How To Remodel Your Bathroom To An Updated Style

Here in New York we’re enjoying the long days of summer — but the cooler days of fall are almost here, and you’ll soon have time to think about doing some home renovations. Why not start with your bathroom? Remodeling your bathroom is a great way to update and add value to your home while giving it a fresh new style.

Bathroom remodels, even the smallest upgrades, have a lot of advantages. Not only do renovations improve the functionality and style of your bathroom, they can also increase the value of your home.

Here are the top benefits of bathroom remodels:

1. Create a room for relaxation.

Take your bathroom from a boring, functional space to one that’s a place to relax. Replace your single shower head to one with multi-functions and a rain shower spray. Or replace your older bathtub with a deep tub that’s perfect for soaking. Professional contractors can easily and expertly ensure that your new shower or tub are installed accurately for both the right fit and plumbing.

2. Home value

Whether you’re considering selling your home now or in the future, remodeling the bathroom can significantly add to your home investment. Even just improving some of the aesthetics such as adding updated facets and new countertops can improve the resale value. If you’re not sure about what updates are right for your bathroom, consult with a Home Advisor contractor for advice.

3. Increase energy efficiency

Installing energy efficient fixtures, such as low-flow showers and toilets, is cost effective and can lower your energy bill. Or swap out older bathroom lights with newer energy efficient LED lighting. You’ll save money and reduce your footprint on the environment.

4. Add more bathroom space

Professional contractors can help you redesign your bathroom for more space. Add more storage space by installing new cabinets. Or swap out that huge vanity with one that’s more sleek and streamlined.

Bathroom remodels can be DIY for those small updates, such as repainting the walls or adding new cabinet hardware to get a new look. But if you’re planning on re-tiling, installing a new tub, or doing any other extensive work, it’s best to leave your remodel to a knowledgeable expert.
