• HOW TO AVOID THEM

Introduction

• Getting something new in your home is always an
  exciting moment. It can be a new gadget or a new
  set of curtains but the feeling is the same. I
  guess the only time one can say that the feeling
  is much greater is when you get a whole new
  bathroom.
• Well, not a new new bathroom but a newly
  renovated bathroom.
• Bathrooms are one of the more intimate parts of
  the house. You share moments with it so when some
  things change, its as if you get a new friend.
• But bathroom renovations arent exactly as that
  in the Sims game. As a matter of fact, people
  make a lot of mistakes when they renovate their
  bathrooms.
• Because we love you so much, we dont want you to
  make those same mistakes. To help you out, we
  have outlined the top 10 mistakes people make
  when they renovate their bathrooms.

OVERSPENDING

• Admit it, when you are working on something you
  love you usually get carried away. In the case of
  a bathroom renovation, you want everything so you
  get everything and end up overspending. Make sure
  you already have a plan in mind and a budget
  before you start so you wont lose your way.

2. DIY WATERPROOFING

• So you think saving a couple of dollars will
  let you get that sweet fixture you want? Not
  really. Doing the waterproofing yourself is a
  disaster waiting to happen. Dont skimp out on
  it. Get a professional.

3. POOR VENTILATION

• Mould likes dark and damp rooms. Your bathroom
  is already damp so you better make sure it gets
  ventilated properly so the moisture within the
  rooms stays at a safe level.

4. PUTTING TOO MUCH IN

• Just like a travel bag, a bathroom only needs
  the essentials. Dont make the mistake of putting
  all kinds of stuff in it because its the new
  thing. Remember that while your bathroom is your
  me room, you dont need a laptop table inside.

5. POOR LIGHTING

• Lighting is everything when it comes to
  bathrooms. You may have the best fixtures and
  sweetest-looking tiles but it will not come
  together if you have poor lighting. Also, a
  majority of the stuff you do inside your
  bathrooms require ample light. You wouldnt want
  to apply makeup in the dark, right?

6. TAKING OUT THE BATH

• This one really depends on what your goal is
  but removing the bath means you are going to move
  it somewhere else thats not your bathroom. That,
  in itself, is a totally new problem you have to
  address.

7. BAD DRAINAGE

• A common mistake with people who renovate their
  bathrooms themselves. They forget that water has
  to go somewhere when it falls to the floor.
  Nobody wants a pool of gray water at their ankles
  when they take a bath.

8. GETTING ALL TRENDY

• Sure, that Taylor Swift inspired vanity looks
  good now but what will you do when shes not
  longer the hot thing on Hollywood 2 years from
  now?

10.Not having enough storage

• So you have the important parts of the bathroom
  done. Are you missing something? Yeah. Its the
  storage. Where do you expect you should put your
  towels? Your other stuff? Make sure there is
  enough storage to be used by people who will be
  using the bathroom.
