A bathroom remodeling project allows you to reimagine this space so it's both functional and expertly designed. However, with so many designs and materials to choose, it's easy to get caught up in the planning and not think about the end result. Below are some of the most common errors to keep in mind. 

3 Common Bathroom Remodeling Mistakes

1. No Clear Plan or Budget 

Without a solid idea of what you want your remodeling project to entail, you run the risk of designing a space you're not ultimately happy with or choosing materials that don't make sense for the style of the home. Changing your mind midway through the project or redoing the bathroom just a few years later wastes both time and money. 

Outline what your goals are. Do you want to change the entire layout of the space, or are you just looking to update the current fixtures and repaint? Knowing what your wants versus needs are, you can then form a budget and choose appropriate materials. 

2. Forgoing Ventilation 

A quality ventilation system keeps moisture from building up in the bathroom and contributing to mold growth. It also enhances the room’s comfort by lowering the humidity. Measure the room’s square footage to choose the right exhaust fan size—one that's too small won't move enough humid air out of the room. If you are concerned about the fan’s noise level, look for options advertised as “quiet.”

3. Choosing Oversized Fixtures

The bathroom shouldn’t feel cramped by the project’s end. While it may be more convenient to have a double vanity, if the toilet is now too close to the sink, you may find this more frustrating in the long run. Work with your bathroom remodeling contractors to create a spacious layout that works with the room’s square footage, such as taking out a bulky vanity in favor of a pedestal sink and floating shelves.
