One of the most fun activities you can do to update your home is to renovate your bathroom. When you think about bathroom remodeling in Tampa, the first few things that spring to your mind may be upgrading your counter and vanity, getting that whirlpool tub you have always dreamt of, or replacing that old laminate flooring with classy tile. The last thing you are thinking about is the possible mistakes that could be made. However, the smartest home renovators know what mistakes to avoid making so their dream bathroom can become a reality.

Here are the top mistakes we see homeowners make when doing bathroom remodeling in Tampa.

  1. Vanity Lighting- Just because there is an overhead light and a window, does not mean you’ll have enough light to see in your mirror above the vanity or sink. Make sure not to forget adding lighting around your mirror using track lights, sconces, or other light to the sides or just above the mirror, attached to the wall.
  2. Storage- Clean lines and open spaces are in, but if you don’t have a closet just outside the bathroom, or drawers in your vanity, you’ll need to come up with creative ways to store your toiletries, makeup, towels, and other things that call the bathroom home.
  3. Shower Accessibility- There are many different components to bathroom remodeling in Tampa, but one of the details you must pay attention to on the design plan is placement of the showerhead, temperature control, and grab bars. Make sure you can reach in easily to turn on the shower and adjust temperature without getting wet. Homeowners should also consider grab bars in their shower even if there are no persons with disabilities in the home. Grab bars are great for protecting against slip and fall accidents.

Bathroom remodeling is a great project that can add lots of value to your home, especially when you can avoid the common mistakes DIYers tend to make. Hiring a professional bathroom remodeling in Tampa company will guarantee the dream bathroom you have always wanted without the worry of costly mistakes.
