A bathroom remodel can help you create a stylish, functional space that you once again love.

Bathrooms are one of the most frequently used rooms in a home. In fact, the average person spends about 30 minutes a day in the bathroom, which adds up to approximately 416 days over a lifetime. From bathing to grooming and everything in between, it’s hard to imagine a day without making a trip to the bathroom. Since it is one of the most heavily trafficked rooms in a home, your bathroom should be a space you love rather than loathe. 

Have you been wondering whether or not it’s time to finally upgrade your bathroom? Here are five telltale signs it’s time for a bathroom remodel.  

  1. You’re preparing to sell your home.
    If you’re looking to take advantage of the current market and sell your home, you’ll want to ensure your bathroom looks its best. Outdated and damaged bathrooms are major turnoffs for potential buyers.
  2. Your lifestyle has changed.
    Our lifestyles are constantly changing, which means our home’s needs are as well. Have you recently expanded your family and need a bathroom with a tub to create a more child-friendly space? Are your teenagers constantly battling in the bathroom every morning as they get ready for school? Are you planning on aging in place and need to incorporate universal design into your bathroom? If you answered yes to any of these questions (or have recently had a significant lifestyle change), then it’s time for a bathroom remodel. 
  3. The décor is outdated.
    The 1970s called, and it wants its wood paneling back. If your bathroom décor unintentionally transports you to a different decade, then it’s time for an update. If you dislike your bathroom’s current style, whether it be the paint colors, cabinetry, or fixtures, you should also consider a remodel.

  4. It’s no longer functional.
    Is your bathroom too small to meet your needs? Do you lack storage? Is the layout ill-designed? As soon as your bathroom becomes dysfunctional for your family, you should pursue a remodel.   
  5. There’s damage.
    With such frequent use, over time, bathrooms can become damaged. Tiles chip, tubs crack, and water can cause mold. Not only is this damage aesthetically unappealing, but it can also create more significant issues if not adequately addressed. If you have any signs of damage to your bathroom, you should seek the help of a professional to discuss your bathroom remodeling options.
