Home renovations are on the rise, with spending for residential renovations predicted to increase by 6% each year. But while there are many types of home remodeling projects to choose from, not all are created equal in terms of value or usefulness.
Investing in bathroom remodeling can often be a wise choice — particularly when it’s part of your master bedroom. Not only can these kinds of home renovations come with an impressive return on investment, but they can also improve your overall quality of life. In today’s post, we’ll take a closer look at en suites and why you might consider adding this to your home remodeling list.
What is an En Suite, Anyway?
If you’ve ever gone house-hunting (or even watch home improvement shows on television), you’ve probably heard this term used before. But what does it actually mean?
An en suite refers to interconnected spaces — essentially, two rooms in one. These days, an en suite specifically pertains to bedrooms that have an attached bathroom. Usually, en suites are part of master bedrooms, but there are exceptions. The main requirement is that these bathrooms are private, meaning they’re inaccessible to others unless someone were to walk through the bedroom first. The majority of en suite bathrooms contain a shower, though some that are situated in smaller bedrooms may be only half-baths.
What Are the Benefits of Remodeling Your Home to Include an En Suite?
Now that you know a bit more about what an en suite is, you might be wondering why you might want to include one on your list of home renovations.
Undeniably, an en suite (especially one that’s situated in a master bedroom) can add considerable value to your home. It’s a feature that many future buyers will look for, so it will often be highlighted as part of real estate listings. Even if you don’t plan to sell your home any time soon, an en suite can provide immense resale value.
Of course, an en suite bathroom can also improve your life right now. You’ll gain privacy, convenience, and even safety with an en suite. You won’t have to share a bathroom with other members of your household, which can allow you to have space to yourself and may help you establish a less stressful routine. And because you won’t have to take more than a few steps to reach the bathroom, you can reduce the risk that you’ll become injured if you need to make a visit during the night. In the end, an en suite can make your life much easier and more enjoyable.
If you’ve been considering renovating your home, adding an en suite bathroom to your master bedroom can be a great way to add value to your home and to your life. For more information on how we can turn your remodeling dreams into a reality, please contact us today.
