A bathroom remodeling project is among the most common remodeling projects completed in a residence. Updating a bathroom is second only to a kitchen remodel.
Many homeowners will wait to remodel their bathroom until they are preparing to sell their current home and move. However there are a lot of reasons to update a bathroom besides selling your home. A bathroom remodeling project is not only done for aesthetic reasons but it can also allow you to age in place in your current home or meet the needs of a growing family. A bathroom remodel can also make your home more efficient and reduce water usage.
Aging in Place
When you are living in your forever home there comes a time when you have to consider the accessibility of your bathroom spaces to accommodate the natural aging process. There is also the need to adjust bathroom access after an unexpected injury.
Considerations such as a non-slip floor, wheelchair accessible spaces, walk in tub and borderless showers can all help homeowners age in place.
Get a Larger Bathroom Without Moving Walls
Opening walls and building new space to add on an additional bathroom is one option. However there is also a lot you can do with your existing bathroom space to make it feel bigger.
When you start to plan your bathroom remodeling project you will want to consider your goals for the space. If a bigger space is what you are hoping for, your designer may suggest a variety of options that would achieve that goal
- Remove the bathtub or shower and have just one in the bathroom
- Rearrange the shower and toilet for the optimal use of space
- Opt to install a shower or sink with a smaller footprint
- Find creative storage rather than a full size linen closet
Strategic adjustments to the bathroom space you currently have can allow you to stay comfortably in the space, rather than moving or adding on.
