One of the areas to be remodeled in a home is the bathroom. A remodeled bathroom can provide more storage, better functionality, and increase the value of a home. New remodeling trends can be implemented to update and improve bathroom spaces. Style choices can include spa-like, chic, or modern looks. Whatever the style, a newly remodeled bathroom should produce many years of enjoyment for any homeowner.
When to Remodel a Bathroom
- Circumstances Change. As the years go by, priorities change for homeowners. Circumstances include expanding the family, children growing up, aging parents moving in, or retirement. Bathrooms can be remodeled to suit the different stages in life.
- Better Functionality and Storage. The need for more storage is always an issue, especially in older homes. With a bathroom remodel, creative cabinetry can be installed or a different layout could be designed to get additional storage space.
- Conserve Water. Half of the typical daily water usage comes from the toilet and shower. To help lower monthly water bills, install more efficient showerheads, faucets, and toilets. Check for Watersense-labeled products when choosing fixtures for a bathroom remodel.
- Increase Home Value. Bathroom remodels come with a favorable return. According to Remodeling 2019 cost vs value report, a bathroom remodel can generate a 50 to 60 percent return. A well-designed and functional bathroom is a good investment.
- Correct and Prevent Damage. Bathrooms are constantly exposed to moisture and humidity that may cause water damage, mold, and mildew. New materials can replace damaged areas. Some are also made to minimize required maintenance and cleaning.
5 Bathroom Remodeling Trends For 2020
Some of the latest trends in bathroom remodeling range from bold colors to open showers. Here are a few to consider for a new bathroom design.
- Standalone Tubs and Sinks. This design feature is seen in more bathrooms year after year. The color of the tub does not have to be white either. Standalone tubs come in different shapes and sizes to complement any style. Place one in the middle of the bathroom to be the main attraction.
- Bold Tile Patterns and Textures. Contrasting tile designs and textures are on the rise. The combination of matte and shiny tiles is one example of pairing differences to create a one-of-a-kind look.
- Unique Lighting. An easy way to upgrade a bathroom and change the mood is with new lighting. The right lighting can enhance the decor in a bathroom.
- Heated Bathroom Floors. Cold floors in the bathroom are no longer the case with heated floor technology. A thin panel can be installed under the floor and controlled by a thermostat and timer.
- Hidden Storage. Creative cabinetry, cubbies, or storage behind a door are all solutions for more storage. Hidden storage in a bathroom removes clutter and keeps the space looking neater.
