Planning some home renovations and wondering why you should renovate your bathroom? Our latest article covers 5 great reasons to renovation your bathroom!
A bathroom is perhaps one of the most functional parts of your home; what would you do without it? Therefore, it makes sense to invest your money into keeping it up to date and making it a space you’re proud of.
Most people start to look at renovating their bathroom when it reaches 10 years old, some even renovating toward the 20-year mark. Aside from updating purely to keep up with home design trends, renovating your bathroom is important for a number of reasons.
At Flat Hill, we love designing and renovating our clients dream bathrooms; whether it be to update the style or fix some internal issues. Therefore, we’re sharing our top reasons as to why you should renovate your bathroom.
Fix Those Faults:
It goes without saying that it’s important to fix any faults that you have in your bathroom to ensure that it’s both functional and safe to use. Overtime, many bathrooms experience water leaks, which can evidently lead to mold problems and rotting floors; definitely not something you want in your home. It’s important that if you’re noticing tiles starting to come loose or fixtures such as taps starting to leak, it’s time to consider renovating your bathroom.
Flat Hill can fix both obvious and any underlying issues to ensure your bathroom is good as new upon hand over.
Keep Up-to-date:
While everyone has their individual style and design preferences, there is something to be said about keeping your bathroom up to date. This doesn’t just mean following the latest trends, it means replacing those tiles that might be intact, but are starting to get some age on them. It means replacing the tap with the rust on it that’s bothered you for so long, even if it’s still functioning.
Giving your bathroom a facelift will do wonders for your mood and can either kickstart the renovating of your house or be the finishing touch on your ongoing home project.
Prioritise Safety:
As we all know, bathrooms can be a very slippery place thanks to the combination of water and tiles. Therefore, one of the most important reasons to renovate your bathroom is to make it a safer place to be, especially if you have small children or elderly parents living with you.
Some of the best ways to accident-proof your bathroom is to install wider doorways, slip resistant flooring and shower screens.
At Flat Hill, we can customise your bathroom design to include as many safety features as you like to suit your needs and lifestyle.
Storage:
It’s no surprise that any bathroom space needs to have ample amounts of storage. However, some older bathrooms may not have prioritised storage space. At Flat Hill, we specialise in not only creating beautiful bathroom designs, but creating generous storage solutions to house your all-important beauty and bathing products. One of our favorite additions to any bathroom is a mirrored, wall mounted medicine cabinet. This design choice is chic and provides a double bonus of a mirror and storage space at eye level.
Resale Value:
Even if you’re not planning on selling your home, it’s always important to be prepared to put your house on the market in case your plans change. Part of preparing your home for sale means updating it to increase the resale value of your home, and the number one room that makes a difference is your bathroom.
In fact, homes with renovated or modern bathrooms tend to sell at a much higher price than homes with older bathrooms. Flat Hill can work with you to prepare your home for resale with a freshly renovated bathroom that matches the aesthetic of your home.
