Giving your bathroom a makeover? Not so fast! Many homeowners spend a few nights on Pinterest then attempt to execute a big idea. Thing is, while your soon-to-be-new bathroom might look picture-perfect, could you be overlooking an important detail that might fill you with regret? To ensure your renovation is a smart one, take a look at a few of these factors many tend to overlook when redoing their bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget about ventilation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bathrooms are naturally damp places. Ideally, you\u2019ll want one with windows \u2013 the bigger the better \u2013 to prevent mould and bacteria from setting up shop. However, you could also install an exhaust fan. The latter is ideal if you live in a northern state with a long, hard winter. After all, the last thing you\u2019d want to do is crack open a window while you\u2019re taking a bath in a blizzard! It\u2019ll also cost you a fortune to heat your house if all your warm air is perpetually escaping out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people give their bathroom a dream makeover and suddenly realize they don\u2019t have storage space. That gorgeous framed mirror you chose over a bathroom cabinet looks fabulous, but where are you going to put your night cream? Sure, we all love a floating vanity area \u2013 but what\u2019s going to happen to your spare towels? Fortunately, if you\u2019re working with a small space, there\u2019s a lot you can do to capitalize on space. For example, a\u00a0Bathroom Butler towel shelf with a hang bar<\/a>\u00a0is a great way to hang two folded towels side by side and add a stack of them to the top. You could also consider one of our\u00a043\u201d double towel rails<\/a>. They can easily hold two unfolded large bath sheets and, because they\u2019re made from Grade 304 Stainless Steel, they\u2019re never going to sag, buckle or bend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get real about accessibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re renovating your bathroom intending to use it for a decade or two, don\u2019t forget about accessibility. Right now you might not have any problem getting into your shower or bath. But will it always be that way? Also, what happens if a less mobile relative moves in with you later on down the line? You don\u2019t have to add in any grab rails today, but do leave space for them should you need them in the future. Then, when designing your shower, consider a walk-in, curb-less design. It\u2019s these little things that can make a huge difference as well as save you a lot of money \u2013 and maybe even a move \u2013 in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a little luxury<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of renovators put so much focus on ensuring they\u2019ve ticked off all the essentials that they forget about adding a little luxury. And why not? When you think about it, your bathroom is a space you\u2019ll use several times a day and a place where you\u2019ll want to relax. There are lots of things you can do to add a touch of luxe. These range from choosing a bath with whirlpool jets or simply adding tiny details like a\u00a0footrest\u00a0in your shower<\/a>. One of the easiest ways to create a five-star feeling, however, is to add a\u00a0heated towel rail<\/a>. This way, you\u2019ll never have to worry about reaching for a damp towel ever again. In fact, they\u2019ll be bone dry with a lovely touch of warmth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, when it comes to renovating your bathroom, it\u2019s easy to create a space that\u2019s practical as well as luxe \u2013 provided you pay close attention to all the important details, big and small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
