Improve relaxation and comfort – these days we want to maximise all of our time so that any break we get, even if it’s just a morning shower, is as relaxing as possible. A zen bathroom break can go a long way to enhancing your overall relaxation mode. In addition, a modern bathroom really adds to the overall ‘luxury’ feel to a property, offering a further sense of general comfort and satisfaction in a home.

Improve your sustainability and energy efficiency – consider updating your appliances during a renovation to make your bathrooms more energy efficient; swap the lights to LEDs (they use 75% less energy), swap your flush mechanism to a more environmentally friendly one (low flow, dual flush, pressure-assist). These changes will also lead to a cheaper electricity bill, as well as being good for the planet.

Increase property value – according to research, a renovated bathroom can increase your property value by around 60%; the more modern the look, the more sought-after your property. According to Big Bathroom inspiration, 80% of people in their poll said that they would pay more for a home with a modern bathroom. Bathroom renovations come second only to new kitchen installations in terms of return on investment, sometimes even topping the polls.

Improve rentability of your property – in the last two or so years a modern bathroom has quickly become one of the most frequently requested items on a rental guest wish list when searching for their holiday rental home.

Improve functionality and flow – make more space and place appliances and fixtures exactly where you want them.

Improve storage space – if you want to include modern units with drawers or small cupboards, or inset wall designs for bathroom products.
