The bathroom is one of the most important parts of any home, as it is essential for maintaining your health and comfort. If you are planning to remodel your bathroom, we encourage you to consider the project carefully before you get started. Our team at TCB Construction has extensive experience in bathroom remodeling and we can help you avoid some common pitfalls associated with this kind of project.
Keep reading to learn about a few common mistakes to avoid when it comes to bathroom remodeling.
- Insufficient Storage – One mistake people often make when planning a bathroom remodeling project is not including enough storage. Think about all the things you store in your bathroom—toiletries, grooming tools, towels, medication, etc.—and make sure to give yourself enough space to store them neatly.
- Poor Lighting – Another mistake we see often when it comes to bathroom remodeling is failing to include enough lighting. Remember, the bathroom is where people shave and put on makeup, so make sure there is plenty of light by which to see what you’re doing. We also recommend using warm-toned light bulbs in your bathroom fixtures, as this will give you a better idea of what you’ll look like in natural sunlight.
- Lack of Forethought – A third mistake many people make when planning bathroom renovations is to only consider the near future, rather than the far future as well. If you want to be able to age in place in your home, then we encourage you to make sure your bathroom design is accessible. For example, a flat shower floor will be easier to navigate than a high tub wall should you develop mobility issues in the future.
