Is your bathroom stuck in a time warp? If you're tired of that beige-on-beige palette, the cramped alcove tub, and the dim lighting, you’re probably not alone. For many Athens-Clarke County homes, the bathroom is the first place to look dated—and the first place where a smart renovation can really pay off.
At Smart Home Repair, we think your bathroom should be more than just a utility room; it should be a nice place to start and end your day. Here are some popular trends and what kind of ROI you might expect from a modern bathroom remodel.

Beyond enjoying a nicer space, a bathroom remodel is a decent ROI (Return on Investment) project. In the Athens real estate market, updated bathrooms help sell homes. Whether you’re in a historic bungalow in Normaltown or a modern home in Oconee, a clean, updated bathroom tells buyers that the home has been well maintained.
Current Trends in Athens Homes
Our Athens bathroom remodeling team is seeing people want functionality and a bit of luxury:
- Tub-to-Shower Conversions: A lot of homeowners are swapping bathtubs they don't use for bigger, walk-in tile showers with frameless glass doors.
- Schluter-Kerdi Waterproofing: We use good waterproofing systems to make sure your new shower doesn't leak.
- Double Vanities: We often hear requests for more storage and counter space with quartz or granite double vanities in master suites.
- Modern Lighting & Venting: Upgrading to efficient LED lighting and quiet, strong exhaust fans keeps moisture down and makes the room brighter.
