Considering a bathroom remodel in your home? Here are a few dos and don’ts before you get started.
Do:
Have a plan for unexpected problems. 
Nothing goes perfectly in a renovation. In fact, one of the most predictable parts of any renovation is finding a problem no one could see until after the work has started. Setting contingency money aside for will help keep your bathroom renovation budget and project on track.
Provide the right amount of light and ventilation
Bathrooms can turn into dark spaces people want to avoid without adequate lighting. A lack of ventilation can cause mold and other unappealing and dangerous issues to occur. Providing a ventilation fan and the right amount of lighting will help ensure the usefulness of your bathroom space.
Use appropriate materials for your bathroom space
Make sure the materials used are water-resistant and won’t chip or rust. Think porcelain tile, nonporous stone, custom manufactured shower and tub surrounds, and stainless metal surfaces and fixtures.
Don’t:
Cut corners on the necessities
For work that requires an expert touch, spend the money and hire a tradesman (i.e. plumber/electrician). When it comes to the important materials, don’t skimp because of the cost is higher than you’d like to spend. Otherwise, you’ll be hiring someone to fix worse problems than you started with.
Pick a design because it’s on-trend
Trends come and go, but you’ll be in your house for years after they fall out of favor. Pick a design that reflects your taste and will function well for decades to come.
Rush to get the work done
It’s hard to not rush when you are eager to get the work done and start using your bathroom space, but rushing can do as much damage as cutting corners on tradesman and materials. Take your time, make sure the work is done right, and you won’t have any regrets.
