Need to know if it’s time to start thinking about upgrading your bathroom? Learn the signs below!
 

Reasons You Should Remodel Your Bathroom

Breaks and Leaks
Bathrooms are prone to daily wear and tear, but when you notice the tiles are cracking, faucets are leaking, and the ceiling is crumbling from moisture, these are all signs that your bathroom needs a facelift. Damages are aesthetically unpleasing andpose a safety hazard to you and your family. Most household accidents happen in the bathroom, so avoid taking a fall or inhaling mold and toxins by putting in the extra money for a remodel.
 
Outdated Color Schemes and Décor
Maybe your bathroom reflects the old owner’s taste, or maybe you bought your bathroom décor when you first moved in years ago. If you hate walking into your bathroom because of the old towel holders, faucets, lighting fixtures, or despise that hideous paint color you loved a few years ago, a bathroom remodel can help your space reflect the current you.
 
Poor Lighting
Getting ready in the morning is already enough of a task if you are not a morning person, and then add in some poor lighting for even more issues. Plenty of lighting (natural lighting is ideal) is important to the functionality of a bathroom. Having too little lighting can be solved with extra light fixtures or a lighted vanity mirror.If extra lighting does not cut it, contemplate a bigger transformation like installing more windows.
 
Changing Needs
As your family situation changes, your needs do too. Perhaps you’ve had a child, or your elderly parent finds it difficult to step in the tub – in either case, modifications must be made to adapt to your family dynamic. If your bathroom is not as well designed as it used to be, consider remodeling your space to make it more functional for your family’s needs.
 
Lack of Space and Storage
If your bathroom seems tight or like you have too much unused space, you may need to open the area up or remodel it to fit your storage needs. Adding more cabinets, bins, or a shelving system can help give you more storage.If that is not enough, a new layout or an expansion might do the trick. If you have more space than you need, consider closing the bathroom off and create a storage closet or a laundry room adjacent to the bathroom. Making use of your space can also be as luxurious as switching out a standing shower for a Jacuzzi tub or installing his and hers sinks!
 
Looking to Sell
If you have been putting a bathroom remodel off and think it is not worth it because you are planning on moving out, think again!The best time or reason to invest in a remodel is when you intend to sell because the slightest renovations will greatly impact the overall value and selling price of your home. Not only will you get to use your new bathroom and make use of your investment until you sell, but you will attract a lot more potential buyers if your bathrooms are updated.
