Not only it enables the homeowners to enjoy the latest trends and the beauty but also get the investment back when it comes to sell. Yes the investment of $$ in your kitchen and bathrooms could be asked while pricing your home to sell.

Light up the place
Open up the space. Get out of the clutter. Adding large windows and skylights lets you draw the outdoors into your space. Get that natural spa feel in your bathroom. Get more natural light in your kitchen. Even your kitchen and bathroom shows well if it is well-lit space. Alternatively use “white light” bulbs instead of the usual yellow bulbs. A few bucks, go a long way.
Extra Storage
Ample storage is paramount. Be it a pantry in the kitchen or extra shelves under a vanity in the bathroom. This should be the major consideration while planing your space. This could include a larger vanity, aesthetically blended shelves or strategically placed cabinet. Any extra storage will help shelve your clutter and stow away unsightly personal products and cleaning supplies.
Tuck away Toilet
Tucking Toilet
Even the latest and unique model of toilet should be considered to be tucked away behind a separate room or a half wall. You could then decorate it with more eye-pleasing accessories to take over as focal point.
Tiles and Mosaics
Natural stone tiles and mosaics are synonyms to luxury. Be it marble or porcelain for your bathroom or travertine tiles and mosaics for your kitchen, Pebble tiles for your shower floors or glass blend mosaics for your kitchen back-splash. Nothing emits more luxury than a natural stone. If a full slab of marble is not a viable option for the bathroom walls you could opt for a more affordable marble mosaics or glass mosaics. Using 1×1 mm mosaics, subway tiles, herringbone, split faced tiles and 3D Mosaics are the newest trend today for your back-splash and wall projects.
