Imagine for a moment you have an unexpected friend dropping by, and they ask to use your bathroom. Do you feel as though you’re happy about your space, or are you dreading what they might think? This is just one reason people want a bathroom makeover, and this is the most obvious reason. But in reality, there are many ways to tell if your bathroom needs a new lease on life. To find out, read below.
It Feels Outdated
If your bathroom is still stuck in the 1970’s it’s time to get it into this century. Not only are the fixtures outdated, but the toilet is likely to be wasteful with water, the showerhead probably leaks, and if you have a bathtub, likely, it’s likely not in good working condition. If you feel as though your bathroom needs modernising, you should consider a renovation with energy savings included.
Different Circumstances
Whether your family is growing, the kids are leaving the nest, or elderly people are staying with you, these are all reasons to consider a renovation. After all, your bathroom is a highly functional space, so if you need to change it to adapt to your life, it’s best to get it done sooner rather than later.
You Just Aren’t Happy
This is what we alluded to in the introduction. Your home is your sanctuary, you should make sure you love it. If your bathroom is annoying you, or it’s no longer functional, or the pipes are leaking. It’s time to change it. Remember that your home is a long-term investment, so it’s okay to change things to increase the value of the investment while also making it easier to live in the long term. But more on that is below.
It’s Time To Move
If you’re considering putting your home on the market, you need to look at your home impartially. What does your bathroom look like to a buyer? Remember that buyers these days are looking for things such as energy conservation, and an interesting and functional look and will often buy a home based on its bathroom and kitchen as these are some of the most used aspects of the space, and the most expensive to renovate. If you want to be competitive in the market, consider a renovation.
It Doesn’t Fit You
This may be niche, but if your bathroom isn’t working for you and your needs, it may need a few small changes to improve it. Maybe the lighting is fine, but there isn’t enough storage, or the tub is perfect, but the shower is too big and is wasting space. No matter what it is you can personalise the space to make it more functional to you.
