Does stepping into your bathroom feel like you’ve taken a leap back in time? Have the pipes gotten faulty over time? Instead of the time you could have spent relaxing with a glass of wine and a book in a warm bath, have you been forced to take quick cold showers because the hot water is no longer running?

Here are all the signs your bathroom may be in need of an upgrade:

  • Bad Lighting

Studies have found that lighting can boost mood and self-confidence. Bad lighting can not only affect your moods but can also affect the way you look at yourself, thus having an effect on your self-esteem.

If your bathroom is looking too dingy or too dark, it might be time to consider getting new light fixtures.

  • You need more space

You may need—or just want—a bigger bathroom because you don’t want to keep bumping into things while doing your business and a bathroom remodeling could give you more room in a limited amount of space.

  • The plumbing is faulty

The floor or walls may have started becoming constantly damp, no matter how many times you dry them. This is a sure sign that there may be a leakage somewhere and this should be resolved promptly before it causes more damage.

  • The flooring has worn out

Another sign your bathroom needs an upgrade is when the tiling has started to chip and wear out over years of use. This can damage the infrastructure of the house when water starts seeping through them so it is important to fix this as soon as possible.

  • The paint has started chipping

Over years of use and water damage, paint in bathrooms starts to fade or chip away, resulting in a messy and untidy look to your bathroom.

  • Not enough storage space

As the years go by, your family increases and your needs change, you may find that you now require far more storage space than you previously did. Remodeling your bathroom to be more storage effective could help you organize better.

  • You want to be more energy efficient

With modern advancements, there are newer and better ways to manage the energy you consume in your houses. In old bathrooms, lighting and plumbing is generally less cost-effective. By upgrading your facilities, you are not only saving money and resources but also reduce your environmental footprint.

  • Water or other damage

One of the most common reasons for a bathroom remodeling is apparent damage like flooding due to faulty plumbing or a cracked sink from the time you dropped your curler on it – hard. These can get you expensive bills if left unfixed in the long run.

  • Mold

Faulty pipes, seepage, and water getting trapped in cracks in sinks, bathtubs and walls can leave you with a nasty mold problem that is sure to put a dent in your pocket.
