January is the best time to redecorate your bathroom

I know you don’t want to risk losing precious hot water in January, but it’s actually the best time to redecorate your bathroom.

I know, you think I’m crazy. Redoing your bathroom in January when it’s freezing cold?! But there are actually some very good reasons for renovating in Jan. New year, new you and all that (worst saying in the world).

 

Get bargains in the sales

Obviously one of the most important reasons that January is a great time to redecorate your bathroom is the sales.

The January sales are way better than any bank holiday offers that you might come across later in the year because they cover all type of products. That means that it’s not only bathroom suites and paints that are discounted, but you could also get some huge savings on towels, shower curtains, and even made-to-measure blinds.

All you need to do is go online and take a look at some of the things on offer. The more you save, the closer you get to having your dream bathroom without clearing out your bank account.

 

You’ve joined the gym anyway

January is a great time to redecorate your bathroom because it’s the time of year you’re most likely to have joined a gym. Bear with me here. There is some logic here, I promise!

If you’re having your bathroom done, it probably means it’ll be out of use for days at a time. This means showering elsewhere. Where better to do this than at the gym after your workout? You won’t even have to pay extra for a gym membership as, like everyone else in the country, you’ll have signed up to get rid of the Christmas excess anyway!

 

No guests to worry about

January is also a great month to do any bathroom renovations because everyone has returned to their own homes after Christmas. You’re done with entertaining tonnes of neighbours and family members.

That means there will be no guests to disrupt the household and you can get on with ripping your bathroom out, putting the new one in, and not worrying that it’ll add to your household stresses.

 

No going out saves money and time

You have to remember that January is usually a fairly boring and uneventful month. Everyone’s recovering from Christmas so there’s not much going on. That means any money you save on going out can be put towards the discounted cost of redecorating your bathroom space.

 

We saved a huge amount on our bathroom when we bought it in the January sales. Wickes were offering a huge 50% off, so we were able to get the best electric shower, the waterfall taps we wanted and a ridiculously huge sink unit that we wouldn’t have been able to afford otherwise.

  1. I’m looking to redo the bathroom as it is really old granny style, i have ugly peachy marble tiles which beside the bath are full of mould, i want to achieve either a modern or spa look. i also want panels beside the bath and i want to change the ugly sides of my bath. New taps, better décor and better way of storage! It’s a tiny bathroom though. Any Advice?

    1. If you can, keep the suite and decorate everything around it! New tiles, you could even tile the bath in so it doesn’t have panels? I’ll never regret a vanity sink as there’s so much room for storage in those. Changing taps and regrouting makes a huge difference on its own.
