Additions are the most cost-effective bathroom upgrade to a one-bath home. However, given the expense or space requirements, it may not be realistic to spend the money or reallocate the space an addition requires.
If you have the space and budget, the addition will provide significant functionality and convenience. Consult with an architect or designer to get the look and features you want within your budget.
Remodeling a small bathroom may well be a better choice if an addition isn't feasible. The range of bathroom remodeling options is virtually limitless, and range from simple upgrades like installing new lighting and fans to a complete replacement of fixtures and finishes. By making the relatively modest investment of replacing a single sink with two, you can enhance not only the functionality of your home, but improve resale value as
- Can two people easily use the bathroom now?
- Do you use the tub regularly?
- Who is the bathroom for? Kids? Couples? Older folks?
- How does it relate to other rooms? Is the traffic flow good or poor?>
- Are there enough electrical outlets near the counter area? Are the existing outlets ground fault interrupted (GFI)?
- Is there adequate storage for personal grooming items, laundry hamper, towels, and bathroom cleaning supplies?
- Does it need two sinks?
- Is there enough counter space?
- Is the lighting good?
- Is there a fan for ventilation?
- Is the shower or tub big enough?
- Is there any water damage?
