Bathroom renovation mistakes are a very common issue that we see.<\/p>\n

When people think about improving their home, the bathroom is usually at the top of their list.<\/p>\n

The reason for this is simple:<\/p>\n

the bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in the house.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s also one of the most used.<\/p>\n

Like the kitchen, it needs to perform two tasks in your everyday life:<\/p>\n

it has to look nice, but it also has to be completely functional.<\/p>\n

Finding a bathroom that meets both of these criteria isn\u2019t simple.<\/p>\n

Even the most carefully-used bathroom will need updating more frequently than any other room in your house.<\/p>\n

If you have decided that the time is right for a full-scale renovation, then there\u2019s a few essential mistakes you need to ensure you avoid\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

1 – NOT HAVING A PLAN<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

A bathroom renovation should be thoroughly planned from start to finish.<\/p>\n

There are two benefits to this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. you are able to minimise the disruption to your home while the work is being undertaken, and\u2026<\/li>\n
  2. you\u2019re able to ensure that your finished bathroom is going to be exactly what you want.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you don\u2019t have a concrete plan at the start of the project, there could be issues.<\/p>\n

    For instance, you may find yourself reaching the completion stage and suddenly remembering that you wanted a rainfall shower.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re not confident about planning a renovation for yourself, All Division Building are more than happy to assist you in the task.<\/p>\n

    2 – FAILING TO PRIORITISE STORAGE<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    Your bathroom needs good storage.<\/p>\n

    Think of all the lotions and potions it has to contain and store.<\/p>\n

    As well as cleaning products, towels, face cloths and all the other essentials involved in getting you ready to face the day.<\/p>\n

    A well designed bathroom is a bathroom that naturally incorporates storage into the design.<\/p>\n

    Rather than spaces having to be cluttered up by baskets and other on-shelf storage items.<\/p>\n

    When it comes to deciding what your bathroom renovation is going to achieve, prioritising storage is an absolute essential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    3 – RENOVATING IN FITS AND STARTS<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    Bathroom renovations are, by their very nature, rather expensive.<\/p>\n

    This leads many homeowners to renovate in \u201cfits and starts\u201d; doing a little bit at a time, as their budget dictates.<\/p>\n

    This should generally be considered a bad idea.<\/p>\n

    Your bathroom is the most integrated room in your house.<\/p>\n

    You need to be able to combine the functional requirements of washing and bathing along with a design scheme.<\/p>\n

    As a result, it\u2019s better to do the whole job in one.<\/p>\n

    Starting from scratch and then adding in the essentials so that they complement with one another.<\/p>\n

    It is possible to renovate your bathroom slowly.<\/p>\n

    However, it\u2019s also worth remembering that the longer your bathroom is half completed the longer you may be denied its core functions.<\/p>\n

    If you want to keep the renovation process as smooth and simple as possible, then one big all-at-once push is the best way.<\/p>\n

    This minimises causing too much disruption to your life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    4 – CHOOSING GLARING LIGHTING<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    One of the main aspects of your bathroom renovation that you\u2019re going to want to consider at length is the bathroom.<\/p>\n

    Standard bathroom lighting is usually ceiling lights, which we can all agree is not the most flattering form of lighting.<\/p>\n

    With your renovation, don\u2019t ignore the possibility of additional lighting options for example; wall sconces.<\/p>\n

    These can help to provide a more flattering, realistic, and pleasant environment.<\/p>\n

    Lighting can still be bright and functional without becoming harsh and unpleasant.<\/p>\n

    Take the time to ensure you explore your\u00a0options<\/a>\u00a0to find something that is softer and more welcoming.<\/p>\n

    Your entire finished look will be vastly improved for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    5 – GOING EXTREME WITH THE COLOUR<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    Bathrooms tend to be small rooms, which means that your choice of colour should be minimal and simple.<\/p>\n

    Keep the base, permanent installations \u2013 such as tiling and the floor \u2013 simple and plain.<\/p>\n

    Now you can inject colour and patterns with accessories.<\/p>\n

    This strategy helps create a finished look that is interesting without being too extreme.<\/p>\n

    It also gives you more scope in the future for mini-redecoration\u2019s without the need for a full renovation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    CONCLUSION<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    Bathroom renovations can cause a lot of mess, hassle, and stress.<\/p>\n

    However, by ensuring you avoid the classic mistakes above, you can be sure that your renovation will progress as you expect.<\/p>\n

    This way you\u2019ll ensure that you deliver the outstanding bathroom renovation you have been hoping for.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
