5 Reasons Why You Should Remodel Your Bathroom

A bathroom isn’t just a room in your home for showering and grooming. These days, bathrooms have become a sanctuary or escape, where people can go to relieve stress and relax after a long day. However, many homeowners are hesitant to remodel their bathrooms. A bathroom remodeling project can be expensive and stressful. It can be difficult to determine what areas in the bathroom you should focus your remodeling efforts on, how to improve bathroom functionality, and what type of remodeling would turn your outdated bathroom into the modern oasis you’ve always dreamed of. Learning why bathroom remodels are so important and what options are available can help you determine where to start and which professionals can help you change your outdated bathroom into the functional, beautiful, oasis you and your family need. 

1. Remodel to Suit Your Style/Improve Design & Aesthetics 

Knowing where to begin with a bathroom remodel can be challenging for most homeowners. However, working closely with an experienced professional who can create a design plan and remodeling strategy that works with your budget, and functionality and style needs, can help you create the bathroom you’ve always dreamed of. An outdated bathroom can impact how functional your bathroom is. It can also lower the value of your home. With some simple changes and updates, you can instantly modernize your bathroom and add value to your home, which is a huge plus if you plan on selling your home at some point in the future.

Additionally, a remodel will allow you to choose design elements that work with your personal preferences and style. During this time, you can explore new design elements, from shower doors and tile colors to fixtures and finishes that will work with your budget and personal preferences.

2. Increase Your Home's Value

When a potential home buyer looks at a house, the kitchen and the bathroom are often the rooms they will pay the most attention to. An outdated bathroom, one that lacks functionality, can be reason enough for the potential home buyer to choose one listing over another. A bathroom renovation will allow you to incorporate new, modern, and efficient bathroom products, such as a new shower head, a low-flow toilet, or a frameless glass shower door, which can make your home more appealing to potential buyers.

3. Create a Personal Escape 

Your bathroom should be a personal oasis, a place where you can relax and unwind after a long day at work. It should include comforts and features that improve your quality of life. Consider adding a new, more functional shower, custom mirrors and paint in neutral earth tones, and modern fixtures that can update the look of your bathroom, while including other important design elements that will have you looking forward to relaxing in your personal spa-like environment.

4. Energy Efficient Upgrades/Lower Utility Costs 

Most outdated bathrooms could use modern, water-saving devices. A bathroom renovation project is a good time to replace an old bathroom sink that leaks, add water-efficient toilets, and make other changes that can help decrease your monthly energy bill.

There are other ways you can improve your bathroom’s overall energy efficiency. Installing CFL or LED lights is an important bathroom update that can help you save on your monthly energy bill. Adding an energy-efficient ventilation fan is another good option.

5. Improved Safety 

A bathroom remodeling project can provide the safety features you and your family need. If you live with an elderly or disabled family member, stepping over a bathtub can be dangerous and difficult for them, putting them at risk of a fall. Updating your outdated bathtub and installing a frameless walk-in shower can make your bathroom safer while making it easier for your elderly or disabled family members to enjoy more independence. Adding grab bars and shower seats can also improve bathroom safety for you and your entire family.
