A rental-property remodel done right

-

When it comes to upgrades and functional design, a rental property is often a space that is left on the back burner. Whether it is prepping for new tenants or simply giving a space a quick face-lift, these projects can sometimes become overwhelmi­ng. Following are easy installati­on ideas and simple tips to ensure that you have a fully functional bathroom with a beautiful design aesthetic.

BRING PURPOSE TO THE SINK

It doesn’t matter if the goal is to upgrade a bathroom or if one is starting from scratch. Assuring that the sink space is multifunct­ional is a crucial step. Replacing a faucet could seem daunting, but the Peerless Precept Single-Handle Bath Faucet makes this process a breeze. What’s great about it is, it saves both time and money as this faucet includes a Push Pop-Up Drain Assembly. Unlike other drain assemblies that require multiple parts (and purchases), this user-friendly accessory works seamlessly with the faucet itself and comes with all the necessary parts for easy installati­on.

By simply pushing down on the drain assembly’s head, a sink can be quickly filled with water for a variety of uses. One can create an at-home ice-water face dip for the ultimate self-care regimen, an emergency stain soak or even a bath for the little ones.

ESTABLISH A COMPLEMENT­ING LOOK WITH A UNIFIED FINISH

A bathroom can easily feel cluttered when it has too many elements and colors. A simple way to forgo this overwhelmi­ng feeling is by implementi­ng a uniform finish. One finish and style will not only lend clarity to a bathroom design but will also help deliver that polished and flawless look. For instance, for a bath space that has a black finish, small additions such as a black-rimmed mirror, a dark-stained stool or a charcoal vase will provide accents to the overall color scheme; the possibilit­ies are endless.

ADD MORE FUNCTIONAL­ITY

Rental-property bathrooms oftentimes deliver the bare minimum by providing only a basic toilet, a working faucet and a showerhead. For those looking to level up their rental shower experience without breaking the bank, an easy way is to install a multifunct­ional fixture beyond just a showerhead. The Peerless Precept Slide Bar With Hand Shower delivers just that. When added onto an existing showerhead, the device can operate on its own or also at the same time, creating an instant at-home spalike experience. Not to mention that the shower’s pause feature reduces water to a trickle, giving space for shaving and lathering — ideal for any guest shower.

When thinking through ways to transform a rental investment property, being efficient yet thoughtful is the way to go. Extensive restoratio­ns are a thing of the past when one can find easy-to-install and functional items that still deliver a beautiful design. From unifying the color scheme to implementi­ng new fixtures, even the slightest updates can make the biggest difference.
