6 Bathroom Remodel Mistakes to Avoid | Flippers Warehouse

Bathroom remodels are a great way to bring back life into a bathroom, increase storage space, add more functionality to fit your needs, or making a more comfortable space to get ready in. 

Here are 6 common mistakes that you should try to avoid in every bathroom remodel.

1. Don't Choose Fragile Materials

The last thing you want to be doing after a lengthy remodel is having to make repairs constantly; ultimately extending your costs and time spent on the remodel.

Try to avoid things that will break or scratch easily. For example, limestone may look pretty, but it's especially vulnerable to water marks. Marble is another popular choice for materials, but it is prone to chipping, cracking, and etching. 

Quartz is an ideal option because it's very durable, great looking, and affordable. Especially when you factor out the repair costs needed for other materials.

2. Don't Skip Cabinets

Without cabinets you'll be forfeiting organizational storage space, which is a vital necessity in bathrooms. Consider where you'll be putting makeup, cleaning supplies, soaps, towels, and other bathroom supplies. 

Avoid the anxiety and stress that a cluttered bathroom makes and make sure to included the appropriate amount of cabinets to fit your needs. An effective organized storage space will make any time you're getting ready, that much better.

Designing your bathroom with forethought will go a long in creating a space that is useful, beautiful, and sets the right feeling to start or end your days on the best note.
