The 5 mistakes to avoid when renovating your bathroom

Renovating your bathroom often means newness and comfort. But without preparation, it can quickly turn into a hassle. Here are the 5 most common mistakes to avoid for a successful renovation.

1. Neglecting ventilation

Choosing unsuitable materials

The bathroom is one of the most humid areas of the house. Without effective ventilation, humidity settles in and mold quickly appears, especially on walls, joints, or furniture. Consider installing a high-performance ventilation system or an operable window to ensure good air circulation.

Overlooking practicality

A bathroom is not just about beautiful tiles and a stylish sink. It’s also a place for daily use. Forgetting towel racks, storage, furniture height, or circulation space can quickly become a daily headache. Think about ergonomics above all!

2. Poor plumbing design

Changing the location of a shower or sink without checking the feasibility regarding water supply and drainage can lead to costly additional work. A plumber can help you anticipate technical constraints and make the right choices from the start.

3. Forgetting waterproofing

A beautiful bathroom is nothing without impeccable waterproofing. Under the shower, behind tiles, or at joints, every detail matters. Poor waterproofing can cause leaks, damaging your walls or your neighbors' ceilings.

4. Choosing unsuitable materials

Some materials, like standard paints or untreated wood, do not handle humidity well. To avoid unpleasant surprises, prioritize water-resistant, non-slip, and easy-to-maintain finishes. Design is nice, but durability is better.

5. Overlooking practicality

A bathroom is not just about beautiful tiles and a stylish sink. It’s also a place for daily use. Forgetting towel racks, storage, furniture height, or circulation space can quickly become a daily headache. Think about ergonomics above all!
