Introduction
Renovating a bathroom is one of the most exciting changes in any home. However, along the way, it's easy to make mistakes that can cost you time, money, and frustration. From choosing undurable materials to neglecting proper lighting, there are mistakes that can compromise the final result. In this article, we'll tell you five common mistakes when renovating a bathroom and how to avoid them, so you can achieve a functional, long-lasting, and aesthetically impeccable space.
1. Not planning the space well
One of the most common mistakes is not considering layout and ergonomics. Placing the toilet close to the door, choosing a sink that's too large, or not leaving enough room to open the shower screen are common problems.
How to avoid it: draw a floor plan with actual measurements, define paths, and validate openings. At Merkimarket, you'll find compact toilets and sliding shower screens perfect for small bathrooms.
2. Choosing materials solely for aesthetics
The bathroom requires moisture resistance and easy cleaning, as well as good design.
How to avoid it: prioritize vitrified porcelain, faucets with durable finishes, and anti-limescale shower screens. Brands like Roca, Fossil Natura, Unisan, and Nashi combine design and durability.
3. Neglecting lighting
A poorly lit bathroom makes daily tasks difficult and reduces aesthetic value.
How to avoid it: Combine general light (3000K–4000K) with focal light on the mirror (LED mirrors) and indirect ambient light.
4. Not thinking about storage
Without space for towels and products, the bathroom looks cluttered.
How to avoid it: opt for floating furniture with organizing drawers, shelves, and matching accessories. At Merkimarket, you'll find solutions for every style.
5. Save on professional installation
Saving money by hiring unqualified personnel often costs a lot.
How to avoid it: Entrust the installation of sanitary fixtures, faucets, and shower screens to professionals to ensure a perfect finish and avoid leaks or misalignments.
