Create a Spa Bathroom to Increase the Value of Your Home

Posted by M.S. on June 22, 2009

Did you know for most people, their single largest investment is their home?

Would it surprise you to know the 2 areas that home buyers focus on most when searching for real estate are the kitchen and the master suite, which includes the master bedroom and the bathroom?

Don’t you think you have a better chance to sell or rent your home if you have a spa bathroomOf course you do!

Come along as I show you step by step how I recently achieved that spa feeling for very little money!

Creating the drama of a spa bathroom is simple when you use the same techniques that fancy resort spas and hotels use when furnishing their spaces.

Every elegant spa bathroom must have a beautiful bench beside the tub for holding a luxurious bathrobe or your pjs.  That’s a great place to start!

If you are going to have a spa bathroom, you simply must have candles and warm fluffy towels.  Add some dramatic candles in rich candlesticks to cast a warm romantic glow.  Place the fluffy towels right beside the tub to complete the look.

Green plants give that touch of nature and you are on your way to creating a peaceful oasis!  It is the details that really make the difference!

Not only is your fantastic spa bathroom a restful retreat, it will add to the value of your home since everyone loves a gorgeous bathroom!

Take a look at the frugal yet fabulous ways you can furnish your bathroom retreat!

I started with this dramatic 3-tiered rack that came from Ross Stores and was only $19.99.  Place on the corner of the tub for extra storage and load it up with all the goodies!

The height of the piece gives additional space, allowing you to add everything you might need!

The plants are from Michael’s at $2.99 a piece and the designer towels were purchased on closeout at one of my favorite stores, TJ Maxx for $3.99 each!

No spa bathroom would be complete without a terrific vanity with a comfortable seat! What a terrific addition to the space!

This upholstered bench looks totally custom but was actually found at  TJ Maxx, for only $24.99!  You can’t beat that!

This gorgeous wrought iron bench looks just like one I saw at the luxury store, Frontgate! But this one was only $19.99 at a local Ross Store.

You have to love that!

Give your bathroom a professionally decorated look by creating an elegant yet simple window treatment.

Simply drape a neutral length of fabric over elegant decorative brackets, and Voila! You are in business!

It’s  great to have a tiered shelf to hold all the supplies you would find in a spa bathroom.

This one was located at Ross Stores for only $39.99.

The wrought iron with wicker design adds texture to the space, something interior designers know adds to the luxury!

Look at the dramatic effect a little effort can give you on your largest appreciating asset– your home!

As you soak in the tub in your new spa bathroom, think of all the money you will make from your elegant bathroom makeover!
