Although bathrooms are often pushed to the background in decoration, they are areas just as important as any other room.
Since you are reading this article, you have realized this importance and are either planning to start decorating soon or have already included it in your plans.
So, what is bathroom decoration? Choosing the tiles and the bathtub!!!!! Absolutely not....
Bathroom decoration is a comprehensive process that involves many details. Your tiles must harmonize with your cabinets, your cabinets with your sink, your sink with your bathtub, and all of these with your accessories.
If you have never done any decorating before, we recommend leaving this job to an expert architect to avoid mistakes that could strain your budget.
Whether you decide to do your bathroom decoration yourself or through an architect, you will need to make a plan.
Let's follow the stages of this plan together.
1. Plan Your Budget
Before starting your bathroom decoration, be sure to plan your budget so that you don't run into unpleasant surprises. Doing a little market research will be sufficient for your budget plan.
2. Timing
Although bathrooms are relatively small areas and are planned to be finished in a short time, the process can often take longer. As we mentioned at the beginning of our article, bathrooms are detailed spaces. You will need to work with different craftsmen such as a plumber, an electrician, and a carpenter. Your materials will be sourced from different places at different times. Taking these into consideration, it is beneficial to start the decoration work at your most convenient time.
3. Prioritization
Making a priority list while renovating your bathroom will both prevent you from forgetting things and minimize potential mishaps.
4. Decide What You Want
Imagine the kind of bathroom you want. Finalize the design in your mind. We would like to remind you that you should not forget about functionality while designing. If you have a small bathroom, you should keep in mind that you will need plenty of wall shelves.
5. Inspection
Get information about your plumbing from master craftsmen and make sure not to skip the areas that need to be changed.
6. Have Your Measurements Ready
When you go shopping, you should have your exact and accurate measurements on hand.
How many tiles do you need, what size cabinets will you use, how large will your bathtub be? You definitely need to have this information.
7. Craftsmen to Get Help From During Renovation
Determine which subjects you will get help from craftsmen for and make agreements with them before starting the renovation.
8. Items to Be Replaced
Planning in advance what will change in your bathroom will provide you with convenience during the renovation.
9. Placement of Shelves
You must calculate well how much storage space you need in your bathroom. Also, where you will position your shelves should be included in this plan. Once these are finalized, you can choose shelves that harmonize with your bathroom.
10. Tiles
During your market research, you identified products suitable for your budget. Among these products, you need to choose water-resistant ones that suit your bathroom decoration. It should be remembered that the most important point when choosing bathroom tiles is slip resistance and durability rather than elegance.
11. Ventilation
If you do not provide proper ventilation, you may face mold and odor problems caused by high humidity in a short time.
12. Lighting
The basic principle of bathroom lighting is to plan for 4 watts of lighting per square meter. Sticking to this principle, you can use any lighting you want that suits your bathroom decoration and budget.
13. Choosing Accessories
This is your area of freedom; whether you just buy a new towel or completely change all the accessories. Depending on your budget, everything is left to your imagination.
Your bathroom is now complete. With a good cleaning followed by the placement of your accessories, you can enjoy your new bathroom.
