Interested in remodeling your bathroom? This kind of home improvement project is one that many individuals try to take on without the help of a trusted professional. While some are successful, others find themselves in over their head because of the complexities that can come with flooring, plumbing, and more. If you want to make sure your space works effectively, looks beautiful, and doesn’t cause you to empty your wallet, consider avoiding these 3 costly mistakes when preparing for your upcoming remodel.
Choosing to Start Without a Clearly Defined Plan
Any remodeling project should start with a plan. Attempting to move forward without determining the details can lead to disaster. Not only will you lose valuable time, but you’ll waste your hard-earned money, and not just hundreds but likely thousands of dollars.
Before you begin, make sure you clearly define what you want to achieve. Working with a qualified professional can help you determine materials, storage, layout, aesthetics, and functionality so that the start-to-finish process remains seamless and worth the investment.
Picking the Wrong Materials
You may envision your bathroom as a space of relaxation and tranquility, but it should withstand the heavy amount of moisture that can accumulate.
Choosing the right materials can make a big difference when it comes to your wallet. Non-porous, easy-to-clean, and visually pleasing options will create a reliable, durable, and beautiful space you can enjoy. These days, you can opt for tile, laminate, or vinyl flooring, as well as natural stone walls and floors, depending on your preference.
You should also consider the kind of fixtures you use, as opting for the cheapest quality can lead to more frequent replacements over time.
Forgetting to Ensure Enough Storage Space
Your bathroom needs to have plenty of storage. Whether it’s towels, toiletries, linens, cosmetics, etc., having designated areas to hold these items can make for a less cluttered, more organized space.
Some storage options to consider include a vanity, cabinets, drawers, shelving, and even a small closet.
Choosing what kind of storage you need and want will factor into the overall design and layout of your bathroom remodel.
It’s easy to assume that a home improvement project like this is easy to do on your own because of the countless DIY shows on TV. However, without a helpful and licensed professional by your side, you risk throwing away your money on some of the most common mistakes.
Make sure your financial investment is spent wisely by partnering with someone you can trust to make your bathroom the retreat you desire.
