8 Things To Avoid Doing When Renovating Your
Bathroom

• If youre ready to renovate your bathroom,
  exciting times almost certainly lie ahead. But
  make these 3 mistakes during the renovation and
  you could give yourself a headache that cant be
  solved by a long hot soak in a tub!
• To help make sure your bathroom renovation goes
  according to plan, here are 8 things to avoid
  doing
• 1. Designing a bathroom thats on-trend
• While this might have been a great idea at the
  time, designing a bathroom around a current trend
  could quickly leave you with an outdated space as
  trends move on and change. Instead of
  concentrating on being trendy, focus instead on
  timeless features that will remain popular,
  attractive and functional for many years to come.

• 2. Rushing the design process
• This stage of any renovation should be given due
  care and attention, and should never be rushed.
  If you do rush through the design phase of your
  bathroom renovation, you may miss out on
  opportunities to be creative and innovative, and
  to view your bathroom from a different
  perspective.
• Carefully consider the space, what you want to
  achieve from it, and whether your proposed ideas
  will be enduring enough for you not to want to
  change them again in a couple of years time.

• 3. Missing out on chances to customize the space
• No two families and their needs and desires when
  using a bathroom, are ever exactly the same, and
  for that reason, your bathroom should be unique
  to your household. But, by failing to explore
  opportunities to tailor the space and make it fit
  your wonts entirely, you could end up with a
  bathroom that doesnt fulfil your needs, let
  alone your desires.
• Listen to your design team, listen to your
  family, and dont be afraid to ask whether
  something is possible, because more often than
  not, it is!

• 4. Hiring an inexperienced contractor
• This is a cardinal mistake, and one thats often
  made when homeowners are trying to save money
  renovating their bathroom, or simply dont know
  who to choose. A general contractor that isnt
  experienced with bathroom renovations, or who has
  carried out plenty of sub-standard renovations,
  will never give you the bathroom of your dreams,
  even if they may promise that while giving you a
  rock-bottom estimate.

• Dont try to cut costs when hiring a general
  contractor, because as with many things in life,
  you get what you pay for.
• 5. Doing it yourself!
• There are only a few aspects of a bathroom
  renovation that a novice DIY enthusiast can carry
  out safely and effectively, and these are
  typically just aesthetic aspects, such as
  painting or possibly tiling. While it might be
  cheaper to renovate your bathroom yourself,
  mistakes that you make because youre not a
  plumber, construction expert or other kind of
  professional tradesperson, can end up costing you
  dearly, and quite frankly, end in embarrassment
  and a whole bunch of stress.

• 6. Failing to optimize lighting
• The right lighting in a bathroom can make all the
  difference, and when renovating, you have the
  perfect chance to get it just right. Think about
  what type of light you want and where, and how
  you can make the lighting adjustable to suit
  different times of the day, needs etc.

• 7. Ignoring accessibility
• By making your bathroom accessible for the
  elderly or handicapped, you can ensure that you
  have a timeless space thats always going to be
  functional, no matter what life may throw at you.
  From welcoming senior relatives into your home,
  to coping with a change in a member of the
  households mobility, an accessible bathroom is
  one that you can not just enjoy, but live with,
  and for many years to come.

• 8. Neglecting to consider cleaning and upkeep
• By choosing materials that are easy to keep
  clean, and which will continue to look good no
  matter how much use they get, you can give
  yourself a bathroom thats less stress, and which
  will continue to look as good as new, with little
  effort.
• Renovating your bathroom can absolutely be a
  success first time around, but only with careful
  consideration of all the points above. To give
  yourself a bathroom you can enjoy for many years
  to come, dont make these 8 mistakes!
