Have you ever toured a new model home and then had the opportunity to view a standard home in the same development? It’s a little disappointing, isn’t it? There’s quite a difference between the two houses, even through they may share the exact same floor plan. If you want to get that model home look and feel without paying the entire premium, one of the most effective methods is to upgrade the bathroom and kitchen fixtures.

Start with the bathrooms and powder rooms. The mass market, builder-grade toilets that typically come as standard fixtures are cheap and they look it. Quality brands, like Toto toilets, add a much more polished look to the room. Instead of one style and the choice of white or off-white in your standard builder’s offering, there are dozens of different styles and multiple color choices, as well as advanced water conservation features. These are well-built fixtures, not throwaways built to last for only a few years. While you’re at it, throw away the plastic mirror and pressboard vanity and replace them with a stylish offering from Fairmont designs. You can assemble a coordinated vanity, mirror, medicine cabinet and even storage cabinets in various wood finishes and styles, including Shaker, Cottage and Town & Country. With a small investment in fixtures and cabinetry, your bathroom will have the upscale look and feel of a model home.

The kitchen is another prime example of where a few upgrades can go a long way. Replacing the standard fixtures here can make your home look better, help increase its value and make your meal preparation and clean up more efficient. Franke sinks come in a wide range of styles including traditional stainless steel models and even trendy fireclay sinks. The sinks are available in various shapes and sizes, ranging right up to professional grade offerings that wouldn’t look out of place in an upscale restaurant. This company also offers attractive, functional and durable kitchen faucets, including culinary series models. If you’re considering replacing your kitchen sink but would like other options, blanco sinks are well worth considering as well. This company offers some extremely attractive designer sinks in fashionable colors (including anthracite and brown) and finishes including stainless steel and silgranit.

Remember, a few changes is all it takes to get the model home look.
