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.

Extra Storage

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

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

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.
