Interior Architecture: Adding Value with an Extra Bathroom

Make space: Make money

Thinking of moving? It might be worth making a few minor improvements to increase the value of your home.

Thinking of buying? Don’t let a property’s lack of amenities put you off, adding an extra bathroom can be quick to do (weeks, not months) and with clever positioning, won’t eat up too much of your floor space.

Any small space can be converted into a wet or shower room

A second bathroom can add up to 16% to the value of a property, so it’s always worth considering. Try and go for bathrooms of equal size with separate toilets for rentals, and ideally no ensuite for multiple occupancy rentals. For family’s go for larger en suites (with plenty of storage) gone are the days of these being a shower add-on for a master bedroom, these are now technically the main bathrooms of a property. Family bathrooms should also be spacious and contain copious storage. Guest en suites and cloakrooms should be kept to a minimalist design. These need to be easy to keep clean.
