Hello again and welcome. More and more first time home owners have been spending big on sprucing up their bathrooms. It began during the pandemic and is still ongoing. According to Houzz The national median spend for bathroom renovations jumped nearly 13% year over year to $9,000. It seems first time home owners are doubling down on their bathroom investments.

No longer seen as just bathrooms, these private sanctuaries, tops the list of items to update and renovate. Statement vanities and showers are the new focal point. 59% of home owners upgraded their ventilation system when renovating their bathroom while 14% upgraded to radiant heating, and 9% added a tankless water heater. With regards to color, white is still the color of choice for bathrooms.

Looking for something to add to the aesthetics of your private sanctuary while creating a calming environment? Try greenery. Not only do they beautify and create a calming environment, but additional benefits includes, air purification, odor-fighting ability and antibacterial attributes.

You may be one of the two in five first time home owners to add high-tech features to your toilet? Bidets, self-cleaning elements, built-in night lights and heated seats (yes, it is a thing) are just a few of the options available. Money well spend! I have said it before. Most likely will say it again. Moving on, according to House Method, mid-range bathroom remodeling projects have an average ROI rate of 70%, while upscale renovations fetch 60%. Let the hammering begin!
