Although every major remodeling project comes with a few headaches—no one wants to live in a construction zone, after all—upgrading the bathroom is well worth the effort. Excluding the kitchen and bedroom, this is the room you spend the most time in, and plumbers can attest that people often overestimate just how long its appliances should last. Here are some of the biggest signs that your bathroom is due for renovations. 

3 Signs Your Bathroom Is Outdated 

1. The Toilet Is More Than 30 Years Old 

Unless your toilet is chipped, cracked, or stained, it’s easy to overlook its age. If it was installed before 1992, though, it might be using nearly twice as much water per flush than necessary. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 limited water usage per flush to 1.6 gallons. Toilets installed before then may use as much as 3 gallons per flush. Not only does this contribute to higher utility bills, but it also essentially cancels out any sustainability efforts regarding your other appliances. 

2. The Vanity Is Always Cluttered 

Are you tired of toiletries taking over the bathroom’s cabinets and countertops? If the vanity is always overflowing—even after paring down your toiletries to only the essentials—you need more storage space. A plumber who specializes in remodeling can help you design a new arrangement that includes a lot more room for your family’s things.

3. The Design Is Downright Atrocious

If the bathroom includes shag carpeting, puce tile, or faded wallpaper—or all the above—it’s due for remodeling. While it’s easy to put off major projects that are purely cosmetic, upgrading the biggest eyesores will improve your daily life immensely. You spend a lot of time in the bathroom everyday; why not make it a sanctuary of sorts?
