Sometimes it doesn't take a major problem to know it's time for a revamp. Sometimes it's just a feeling. A creeper, not explosive. Like when your house starts to feel smaller even though the square footage are the same. Or when you always clip your hip on the same sharp edge. Same spot, different day.

That's usually how remodeling starts. Not always with a design file. Just something off. A layout that doesn't work. A bedroom that used to be “fine” but now feels like it's suffocating. You stare at the walls and start cataloguing what could be different. Then you try to shrug it off. Then you make a list.

People assume renovation is about aesthetic choices. About feature walls and trendy lighting. And yeah, that part comes in eventually.

And hey, if your taps stop leaking, that's a pretty good start too.
