4 Bathroom Design Trends That Buyers Hate

4 Bathroom Design Trends That Buyers HateBathrooms are an essential part of any home, especially when it comes to buying and selling a home. They’re impossible to ignore and one of the first things buyers look at. Despite this, it’s simple for homeowners to forget how important these rooms are.

Bathroom decor can quickly go wrong. Little features look big when they’re packed into these small spaces, so minor things like shower curtains or how clean the window is can make a big difference.

On the other hand, homeowners are also able to take advantage of how powerful interior design can be in smaller spaces. A little effort goes a long way when looking to maximize the price of property or speed up a sale.

Homeowners can boost the benefits of their sale with these four tips on the most unappealing bathroom trends around.

1. Color Toilets and Sinks

Toilets and sinks in colors like rose pink or seafoam green were incredibly popular years ago, but they’re still loved by many people who enjoy a vintage look or just love bright spaces.

However, homeowners have a greater potential to make more money faster if they appeal to a wide range of buyers. Bathrooms decorated in a classic style are great looking to most people, making them more likely to put in an offer.

2. Peel and Paste Wall Paper

Modern peel and paste wall paper is a new trend that’s taken over many interior design websites and stores. It’s available in countless prints, colors and patterns and its popularity continues to grow.

Despite this, it’s difficult to find a style that’s sought after by the majority of buyers. Yellow polka dot cabinets may be hip, but it’s usually best for homeowners to decorate in neutral colors and traditional materials.

3. Carpet

Carpet is warm and feels great, but there are several drawbacks to decorating with this trend. Buyers know the potential hassle of wall-to-wall carpet, which may reduce the price of their offer or stop them from buying at all.

Buyers like stress-free flooring that’s difficult to stain, so homeowners should consider using easy-to-clean materials in their bathrooms.

4. Unusual Tile and Linoleum Flooring

Unusual tile colors and patterns can look outdated, while linoleum flooring can look inexpensive. Unfortunately, neither results are attractive to buyers. To get the most out of their property, homeowners should consider replacing the flooring with hardwood or a convincing laminate alternative.

It was awarded Best Master Planned Community in 2001, named one of Phoenix Magazine's Best Family Friendly Neighborhoods in 2012 and awarded Best Master Planned Community for Children in 2016. Anthem is home to residential, commercial, office, industrial and public uses, making it unique as a master planned community. From award-winning parks to quality landscaping, sports programs for all ages to trails, golf courses and more, Anthem is home to more than 27,000 residents and nearly 300 store-front businesses. Anthem is called a master planned community because it is self-contained and self-sustaining, allowing residents to share common resources and contribute to the common good of the community and region. Del Webb's design philosophy can be seen in every detail of Anthem's design plan, from the width of streets to the type of landscaping options, high number of recreational amenities to pre-set purposes of commercial plazas. After initial buildout, governance of the community was turned over to an executive staff and homeowner-led Board to carry Del Webb's master plan forward.
