As far as home improvements go, a bathroom renovation is definitely among the top three most sought-after projects. Bathrooms are an essential part of any home but when it comes to moving forward with a renovation, they often take a back seat. Today, our remodeling experts have five good reasons to start planning the bathroom of your dreams today.
Expansion
A lot of bathroom remodeling projects focus on upgrading fixtures and installing new add-ons. However, for homes with limited floor area, expanding the bathroom to accommodate additional features is a good choice. Consider transforming your half-bath into a full bathroom by adding a shower and a tub. Tub-to-shower conversions are common but it’s important to note that the reverse option is also available and, more importantly, affordable.
Going Green
Bathrooms represent the majority of a household’s water consumption, so it makes sense that homeowners want to install water-saving features during their next bathroom remodel. Dual-flush toilets can save thousands of gallons of water annually, while high-efficiency shower heads can help you cut back on water use without sacrificing performance.
Aging in Place
One of the biggest reasons homeowners contract bathroom remodelers is to make aging-in-place upgrades. Renovating your bathroom to create a safer environment for an aging family member is always a good idea. Simple features such as handrails and non-slip floors can go a long way to increasing safety.
Improving Functionality
Renovating your bathroom to meet the needs of a growing family can be a wonderful improvement. Consider adding a bathroom in an otherwise unused space in your home, such as the basement. This alone can save you time every morning.
Aesthetics
Finally, bathroom renovations can be done simply to upgrade the design and style of your current bath. Explore new ways to introduce ambient lighting while keeping the space private and cozy. Install a vanity mirror and additional counters for storage. Simple changes don’t have to be expensive, but they can certainly add value to your home.
