The bathroom is one of the most popular rooms to renovate in a home renovation project. Bathrooms are frequently used and are an integral part of the home. It’s no secret that renovating your bathroom can give you the biggest home improvement impact and bang for your buck. As your home ages, your bathroom interior might become outdated, damaged, or no longer functional for modern day living. This blog post will explore the top 5 reasons to renovate your bathroom.
Over time, you may notice problems with the design and functionality of your bathroom. The wall paint and the tiles may be mouldy, and you may see cabinetry warped out of shape, which could be caused by poor ventilation that needs to be addressed. Older bathrooms can have traces of water damage, broken fixtures, rundown surfaces, leaky plumbing, or have slippery bathroom floor tiles. Any of these defects can make the room uncomfortable and cumbersome to use. These common problems not only affect the aesthetics, but more importantly can also affect the safety of a bathroom. Therefore, a bathroom renovation is necessary to address these issues and fix safety concerns.
Even a large bathroom can make you feel cramped because it is not optimised for storage. Lack of storage for shampoo, towels, toilet paper or other everyday items such as hair dryers and skin care products will make the bathroom cluttered because everything will be scattered on the sink or vanity benchtop. Plus, if you’re thrifty, you may like to buy in bulk, and stock up on bathroom essentials like toothpaste, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer when they are on sale. Then, you will need storage to keep these products in the bathroom for convenience. A vanity with a few drawers will give you plenty of room for your daily bathroom essentials. Or a towel ladder will keep your towel dry and organised instead of placing it on the bench top.
The bathroom's storage capacity will allow you to organise your belongings easily and save cleaning time, helping you keep the bathroom clean and tidy. Moreover, it also ensures your bathroom is looking it’s best.
One way to make your house a home is to add your own personality to the interior design, this makes renovating your bathroom appealing as you can add the latest style to create a home you are proud to own, and comfortable to let your guests use. The bathroom design of many years ago may have become outdated by today's design standards, making it the perfect time to refresh and update the style. In some cases, new owners may want to remodel their bathroom's design because the previous owner has designed their existing bathroom, which does not suit their needs and style.
With the vigorous development of technology, smart devices have become more and more popular in improving enjoyment & quality of life. With a renovation project, you can increase ergonomics and add technology to upgrade your bathroom with smart and modern appliances. For example, a smart toilet can improve sanitation with auto flushing, increase safety with a nightlights feature, and bring a sense of comfort with seat temperature control. A led mirror will keep your mirror shiny with an anti-fog element. In addition, many people want to update new functions for their changing needs. For instance, some want to add a bathtub to have a place to retreat after work or upgrade a double sink because they want to organise things in separate areas, such as one space for shaving and another for makeup and skin care.
Selling a property is a big decision for anyone. To prepare a home for sale, many homeowners tend to renovate the house to appeal to the buyer and increase equity. The bathroom is frequently used in every home, so it is one of the critical criteria buyers consider when deciding to buy a property. A home with quality and modern bathrooms will help your home stand out from the competition, increasing your home value and attracting more bidders.
Regardless of the reason for your renovation, always remember to prepare a thorough renovation plan to keep the project on time and on budget.
