How can you tell if it’s time for a bathroom remodel? It’s as easy as answering a few questions.
Do You Have Kids?
Despite being one of the most frequently used rooms in your home, your bathroom doesn’t usually have a lot of floor space. While bathroom floor space might not seem like an issue now, it will be when your kids grow up.
Do Your Parents Live With You?
A large bathroom with non-slip flooring is a necessity if you have toddlers or seniors living with you. That’s because slippery flooring is a significant safety risk for Americans aged 65 and above (as well as curious, fast-moving toddlers). Sccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of four older Americans suffers injuries from a fall every year. You can reduce risks by upgrading to non-slip bathroom flooring.
How Do You Feel About Cleaning?
Damp bathrooms are the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, which are notoriously hard to remove. No amount of scrubbing will remove mold and mildew growing in cracked or chipped tiles—you’ll need to use a commercial cleaning solution. If mold keeps coming back, either your tiles need to be replaced or your bathroom needs better ventilation.
Does Your Bathroom Design Look Dated?
To create a relaxing, spa-like bathroom atmosphere, you can replace chipped tiles with sleek stone tiles. If you want a bit more contrast, we recommend porcelain tiles, which can add a sense of sophistication to any bathroom. As for your bathroom’s color scheme, it’s best to include cool colors and neutral tones in the color palette. This will soften warm colors and bridge shades and tones on opposite ends of the color spectrum. Keep in mind that coordinating colors can be tricky, which is why it’s best to consult a DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen designer about bathroom design.
Are There Bathroom Fixtures You Always (or Never) Use?
If there are any bathroom features that you rarely use, we recommend replacing them with something more functional. For instance, if you have a tub/shower combo but rarely take baths, why not convert it into a shower stall? Remember: in the bathroom, every inch of space counts.
Are There Features You Want to Add to Your Bathroom?
Need more storage space? Wish the atmosphere in your bathroom was more luxurious? A bathroom remodel is the perfect opportunity to make your wish list of bathroom features a reality. Can’t decide on which features to prioritize? You can consult a bathroom remodeler at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen.
