Everything in the bathroom — the tiles, fixtures, bathroom cabinets, and accessories — reflects the owner's unique taste and preference. This room should be functional enough to allow you to complete your morning routine in a timely manner, yet beautiful enough to elevate your home’s elegance. Here are three telltale signs that it's time for a bathroom makeover. 

How to Tell It's Time to Update Your Bathroom

1. It's Not a Relaxing Room

Bathrooms are spaces where people prepare themselves in the morning before tackling the day. For many, it's also the place where they enjoy a good soak, unwind, and wash away the day's stresses. It's nearly impossible to stay comfortable in a room with stained tiles, a cracked sink, and damaged tubs. If your bathroom doesn't help you relax, consider planning an upgrade.

2. Broken or Ineffective Fixtures

If your tub is leaking or the bathroom cabinets aren't big enough to hold your bathroom essentials, you know it's time for a renovation. Fixtures that function properly can help you navigate the room more efficiently. It also allows you to easily reach the items you need.

3. Impersonal or Outdated Aesthetics

As one of the places in your house where you can enjoy solitude, the bathroom must reflect your personality. If the aesthetics match the previous owner's style but not yours, consider remodeling it. An outdated design is another issue. Older bathrooms often have awkwardly installed bathroom cabinets, mirrors, and sinks that are set too high or low. The bathtub may have also been installed next to the toilet, which made sense back when plumbing technology was less advanced. Today, these layout issues are inconvenient and unappealing, making them worthy of an upgrade.
