Remodeling your bathroom is one of the most costly projects among other rooms, considering the fact that there's plumbing and electrical involved. Expensive as it may seem, it can still be a fun process as you'll have endless designs and color palettes to choose from.
It may take a while for you to come up with the design that you'll fall in-love with, but make sure that it is something timeless. Choose a design that you'll get to live with so that you won't have to spend another costly remodel.
Though there are numerous of designs to choose from, there some common bathroom remodeling mistakes that you should avoid. Subtle as they may seem, they can actually affect the bathroom's long term effectivity.
Listed below are some of the common bathroom design mistakes from Houzz and House Logic that you should avoid:
No Ventilation
Though this mistake can usually be seen in smaller bathrooms, it is something that you should avoid. A bathroom without proper ventilation or even just a small window is a big No-No. Letting air into you bathroom is important as it avoid mildew and molds build up.
Too Much Toilet
It's not about the toilet and so don't have to focus on it. Try to avoid making the toilet too visible, so that it can have multiple users. If you can divide the bathroom into 2 areas [separating the dink from the toilet and shower] kindly do so as it will expand the bathroom's use.
Putting in too Much
Installing a bathtub isn't mandatory; you can ditch it and opt for a shower instead. It consumes too much space most especially in small bathrooms which can make everything look cramped.
Putting in too much storage space should be avoided as well most especially if you won't use it. Make sure that the cabinets that you'll be installing will be used for the things that you actually need, and not use it as a space for hoarding.
