A remodel done right can make a notable difference in the aesthetics, comfort and function of your bath space. But common misconceptions surrounding this particular upgrade might be stopping you from making better design decisions. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno, a premier bathroom contractor in the area, sheds light on some of the biggest myths related to bath design and remodeling.
1. “Putting a window behind the tub is great bathroom design.”
Unless that window overlooks a stunning view, there are better ways to create a focal point in the bathroom. How about artwork, striking wallpaper or a patterned accent wall instead? If you absolutely must add a window, have it installed where good lighting is needed, such as near the grooming station.
2. “You’ll need to expand your bathroom to get the most out of a remodel.”
Who doesn’t want more square footage? With an expanded bathroom, you’ll be able to add those luxe features you’ve always wanted. But a bath renovation can still be worthwhile even if you don’t build out. In fact, with an innovative layout designed by a premier bathroom remodeler like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno, it’s possible to make even a small bath look and feel more spacious.
3. “Double sinks in the master bedroom are a must.”
Having two sinks instead of one is convenient, especially if you and your partner prep for the day at around the same time. But double sinks will work only if your bathroom has the necessary space for them. If not, you’re better off with a single sink that provides a larger counter space.
4. “Windows offer enough ventilation in the bathroom.”
Having windows in the bathroom is great. They let in plenty of natural light and, when opened, allow fresh, cool air into the space. But you should still consider adding a vent fan in the room because it’s more effective at getting rid of excess moisture. With a fan augmenting the ventilation offered by the windows, there’s less chance of mold and mildew growth in your bathroom.
5. “You can DIY a bathroom remodel.”
Many people seem to think so. But while a DIY bathroom remodel can be done, that doesn’t mean that it should be. If you want to get quality results, work with a remodeling professional like DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno. Pros have the necessary expertise and can provide personalized design solutions to your bathroom renovation needs.
