Why January’s The Perfect Time For A Bathroom/Kitchen Remodel

Why January’s The Perfect Time For A Bathroom/Kitchen Remodel

Starting the new year right. New year! New you! Why not new bathroom or kitchen?

 Sales! The Winter Sales mean that you’ll get more bang for your buck if you choose to take advantage of the offers available. We've got a few on ourselves! If you’ve got to remodel something, it makes sense to leave the outdoorsy stuff for summer when it’s a little warmer for working outside. It can be a bit chilly for that kind of thing come January! If you’ve made a new bathroom or kitchen one of your resolutions, it’s probably best to get it done as soon as possible. We all know how it gets easier to put them off as the year wears on. A January remodelling leaves plenty of time to work out all issues to have it ready for some summer hosting – you wouldn’t want to put off having guests round because your bathroom looks like a building site!

 Statistically, people spend more time indoors over winter. Come summer you’ll be jetsetting off on holiday somewhere, so it follows that to get the most enjoyment out of your new bathroom or kitchen before the novelty wears off, a January remodelling is the most sensible choice.

 It doesn’t necessarily need to be a full remodelling, either. The feel of the room (or perhaps the lack of) might rest with a single item. If your otherwise perfect bathroom is held back by an unsightly basin or an ageing toilet, you could be enjoying that shiny new bathroom feel without having to remodel your entire bathroom.
