Three Benefits of Remodelling Your Cottage Bathroom and Giving it a Fresh Design
If you are considering a remodelling your cottage bathroom, there is a good chance you are focussed on the tile colour, or have grown tired of those old sink fixtures that severely date the room. Although getting a look you love is definitely a priority during a bathroom remodelling, there are other advantages to sprucing up your bathroom that you may not have considered. If you are weighing up whether or not to remodel your bathroom, consider these benefits that might just make the decision on your behalf.
Lower Utility Costs
Who does not want to minimise their reliance on Eskom and enjoy greater energy independence? Environmentally conscious homeowners may be excited to know their new bathrooms could become far more efficient than their old spaces when performing a much-needed upgrade. Technology has progressed such that low-flow taps, showers, and toilets can help to save large amounts of water over their less thrifty predecessors. They do this without sacrificing on performance. You could also save on utility costs by getting a smarter, more modern geyser, and installing eco-friendly CFL or LED bulbs that consume a fraction of the electricity that incandescent bulbs do. These can noticeably reduce you water and electricity bill.
Better Health and Wellbeing
If you have an old bathroom, you may be surprised at the amount of mildew and mould lurking in the fixtures and behind your cabinets and vanity. Even if you remain diligent about cleaning, the nature of the moisture-laden bathroom environment encourages easy growth of mildew and mould, often where you cannot even see it. Removing and replacing old fixtures means you could also remove these irritants, while enjoying a cleaner and more hygienic bathroom.
Boost Your Home’s Value
The third benefit of a modern cottage bathroom design is that, regardless of what improvements you make to your bathroom, it will have a knock-on positive effect on your home’s equity. This is because it is one of the two most important rooms of the home – aside from the kitchen – and it adds significant value to the property.
