One of the best places to add value to your house is through a bathroom renovation. Buyers love walking into a bathroom and feeling as though it was rarely used or was recently updated. However, it can be easy to go overboard with the renovation and purchase things that don’t actually increase the return on your investment. When it comes to improving your bathroom’s value, there’s really only one choice you need to make: Upgrade to stone. Here’s what you need to know about using stone in your bathroom.

Why Does Stone Improve the Value of a Bathroom?
There are a few common materials that are used in the bathroom. They are wood, carpet, and stone. Because the bathroom sees a lot of moisture and pools of water, two of those materials aren’t the best choices for your bathroom.
Wood, for example, can start to peel away and warp as it absorbs water. You may notice that your flooring is starting to fall apart. Wooden countertops may also start to collect mold. Mold loves wood. It feeds off of it and starts to weaken it. As a result, the countertop can become delicate and break.
Carpet, on the other hand, easily soaks in water. While it isn’t as quick to deteriorate as wood, it can trap bacteria and mold easily. Vacuuming the carpet in your bathroom can only do so much.
The best solution is stone. It holds up well against water and can be easily sanitized to remove bacteria and mold.

Upscale the Appearance of Your Bathroom
Stone-like marble, granite, quartz, and similar materials can turn your moderate bathroom into a luxurious one. There’s a reason so many A-list celebrities and top officials use stonework in their bathroom. It looks timeless, holds up well over the years, and it appears more expensive.
Those who think there are only a few shades of color to work with in regards to stone are mistaken. Quartz and granite, especially, come in different colors and patterns that can add certain hues of color to your bathroom. Even marble has different shades of color to it.
When buyers walk into the bathroom, they’ll be stunned by the intricate stonework that exists there. It makes a lasting impression every time.
Even if you’re not ready to sell your home, you can enjoy your marble floors and countertops for several years. Impress your guests by investing in your bathroom the best way.

Stone Bathrooms are Sanitary
A lot of bacteria and germs dwell in the bathroom. Wood and carpet can easily soak them into its material. Stonework isn’t as easy to penetrate. This makes cleaning your bathroom easier than ever. A quick wipe down with some cleaner is all you need to completely sanitize your bathroom.
Besides faster, cleaning stonework is easier than attempting to clean wood and carpet. By being healthier, you’ll attract more people to your home. They’ll love that it doesn’t require as much as upkeep. You will, too.
