Common Bathroom Remodeling Mistakes

Bathroom renovation is a major project to undertake especially if you don’t have a clear design in mind. It is best to remember that you have to think about the many major factors that could affect your bathroom rebuild project. The list below can help you.

  • Budget – how much money are you willing to spend for your bathroom remodeling?
  • Color – will you be changing it up to a new color scheme or are you going to stick to the current one you have?
  • Bathroom Fixtures – are you going to replace them, retain them or move them to different location?
  • Contractors – are you going to hire them or are you more of DIY guy who have friends to help you?
  • Contingency Funds – having a back-up money source for the unexpected repairs is a good idea.

Let’s proceed to some of the common mistakes in bathroom remodeling.

Considering Beauty Before Function

Looking at the magazines and seeing those pristine looking bathrooms can give you a high that can lead to being impulsive. The shiny and clean looking bathroom fixtures can sometimes make you want to just buy them. But before you do, ask yourself, what would be the benefit of buying this product in your bathroom rebuild?
Designing and remodeling your bathroom so that it becomes the one of your dreams, means that you have to consider all the things you will be taking out and putting into the space. There are three major things that your bathroom fixtures should have and they are safety, functionality and comfort.

Designing Without Considering Space

It does not make sense to bring in large fixtures when you have a small bathroom. Measure you space first and map out where your current fixtures are. You can then have an idea of how you can maximize the space of your bathroom. This is what bathroom remodeling is all about. It is making the space available work for you with proper placing of fixtures and storages.

If you have a small bathroom, utilize as much space as you can. There are storage designs for small spaces that can really help in achieving that dream bathroom design of yours.

Theme up

You read it right. Theme up means that you need to decide on the theme of your bathroom design before you even start the whole remodeling process. Having a theme will help you in creating a seamless looking design that is pleasing to eye. Your theme will dictate how your bathroom will look and feel once a person enters it.
Now that you have an idea on some of the things that you need to look out for, you can now start designing your bathroom to achieve that jaw dropping, dream bathroom design you’ve been wanting. Good luck and have fun in your bathroom remodeling journey!
