Use a New Bathroom Vanity to Make Your Home Sparkle

Chances are when you buy a new home it is not going to be perfect and have all the features you are looking for. The only way to get your perfect home is by building a house of your home and even then it may not be your ideal home due to budgeting issues. Because of this, chances are you will have to undergo some home remodeling to get the house to where you want it to be. Many people remodel their home because they just simply want to increase the value of their home so that they will have a good return on investment when they go to sell it. On the other hand, some people remodel simply because they want something new and exciting to make their home stand out.

One place to start when you are considering a remodel of your home is the bathroom. The size of the bathrooms and the amount of bathrooms in a home can be a big factor for potential homeowners as well as a factor on how much the home is worth. By adding a bathroom to a master suite or updating an existing bathroom, you can increase the value of your home as well as its appeal to potential homeowners. Besides the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the best rooms in the house to remodel. It gives a great return on investment if done properly and it also adds appeal to a house.

Bathroom remodeling can be as simple as painting the walls a new color and purchasing new decorators or it can be as complex as gutting the whole bathroom and starting from scratch. The first place to start when remodeling the bathroom is to take a look at the bathroom vanity. The bathroom vanity, which contains the sink, mirror, lighting and cabinets, is the main focal point when someone enters a bathroom. Because it is a main focal point, this is a great place to start remodeling project because it will give a completely different look to your bathroom.

To update the vanity you do not have to get a brand new sink and cabinets to make it look new. There are smaller updates you can do that will have your vanity looking new without the expensive cost of purchasing brand new materials. One way to make the vanity look new is by purchasing new hardware for the cabinets. The hardware on the cabinets are a large focal point on the vanity, therefore if they look old and rusted the rest of the bathroom will look old as well. Oil rubbed bronze cabinet hardware is a great way to get a new look as well as satin nickel cabinet pulls. It is important that you do not use these pieces together because it is important to make sure that all the hardware and fixtures match.

In addition to the cabinet hardware, another way to update the vanity is by installing new light fixtures. Lighting is an important element in any room and if done properly can add a whole new look and feel to any room. Bathroom lighting is particularly important on a vanity because you do not want to have to strain in order to see in the mirror. Recessed lighting as well as track lighting add a modern touch to the bathroom and are a great way to update any vanity.
