6 Advantages of a Modern Bathroom Renovation

Are your clients looking for a way to fall in love with their bathroom all over again? Or maybe they have been planning a modern bathroom renovation for some time. Either way, there’s no better time than today to get started!

Renovating a bathroom can seem daunting, but it’s a great step toward long-term enjoyment. Homeowners spend so much time in the bathroom – getting ready, showering, pampering, and grooming – and they need a space designed according to their wants and needs.

A renovation project also means addressing and repairing hidden or ignored problems. Old plumbing can be addressed and dingy toilets can be replaced with modern ones instead. So don’t undersell how life-changing it can be for your clients if they pursue their dream renovation project. A good bathroom renovation can actually improve the overall experience of a home, from the updated appliances and fixtures increasing the energy and water efficiency of the house to the new style and modern decor creating a relaxing and rejuvenating space for the homeowners.

Let’s help them get started by sharing these advantages of a modern bathroom renovation.

Address Current Plumbing Problems

Older bathrooms often have several elements that need to be repaired or replaced. From dripping taps to pipe leaks, these types of issues are often overlooked until they become bigger concerns. 

Pursuing a comprehensive renovation project where homeowners can essentially start from scratch is the best way to fix plumbing issues. Many people prefer to go the cheaper route and fix things rather than replace them. However, there are often not great repair options that can cohesively meld older fixtures and plumbing with newer materials. It’s not a one-to-one comparison: today’s repairs may not work perfectly for pipes that are 20, 50, or 100 years old.

When it comes to plumbing installations, don’t forget to recommend that your clients only employ the services of professional plumbers. While there may be cheaper options, their lack of experience may lead to additional problems in the immediate future. Hiring a compliant and regulated professional can help keep costs down in the long run and mitigate widespread damage from ill-fitting fixtures and plumbing installation.

However, a thorough renovation where you can essentially start from scratch provides an opportunity for success. And with the benefit of a flexible budget, you can tackle any and all repairs.

Always be sure to employ the services of a professional plumber for plumbing installations. The last thing you want is to create additional problems for the future. A compliant and regulated plumber will prevent headaches and confidently tackle repairs both big and small.

Increase Available Storage Space

One of the most common complaints of homeowners is that their bathrooms lack adequate storage. There’s never enough space for everyone’s accessories, toiletries, towels, and other belongings. The right modern bathroom design can easily accommodate and augment additional storage options.

Many owners install proportional bathroom vanities to increase their storage space. They may also install new cupboards and shelves. Specifically, a wall mounted vanity is often a staple in modern homes because of its sleek aesthetic and added storage options.

Not all storage solutions are created equal. Advise your clients to choose storage options that are convenient, easy to access, and safe for all residents.

For homes with children, enclosed cupboards work best. Clients who collect beauty products, makeup, and similar items will benefit from easy-access drawers and lots of compartments with various size options.

It’s also important to think about the ergonomics of the space when planning storage. Long, narrow bathrooms will need smaller or tall and narrow storage and vanity options, whereas spacious bathrooms would benefit from larger cabinetry and vanity space, and even some middle-of-the-room storage or bathtub accents.

Improve House and Resale Value

Are your clients searching for homebuyers? While the bathroom might not be the first item on potential buyers’ lists, it likely holds the key to a successful sale. Stylish and modern aesthetics are universally appealing and they increase usability at the same time.

As always, it’s critical to consider your unique circumstances. Renovating a bathroom in a 5-year-old home has less impact compared to a renovation project in a 30-year-old home. Newer properties might benefit more from smaller, decorative upgrades instead of a complete remodel or renovation.

Modernize Aesthetics and Decor

Are your clients tired of their current bathroom style? Modern decor such as brushed metal fixtures and monochrome subway floor tiles are consistently trendy. A sleek and sophisticated theme can easily be achieved with modern decor accents such as floor-to-ceiling mirrors, walk-in showers, and floating vanities.

Optimize Energy Efficiency

Out of all the rooms in a home, bathrooms offer one of the best opportunities to save on water and energy costs. Replacing current fixtures with water-efficient toilets, showerheads and faucets can improve both your utility bills and help save the environment.

Local water efficiency regulations should be taken into consideration. Let your clients know that they should research thoroughly so they can stay informed and avoid fines. With the right fittings and fixtures installed, clients can enjoy reduced energy consumption and water bill reductions.

Enhance Your Bathroom’s Usability and Spaciousness

The majority of successful bathroom renovations lead to increased space and ease of use. An updated layout can refresh the space while removing unnecessary features can make it easier to move around. 

Some of the most popular upgrades include double bathroom vanities so there is more storage space for homeowners with families. A double vanity is also the ideal choice for couples. Bathrooms with sectioned areas also allow for more privacy, if needed.
