Renovating your bathroom can be a great way to refresh and add value to your home. However, without proper planning and execution, it can quickly turn into a nightmare. Whether you’re planning a complete overhaul or just some simple updates, it’s important to approach the renovation process with a clear understanding of your goals and budget. To help you achieve your dream bathroom while avoiding common mistakes, we’ve compiled five essential tips for a successful renovation. From budgeting and design to materials and fixtures, these tips will help you make informed decisions and create a bathroom that is both functional and stylish.
1. Eye Level Storage
Bathroom eye level storage can be an essential element in keeping your bathroom organized and clutter-free.
Perfect for Makeup, Men’s grooming, Toothbrushes and all those other things that can be easily lost in a drawer or deep cupboard.
By utilizing these eye level storage tips in your bathroom, you can create a functional and organized space that is both aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate.
2. Tile Size
The more grout you have, the more difficult cleaning is…
Opt for large format tiles on the floor and in shower walls and save your small tile selection for feature walls areas that aren’t going to get as much use.
You can always look at large format feature tiles and skip the small tiles all together!
3. Theme and Style
Keep consistency in your style. If you decide to use brass tap ware, make sure to follow through with brass fittings like toilet roll holders and shower screeen trims.
Avoid mixing warm and cool tones together. If you like warmer tones, look for brown and beiges. These warmer colour pair well with yellow based greens. Greys work well with blue toned colours.
4. Trends
Trends are one of those things that are really easy to get caught up in. Sometimes it is easy to think a style will stay around forever…but usually they don’t last longer than a few years (if you’re lucky).
Choose colours, patterns and finishes that you LOVE. If you go with your heart you’ll love it forever even if/when trends change.
5. Budget
Budgets suck but they’re also essential.
When putting a budget together for a renovation or new bathroom, make sure you allow at least 10% extra for unexpected costs.
As much as you think they won’t happen they often do and it could be the difference between finishing a bathroom or not!
