The easiest bathroom details to forget are the ones that disappear behind tile, mirrors, glass, and cabinetry. They are also some of the most expensive to fix later.
Do Not Forget These Items
- Ventilation and fan sizing
- Waterproofing method
- Shower niche placement
- Shower valve location
- Lighting at the mirror and inside the shower
- Outlet locations
- Heated floor controls
- Towel bar and robe hook locations
- Door swings and clearances
- Storage for daily products
- Access to shutoffs
- Toilet paper holder location
Why These Details Matter
A beautiful bathroom can still be frustrating if the mirror lighting is poor, towels have no home, the shower niche is too small, or outlets are in the wrong place.
Best Time To Decide
Make these decisions before rough plumbing and electrical work. After tile starts, small changes can become expensive.
