Underestimating the budget
One of the most common mistakes people make regarding bathroom renovations is underestimating the budget. You must research the cost of materials and labour and create a realistic budget for your renovation. It would help if you also left a buffer for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the renovation. Aim to set aside 10-20% extra of the total budget to avoid mishaps.
Ignoring the importance of lighting
Lighting is crucial in any bathroom renovation. It can make or break the ambience of your space. When designing the renovation, consider adding ample lighting in essential areas, such as above the vanity and in the shower. Lighting fixtures should be both practical and stylish. Start your research by checking out lighting design and trends on Pinterest or Instagram.
Not planning for enough storage
We all know that the bathroom is the storage hub of every home. Yet, it’s also the most overlooked aspect of a renovation. When renovating your bathroom, ensure that you plan for enough storage. Consider tall cupboards that can hide clutter, open shelves for frequently used items such as towels and bath mats, or even custom-made storage that fits your needs.
Choosing the wrong fittings
People often get too wrapped up in the aesthetics of fittings and forget to consider functionality. Don’t choose something merely because it looks nice; it must be practical and fit your bathroom’s needs. Make sure you research and purchase high-quality fixtures that will stand the test of time.
DIY-ing everything
It’s great to want to take on a renovation yourself. Still, some aspects of a bathroom renovation should be left to professionals. DIY mistakes can cost you twice as much as hiring an expert from the start. Consider hiring professionals for essential jobs such as tiling, electrical work, and plumbing to avoid mishaps.
