Bathroom renovations are too expensive. That's why no one wants to do them often, and especially not to redo anything because of mistakes made.
But this does not protect against mistakes, which are often made at the project stage.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told us what mistakes in the bathroom interior ruin your life.
Mistake number one: lighting
One light bulb on the ceiling or on the wall above the door is not enough even for a gloomy bathroom. What can we say about a cozy and comfortable bathroom?
There should be several sources of lighting: main (on the ceiling), additional (near the mirror and sink) and atmospheric.
The latter option allows you to take a bath in comfort and relax, which is impossible if there is only one bright light hanging on the ceiling.
Mistake two: planning
The space in the bathroom should be ergonomic. That is, it should be comfortable for all residents of the apartment.
This concerns the placement of furniture, plumbing, shower heads, sockets, switches, and so on.
Mistake three: storage
There are a lot of items that need to be stored in the bathroom. At a minimum, these are household chemicals for washing and cleaning, and cleaning equipment.
And also household appliances and plumbing, an abundance of body care products and personal hygiene items.
It is important to avoid clutter, which can ruin the interior of even a perfectly designed room.
Mistake number four: communications
Engineering communications (pipes, meters, filters) must remain accessible for maintenance.
If you wall them up, then in the event of an emergency you will have to plan a bathroom renovation again.
But leaving sewer pipes in sight is also not the best choice.
Mistake number five: materials
Usually it is tiles, but the color is more important. The ideal solution is two shades for the background and one for creating an accent.
You should also not choose several finishing materials - stone, glass, wood, metal, plastic, etc. Because of this, the interior will seem overloaded.
