If you’re planning to remodel, the first project you’re probably going to begin with is your bathroom. This is the most requested remodeling job, according to a National Association of Home Builders survey, and accounts for 78% of all renovations.
When surveyed by Houzz, 60% of homeowners stated they planned to have their master bathroom remodeled. When it comes to choosing between luxurious bathtubs or glass shower enclosures, however, showers were the preferred choice for 79% of the participating homeowners.
Using floor-to-ceiling mosaic tiles can be an excellent choice for a shower enclosure wall. The colorful glass tile colors can provide a a basic palate for the entire bathroom or serve as an accent feature. Some of these colors can be further enhanced with wall paint, vanity countertops, and accessories.
Are you thinking about a single colored tiled for your sink area, or are you considering a variety of ornate backsplash designs? To provide continuity, you could use the same colors and patterns as your shower wall tile.
You have probably noticed that tile comes in different strengths. This is referred to as the PEI rating, which indicates the amount of wear and tear that the tiles can withstand. Bathroom walls and floors, for example, should use PEI class 2 tile. Countertops and floors, however, should use PEI class 3 tile.
Subway tiles are popular for both bathroom walls and floors. Since these tiles come in different sizes and colors, they are a versatile choice for the bathroom and other areas of your home, such as the kitchen.
If you’re remodeling your bathroom to prepare it for sale, then you’re probably aware that this can bring you a good return on your investment. Furthermore, when you add on a second or third bathroom, this return on investment may be as high as 86.4%.
After your bathroom remodels are complete, you may want to consider remodeling the kitchen. Even a minor kitchen remodel, such as new countertops complete with backsplash designs, can bring you an average return on investment of 82.7%. If you decide to totally renovate your kitchen, this, too, can bring you a substantial return.
