Besides decking the halls in festive décor, you’ll need to make some practical considerations when preparing your home for the holidays, especially if you’re having guests stay over. For example, remodeling the bathroom can enhance your guests’ experience. This can include deep tile and grout cleaning and installing new shower doors and mirrors. Here are four reasons to consider this home improvement project.

Why Remodel Your Bathroom This Season?

1. Address Stains 

Over time, soap scum and hard water can stain shower doors and mirrors, making them appear dirty, even with routine cleaning. Glass can also eventually become discolored, giving it a dingy appearance. Replacing old glass can make your space look cleaner and more visually appealing. 

2. Improve Aesthetics

Even if there aren’t significant structural issues, sometimes upgrading the bathroom is worthwhile to revamp an outdated aesthetic. For example, replacing a traditional curtain-style shower setup with glass surroundings can modernize the space and make it seem bigger by not putting up a barrier in the middle of the room. Having a lot of reflective surfaces also helps naturally brighten the space.

3. Improve Safety & Comfort 

Cracked or chipped mirrors and shower doors are not only unsightly but can pose safety hazards. Replacing damaged glass eliminates the risk that guests will cut themselves on sharp edges and fissures.

Bathroom remodeling also offers an opportunity to replace a standard shower with a walk-in model. Due to slippery surfaces, bathrooms can be challenging for guests with mobility restrictions, and slips and falls frequently occur here. Curbless showers eliminate the need to step over a ledge to enter, enhancing accessibility and safety for elderly guests and others with limitations.  

4. Enhance Convenience

Sharing the bathroom is one of the biggest challenges of having a full house for the holidays. If you have room, consider remodeling a half-bath into a ¾ or full bathroom by adding a shower for guests to use. Alternatively, you could add a shower and toilet in an underutilized area, like the basement.
