Top 5 Bathroom Remodeling Mistakes to Avoid

Bathroom remodeling mistakes to avoid

When you hire a professional remodeling contractor to take care of your bathroom remodeling, you should at least be confident the job will be done correctly. The expert is there to offer high-quality work and results but should also be willing to offer important advice.

Ultimately, it's your home, your bathroom, and your project, so what you say goes.

However, a caring and well-meaning professional should offer feedback to help steer you in the right direction.

There is no good reason to make any significant mistakes during the renovation process, and your contractor should make sure of that. For now, though, being aware of some of the most common errors that can occur during the remodeling process will help educate you about what to avoid.

5 Mistakes Homeowners Commonly Make With Bathroom Remodeling

The time has come to transform your current bathroom from drab to fab. You've hired the right experts and are ready to start making decisions.

Instead of just telling you about the things you should do, we'd like to point out a few mistakes you're going to want to avoid:

  • No Plan or Budget

Every project, big or small, needs a plan, and that should include a financial one. It's like setting out on a road trip to someplace you've never been without using GPS to see how to arrive at your destination.

  • Ignoring the Need for Proper Ventilation

No matter how luxurious your bathroom ends up looking, your experience in this space depends on having sufficient ventilation. Having the right size fan to circulate the air in this room makes all of the difference. Otherwise, you'll be trapped in a humid space with a lingering odor and won't enjoy it at all.

  • Failing to See the Importance of Proper Lighting

When in doubt, it's better to have too much lighting and not use it all than not enough lighting. The light in your bathroom has several jobs to do, from setting a mood for relaxing baths to brightening up the setting for shaving or applying makeup. When possible, introduce some natural lighting, too, so the space feels less like a dungeon.

  • Letting the Toilet be Visible From Outside the Bathroom

If the bathroom door gets left open, because it's going to happen, the last thing you want is for the toilet to be the focal point. Plan your commode placement properly, so it's not the first thing that gets noticed.

  • Leaving Out Storage

Your bathroom should look good but also be functional; it's not a museum piece. Improper spacing and failing to incorporate storage will make you miserable in the long-run. When in doubt, the more storage, the better.
