THE BATHROOM!

Bathroom remodels consistently rank near the top in terms of return on investment. The minimal improvements would include neutral and relaxing tones, water saving fixtures, updated surfaces and cabinetry. The next step up could include "spa" elements such as heated floors and towel racks, a deep soaking tub or a double showing with a combination of shower heads. Upgraded lighting and "mood" lighting are also good additions. Whether it's a powder room, the kids bathroom or the ensuite, upgraded washrooms pay back the investment to almost 80%.
