Bad bathroom decisions

Ideally, a professional designer should deal with the interior of the bathroom, since he, by the nature of his profession, knows about all the possible problems of this room. But if there is no opportunity to hire a designer, then you yourself will have to take care of it. This, of course, will require your attention and time, but it’s better to spend this time than to suffer from mistakes made later or even spend even more time correcting them. In this article, we will tell you about what you definitely should not do in the bathroom.

Plasterboard ceiling

Drywall has many advantages, but in the bathroom its main drawback is its low moisture resistance. For the bathroom, this material is simply not suitable. It is better to give preference to stretch ceilings - it is not afraid of moisture and is even able to endure flooding from above by neighbors.

Floor without waterproofing

Waterproofing is important because it performs a number of important functions. Firstly, it protects your neighbors from the fact that you flood them. Secondly, its presence significantly extends the life of the repair you have made. Moreover, it resists the occurrence of fungus and mold, which is also important. And if you live on the first floor, then it will also protect against the penetration of moisture from the outside. In the kitchen, it is also relevant and useful.

Slippery floor

Glossy porcelain tiles and glossy tiles are bad because they become very slippery when water gets in, and this threatens to cause traumatic situations. So it is better to give preference to all the same tiles and porcelain stoneware, but semi-polished, or lapped.

Dismantling the heated towel rail

The heated towel rail heats the bathroom. Therefore, its absence threatens that the room will become much colder, it will dry out more slowly, and because of this, mold can simply multiply at cosmic speed. So if you do not like the old heated towel rail - replace it with a new one, but you should not remove it in any case.

Plastic corners and skirting boards

Plastic corners and skirting boards let water through, have a rather short service life, and their appearance leaves much to be desired. So it is better not to use them in the bathroom, or in the living room, or in any other room. Specifically for the bathroom, a grout-sealant would be a much better option.

Lack of access to pipes

Often people simply embed pipes into the wall to make the room look prettier. But this is a very unwise approach. If you do not have access to the pipes, then you will not be able to fix the breakdown quickly enough if it occurs. Moreover, to get to them, you have to simply break the wall, and this is a significant expense item. And the solution is quite simple - there are special boxes that mask the pipes and allow you to quickly get to them in case of problems.

And, of course, the wrong decision would be to purchase furniture for the bathroom that will not withstand high humidity. To avoid this error, you should contact living room. We make custom furniture, including bathroom furniture, so you can be sure that it will last long enough, because it was created with this in mind.
