How not to spoil the renovation in the bathroom at the last moment? 6 Common Mistakes
More expensive than a kitchen renovation can only be a bathroom renovation! Therefore, before starting repairs in the bathroom, you need to try to take into account every little thing, absolutely all the minor details. Then nothing will overshadow the joy after the completion of work.
Good afternoon dear friends!
The one who does nothing is not mistaken! This common expression can be fully applied to any area of our life, including repair. But you must admit, some mistakes are too expensive. After all, repairs are not cheap these days. Take into account, you say, everything is impossible. You're right! But it is quite possible to avoid ridiculous mistakes, especially if you know about them in advance. Is not it?! But let's get back to the bathroom. Or rather, to repair it.
I want to note that the repair does not end with the choice of building, finishing material, decoration and plumbing. The last and no less important step is furnishing. And if you approach it negligently, then you can nullify the entire colossal amount of work! As a result: the practicality of the room will decrease, the design idea will be lost, aesthetics will disappear, etc.
So, in order for you to avoid such an unpleasant outcome, I have prepared a list of 6 common mistakes people make when remodeling a bathroom.
Mistake #1. The choice of furniture without taking into account the hardness of the water. Ask, where is the relationship between water parameters and furniture? Everything is simple! Water, which contains a lot of limestone, will leave whitish traces on dark interior elements. And this will happen after every visit to the bathroom! Therefore, in regions with hard water, dark facades, countertops, plumbing and faucets should not be installed.
This mistake can make the room untidy, and the cleaning in it is very frequent. Do you need it?
Mistake #2. Forget about sockets in the bathroom. The modern world is filled with electrical appliances, without which we simply cannot imagine our life.Electric toothbrush, curling iron, hair dryer, washer and dryer, etc. But without electricity they are useless. Therefore, be sure to remember to install at least 2-3 sockets in the bathroom. This will make your room more comfortable and practical.
But don't forget about safety. Sockets must be covered with special shutters or mounted inside a cabinet / drawer.
Mistake #3. Refusal of boxes for the sake of shelves. The bath is often literally filled with cosmetics, detergents and other accessories. And for this, an ergonomic storage system is simply necessary.Therefore, when choosing bathroom furniture, try to opt for cabinets and cabinets with drawers. Of course, furniture only with shelves is cheaper, but drawers allow you to provide visual order in the bathroom, as well as simplify the search for everything you need.
By the way, if the boxes are large, it is better to separate them with internal partitions. This will greatly simplify both the search and storage of small things.
Mistake #4. Ignore household habits. Before proceeding with the arrangement of the bathroom, you need to determine the range of tasks that the future bath will perform. And answer simple questions for yourself: “Will the children be able to reach for a toothbrush and paste or get a towel?”, “Where fold dirty linen, powder and soap”, “Is it convenient to connect and use a hair dryer?”, “Do I need to store in the bathroom cosmetics? I think that these are not all the questions that you should discuss with your household before starting repairs in order to determine all the tasks of your future bath and ways to solve them.
Remember that the bathroom should be comfortable for everyone. From the smallest to the most respected. All tasks should be easy and simple.
Mistake #5. Do not anticipate the needs of the family. Over time, family needs may change. Perhaps you are looking forward to having a baby or planning to get a pet. It is very difficult to foresee all the changes, but at least for the near future it is worth trying. Therefore, when designing and repairing a bathroom, such nuances should be taken into account.
But you shouldn't get too carried away with the future either. Remember today. An inconvenient here and now bathroom will definitely not bring you joy.
Mistake #6. Bet on originality. Alas, the bathroom is not the kind of room where you should show "wild" creativity and originality or use extremely complex design and bright colors. Fashion and trends are too fleeting. And the repair of a bathroom... well, you yourself know - both expensive and troublesome. Therefore, in order for the room to remain relevant even after 10 years (or maybe longer), rely on timeless materials (wood, natural stone) and / or their imitation. The interior, as a whole, is more correct to make calm, monochrome.
Well, if you really want to make a bold note, then you can bring bright, interesting accessories. By changing them, you will transform the entire interior of the bathroom.
