Imagine this: you’ve finished bathing for the first time in your newly renovated bathroom and are now getting out of the shower. And then you find your towel hanging on the other side of the bathroom. For some homeowners, this isn’t just an imaginary prompt, but something that they have to live with everyday. Because we don’t want you to have that reality as well, here are the four things that homeowners tend to forget when renovating their bathroom.
1. Adequate Storage
Make sure that all the things that will be stored in your bathroom has its own space. Before finalizing the counter and cabinet space you’ll be needing, make a list of the things that will be in your bathroom. From towels to toiletries and cleaning supplies, everything should be taken into account. This will give you an idea on how much storage space you should allot for your items.
2. Lighting
A poorly lit bathroom not only looks drab and dull, but it also increases trip and fall hazards. Make sure that the whole space is well-illuminated with ambient lighting. Consider adding task lighting for your vanity and sink, as well as accent lighting to highlight a focal point in your bathroom.
3. Ventilation
Controlling the humidity inside the bathroom is a must if you want to avoid mold and mildew growth. Consider installing a window that’s operable and placed high enough to ensure privacy. You may also add an exhaust fan to draw out the moisture and humidity from the entire bathroom space.
4. Flooring
No matter how much your heart is set for one specific tile design, you should still choose safety. You can opt for vinyl flooring, which is slip-resistant, easy to maintain and versatile. It also has a wide variety that makes it resemble wood, ceramic tile and other types of flooring.
