opt for lighter colors for their bathrooms, including frosty white, ivory, eggshell, beige, and light brown. But designers are now infusing black here and there, and achieving a welcome graphic look: Black on the grout, the sink countertop, or the window casement, or the shell of the low-hung pendant light. Black can also be used on the metal frames of the shower walls, the hooks, the door handles, or the vanities.

Updated fixtures.From the lighting, to the hardware on the cabinets, to the showerheads, faucets, and taps, it pays to have some refinishing or repainting done. They will easily stand out from the rest of the bathroom components, and tell a buyer that attention has been paid to the details.

Repair or replace the cabinets. Cabinets can reveal the age of a bathroom. And if you want it to appear new, enlist the services of a carpenter to update or replace them. Check for molds inside, or for rusty or squeaky hinges. Make sure the doors and drawers open without fuss, and that the paint is clean and polished, because the discerning buyer – the one who is likely to take good care of your property – will probably try to open them.
