Renovation Do No. 2: Revamp your bathroom | Bedford Corners NY Homes

A toilet that looks old, cracked or dirty (or doesn’t flush properly) is a turn-off, and the same goes for a vanity, which should be eye-catching and practical. “Install a vanity that recesses into the wall, so it saves space,” advises Alen Moshkovich, a broker for Douglas Elliman in New York City.

Proper lighting can also be a great value booster, such as adding a window in the bathroom, so natural light can illuminate the space.

And homeowners tend to overlook one other simple fix: Reglazing a tub, rather than getting a new one, will save you money and upgrade the look of your bathroom.
