Renovation Experts say you need to renovate the bathroom every 17.9 years. Our house is 18 years, and it's time to renew the guest bathroom. We started the image and reduces things to those we loved most. So we met with the representative of the construction. "We need to talk about," he said after us up the stairs to the bathroom.
After some research, told us why some ideas should be deleted. We have ideas, designed the renovation of our budget. TwoWeeks later, representatives with photos of the product design data back and costs. This experience has strongly aware of errors bathroom renovation.
1. Lighting that is too high or too low. After the standards of today my husband and I are small people. Some years ago, we have a new brushed nickel lighting over mirror. "It 'a beautiful light, but I can not see me," said the representative. We could see our faces, but could not because it is the same height asLight. The company remount light to correct these errors.
2. Save Mis right lighting and furniture. To earn money, with our current maple vanity, raised a few inches. According to the representative to look coordinated bathroom furniture and lighting is better. We installed a faucet to go with brushed nickel vanity lights. Drawer knob Wodden will be replaced with brushed nickel.
3. Choosing the wrong cosmetic mirror. You can find cheapMirror at home and discount stores. Mirrors can be interesting, but can not go home. We bought new bars and a towel matchng mirror for our guest bathroom.
4. Difficult to clean tiles. Because I love mosaics (which I had in my studio) I'm looking for glass mosaic tiles surround the tub. It would be nice representative said, but mortar so it would be difficult to keep clean and mold-free. We have surrounded large size tiles for the bathroom.
5. Trendy colors. ColorsMost are from previous years, aqua and brown is back in style. These colors may not be in the way, if you sell your home. So real estate agents recommend neutral colors. We believe the brown and cream to be ready our house.
6. Insufficient water heater. National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI) says that we should review the capacity of the water heater. "If you add a large Jacuzzi for your project, you should consider a dedicated water heaterbath, "advises Nari.
7. Old, inadequate ventilation. Even if your bathroom fan works can not be ventilated. Money for a new ceiling fan is money well spent. Avoiding these errors is to ensure an effective and lasting bathroom renovation. Just think about all the time you spend there!
