Building a house is a matter that requires the utmost care for not just the present condition, but future developments as well. Creating a balcony with a view may not guarantee that the view would not be obscured in the future, or not using the best sanitary ware in your bathroom will turn out to be a bad decision. This article is more about the bathroom part, because that is where the mistakes turn really big.
To be fair to everyone, these mistakes are quite common in today’s time. But don’t take these mistakes lightly as they may ruin your living experience in the long run. So how do you make sure that that does not happen? By avoiding 5 of these common bathroom mistakes.
Common Bathroom Mistakes To Avoid:
-
No Windows
A damp dark bathroom is a thought that can make anyone shudder as these are no fun to spend any time in. The best way to plan a bathroom is to place at least one of its sides on the exterior walls. If windows are not an option, a skylight can also be a great alternative.
-
Too Much View
While no view is bad, having too much of a view inside the bathroom is also a problem to deal with. Imagine the next thing to the dining room is the toilet. Who wants that? However, that does not mean that you create a hallway or room between the formal places and the bathroom. A simple separation to break the line of sight is also enough.
-
Too Obvious Toilet
While the toilet is important for the bathroom, it should not ideally be the first thing that you see in there. Keeping the toilet separated from the shower and the washbasin with cabinet by introducing a small wall may be a wise decision. Not only will that create a multipurpose room that can be used by at least 2 people, but it will also keep the toilet away from direct lines of sight.
-
Curbed Showers
Curbing the shower spaces has been an age-old practice that adds a small partition on the ground to help keep the shower water inside. But, for a seamless look and to make it more practical for aging owners, it is better to create totally curbless showers.

Bigger Is Better?
Bigger is not always better. Functional is better. Whether you have the dream home you always wanted or need to add more to the bathroom for your family, functionality always takes precedence oversize.
Whether you are building your home for the first time or remodelling currently, taking care that your bathroom looks top-notch is the key to making a great first impression. Hope these tips help.
