Do's and Don't of Bathroom Remodelling
It’s quite important to know how much you can spend on your new bathroom remodel. Having a realistic budget from the beginning will ensure the project doesn’t come to a stop because of financial hurdles. Look at your finances then work with an expert to advise on the kind of renovation that will be most feasible for you.
Don't  Under budget
DO Start With a Design Plan
Have you seen any inspiring bathroom design that you’d like to mimic? Start from there. It’s really important to get a proper understanding of what you want the final product to look like. There are websites that offer free design ideas for modern bathrooms.
If you weren’t sure of your personal style, online research would be a good place to start. Remember you don’t have to copy one type of design exactly the way it is. Pick something you like and then select the elements that are most appealing to you. You can create a mood board that contains every style you’d like to incorporate in your new bathroom and then work with an expert to put it all together.
One mistake that many people make when remodeling the bathroom is choosing high-end elements with dramatic finishes only to regret later. Some design features run out of style very quickly. It’s best to choose neutral finishes for those high-end elements in your bathroom like the tile flowing and shower design. Bathroom design trends come and go so it’s important to choose something that doesn’t need to be altered after a few hours especially if you’ll be spending so much money having it installed in the first place.
Incorporating neutral elements in your bathroom doesn’t have to mean that your overall design will be boring. There are ways to bring out your personality into the space without having to change critical fixtures or going for unusual finishes on high-end elements. You can play around with accessories that are easier to replace over time. Adding a visually striking element like bold paint, a mirror or floor coverings would be a better approach to bring out your personality.
DO Opt for Neutral Elements

DO Invest in a Good Shower
One popular bathroom feature that today’s homebuyers are keen on is the shower. Investing in a luxurious shower is going to be a worthwhile endeavor in your next renovation. A good shower can transform the bathing experience in ways you never imagined possible. Think of multiple showerheads, heated flows, and more features. Bathtubs aren’t used as often as showers because of all the effort it takes to clean. You may want to skip this expense and go for a good shower instead. It all depends on what your personal preference is.
Don't Forget About the Bathroom Vanity
The bathroom vanity is one key feature that you can use to make a big statement. This is one element everyone will notice immediately they walk into your bathroom. There are lots of options to choose from when it comes to vanity designs. From vanities that come with double sinks, large mirrors and lots of storage, you’ll need to make a good decision based on the space available as well as your budget. A good vanity should add visual interest to the space. Go for neutral designs that you can quickly change up whenever you feel to freshen up the look of the bathroom.
Bathroom renovations can be a daunting experience but there’s nothing more satisfying to know that you did your best before and during the process.
Don't Skip StorageÂ
Storage is key in the bathroom. Whether you’re looking to store some extra toiletries or guest towels, this storage will come in handy when you need to have these items on hand. If you have adequate space in your bathroom, consider investing in proper in-built shelving or an extra closet. If your space is smaller, there are so many other storage alternatives to consider. Just make sure storage is not an afterthought in your remodeling project. Think it through early in the process because it’s going to be worth the effort and expense.
