We made repairs in the bathroom, and after a while we realized that we had made 5 ridiculous mistakes!

Bathroom renovation completed! Finally, the bathroom looks the way we wanted it! But a month or two or three passes, and more and more sensations appear that not everything was thought out! And already now I want to redo something in the new bathroom! How to make repairs and not be disappointed?

Today I will share with you 5 mistakes that people often notice after completing a bathroom renovation!

1. Abandoned sockets

Someone somewhere once said that sockets in the bathroom should not be installed! Dangerous electricity near water! But it is really dangerous! But there are norms and requirements, observing which, you can install an outlet in the bathroom, and not even one. It is allowed!

Lack of outlets in the bathroom is an inconvenience that will lead to disappointment over time! After all, a lot of electrical appliances have to be used in the bathroom - washing machine, drying machine, electric shaver, hair dryer, curling iron, water heater, etc.

2. Made a hatch too small

An inspection hatch hiding communications must be of normal size. Indeed, in case of malfunctions, unhindered access of a specialist will be necessary to engineering communications. But at the stage of apartment renovation, people do not think this is important! I just want it to be beautiful! Leave tiny hatches on which tiny doors are made... And then they don't know what to do.

You'd better think about this question right away! And make the inspection hatch of adequate size. Now craftsmen make hidden hatches, covering them with tiles. Aesthetic and practical!

3. Cooker hood without fan

Ventilation is a problem for many! This is constant moisture, which means the appearance of mold and mildew. To avoid this problem, consider ventilation before starting repairs. Equip the hood with a special fan. Thanks to him, the bathroom will dry out faster, and moisture will not accumulate.

When installing the fan, take care of the switching system. Usually the fan turns on together with the light. But you can also make a separate switch.

4. The bathtub was walled up - there is not enough storage space

It is customary to tile the side of the bathtub. Yes, it looks good. But just think - how much space are you losing? There is nowhere to store household chemicals. But you could easily place all the bottles under the bathroom.

Do not brick the bathtub! Install doors or hidden tile doors, and fix shelves or small baskets for storing household chemicals on them.

5. Caution! Slippery floor!

This is a very large and frequent disappointment! The tile turned out to be beautiful, but very slippery. This is inconvenient, unpleasant, and unsafe.

Do not use glossy tiles for the bathroom floor. Better to lay porcelain stoneware or any other tile with a rough surface. When wet, such a tile will not remain slippery. And this is very important!
