Why Renovating Your Bathroom In Winter Is Such A Great Idea

1. Why Renovating Your Bathroom In Winter Is Such A Great Idea

2. For some, the thought of a long, cold winter makes them want to simply batten down the hatches and await the arrival of spring. However, contrary to what many believe to be the case, winter is a great season for home renovations. If your bathroom is in need of an upgrade, here are a few reasons why you should plan a renovation during winter: You can start increasing your energy efficiency The average household spends a lot more on heating and lighting during the darker, colder months of the year, and by renovating your bathroom in winter, you can start making some significant energy savings throughout these months, with the installation of such features as LED lighting and low-flow taps.

3. Your home could be ready to sell when spring arrives If you’re renovating your bathroom with the intent of making your home more sellable and increasing its value, doing so in winter could mean that by the time the spring flowers are beginning to bloom, your home could be ready to sell. Not only do many people wait until spring to renovate their homes, meaning you could beat the rush when searching for a contractor, but fewer people search for a new home during the winter months. This means that when the warmer weather comes, your newly renovated home could get first pick of the buyers.

4. It’s the ideal time for interior work While it’s true that winter might not be the best time of year for having any external renovations carried out due to the inclement weather, it’s the perfect time of year for internal renovations, since no part of the space is exposed to external elements.

5. Now that you may be considering renovating your bathroom in winter, here are a few ideas for keeping the space cosy and warm as the mercury drops: Heated towel rails ● These aren’t just incredibly useful as space-saving devices in smaller bathrooms, but they are actually an energy-efficient way of heating the space while keeping your towels toasty warm!

6. Under-floor heating ● The ultimate in luxury, under-floor heating is a simple addition to any bathroom renovation in which the floor is likely to be ripped out and replaced. With heat rising, having heating beneath your feet is an economical way of keeping the space warm while ensuring that you never get frostbite while stepping out of the shower or tub on a chilly winter morning!

7. Warm colors ● Even with heated towel rails and underfloor heating, a bathroom can still feel a little cold and unwelcoming in winter. With carefully chosen paint colors however, you can help create the illusion of warmth and comfort. Avoid cooler colors such as emerald green, icy blue, light grey and white, and instead opt for warmer colors such as caramel brown, yellow and warm grey.

8. Splurge on luxury towels and bath mats ● It might seem too simple to be effective, but by splashing out (pardon the pun!) on ultra-plush and fluffy towels and bath mats, you can instantly feel warmer after a bath or shower. Why not beat the spring rush and have your bathroom renovated this winter? But hurry before local renovation companies get booked up; you may not be the only one having this epiphany!
