Industry Trends: Why Homeowners Are Renovating Their Bathrooms

It’s important to do your research before starting a bathroom remodeling project. Aside from being up-to-date with the latest design trends, it’s a good idea to understand other homeowners’ motivations for renovating their bathrooms, which can help you define your own bathroom remodeling goals.

Beyond Functionality

You wouldn’t be wrong to assume that most homeowners renovate their bathrooms because they want to improve functionality. Despite being one of the most-used rooms in a home, the bathroom is usually the smallest. But according to a study carried out by Houzz, functionality is just one of many reasons why homeowners remodel their bathrooms:

35% of the homeowners surveyed decided to renovate their bathroom because they’ve always wanted to but didn’t have the means until now.
32% remodeled their bathroom because they couldn’t stand the old design and layout.
29% renovated their bathroom after it started to deteriorate.
25% started bathroom renovation projects to personalize the house they just bought.
11% remodeled their bathroom after being inspired to make a few changes.

In-Demand Bathroom Features

What were the changes respondents made to their bathroom? A small bathroom wasn’t necessarily a deal-breaker for homeowners who took part in the study, but a small shower was likely to be expanded. New mirrors were quite popular as well, with three in four homeowners asking their bathroom remodeler to upgrade the mirrors in their bathrooms during renovations.
