Bathroom renovation can be done for various reasons, ranging from practical and functional improvements to aesthetic enhancements. If you are having doubts regarding the necessity or your own personal reasons for remodeling your bathroom, below are some questions that you can ask to help you decide whether you should renovate your bathroom now or later.
Does Cleaning Your Bathroom Require a Lot of Time & Effort?
If cleaning the bathroom has become a difficult and time-consuming chore, you might want to look at the specific areas that take a lot of effort to clean. For example, if you have been scrubbing your grout lines and shower walls with a toothbrush, perhaps remodeling your bathroom will help you save time and effort.
Chipped or cracked tiles can make bathroom cleaning tough as well. These are usually great places for mold and mildew to grow. And since mold and mildew spread quickly, you may have to clean your bathroom more frequently. A remodel can be a long-term solution to this, so you might want to consider one soon.
Do You Have Safety Concerns?
Bathrooms are made up of hard, slick surfaces that often get wet, making them a high-risk area for slips and falls. Active toddlers and aging parents require more safety measures to avoid these hazards, but any member of your family can benefit from making your bathroom safer. If safety is a top concern for you, your bathroom remodel could focus on adding non-slip surfaces, sturdy safety bars and better lighting. Considering mobility and accessibility features like these can be a worthwhile investment for you.
What Are Your Plans for Your Home?
A minor bathroom remodel can certainly provide a decent ROI. If you plan on selling your home, this project can be a good move. Even with a lower ROI, a modern bathroom with a sensible design and practical features can sway potential homebuyers in your favor. If you don’t have plans to sell your home, you may still want to do a remodel. Consider how your life could change in three or five years. If you have young kids who are becoming more independent or teens who will be going off to college, the way you use your bathroom will likely change during such transitions. That said, your current bathroom may no longer be able to serve your needs or lifestyle.
