When Should You Upgrade Your Bathroom?

There’s a reason why kitchens and master bathrooms sell homes: they’re the two rooms with unlimited potential for gorgeous, high-end fixtures and finishes.

When & How Often Should You Remodel Your Bathroom?

Bathrooms are crucial to your home for their functionality and as a reflection of your home’s value. This is why it’s ideal to remodel your master bathroom every 5-10 years.

While there are no restrictions on when a homeowner can begin a remodel, you can save yourself time and money if you plan your project strategically and consider that:

• Fall is the busiest time of year for renovations and remodels, as homeowners take time to prepare for the holiday season.
• Some materials can take longer to order; by planning ahead, you can avoid delays and frustration.

Master Bathroom Design Elements To Update

As the room where you begin and end each day, consider these aspects when planning your master bathroom upgrade:

Lighting

In a room like the master bath, where you may be waking up, winding down, or getting ready for the day, it’s important to have a variety of lighting types and fixtures to accommodate your needs, including:

• Task: Adequate lighting beside the mirror is crucial for tasks such as shaving, makeup application, and more. Consider placing wall sconces at eye level on each side of the mirror instead of lighting from above, which can cause unwelcome shadows.
• Accent: Accent lighting is perfect for highlighting architectural features or items such as artwork.
• Ambient: Overall lighting can be supplied by multiple recessed fixtures around the perimeter of the room. Be sure to include a dimmer switch to adjust the level according to your needs.
• Decorative: Consider adding a central fixture or chandelier for added character.
• Natural: Windows or skylights add a touch of nature and can help with ventilation.

Storage

Deep drawers, cabinetry, recessed shelving, medicine cabinets, open shelving, and more can house all your medicines, toiletries, and linens. With Meridian, you can customize your storage options as much as desired.

Flooring

Whether you opt for porcelain tile, ceramic tile, or natural stone, make sure the flooring you choose is non-slip, water-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. Radiant in-floor heating is a must for those cold Pennsylvania winter mornings.

Fixtures

With so many available options, you’ll need to ask yourself some important questions before you choose:

• Do I need a bathtub?
• Would I prefer individual vanities or a single vanity with dual sinks?
• Would I like a separate water closet?
• Is my master bathroom large enough to accommodate my fixtures, or do I need to add or borrow more space?

Efficiency

Save energy and natural resources by choosing low-flow water fixtures such as toilets and faucets. In-floor heating, new windows, upgraded lighting systems, and eco-friendly cabinets are also great “green” updates.
