Whether you’re planning a whole-home remodel or just trying to decide which remodeling project to tackle first, it usually is a good idea to start with the most-used parts of your home. One of these is the bathroom. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Huntsville shares signs that indicate it’s time for a bathroom remodel.

Is your bathroom showing its age?

If your bathroom is showing signs of wear and tear, put it high on your remodeling priority list. Maybe you’re not the home’s first owner or maybe your tastes have changed. Bathroom remodeling is an opportunity to bring your bathroom up-to-date and fix issues such as cracked tile and water stains, all in one project.

Does your bathroom feel cramped?

If your bathroom feels cramped or awkward to use, your bathroom may need a new floor plan. One of the greatest benefits of a full bathroom remodel is you can create your new bathroom design from scratch, including relocating major fixtures like the bath and toilet. You can also extend the floor space if your plans allow taking out a wall.

Does your bathroom have plumbing problems?

Hidden leaks can be a major problem not just for the bathroom, but for the surrounding areas. Trapped moisture in the drywall can result in damaged insulation, framing and electrical lines. It can also encourage mold and mildew growth. A good plumbing system is the backbone of a good bathroom remodel, which is why every good remodeler will first address plumbing issues before anything else. A bathroom remodeling project is also an opportunity to address any plumbing mistakes made when the bathroom was last renovated.

Is your bathroom poorly lit?

Poor lighting can diminish your bathroom experience. A bathroom that’s too dark can also increase the risk of injury. Your bathroom remodeler can help you design a custom lighting plan that addresses your bathroom’s baseline lighting needs as well as natural lighting and specialty lighting that includes focus and mood lighting.

Are you running out of storage space?

Your bathroom may have had enough storage space at first but as your family grows, your bathroom storage requirements change. A good remodeling plan will incorporate smart storage ideas, furniture design and visual cues that help maximize storage space while avoiding a cramped look and feel.
