Remodeling your bathroom may seem straightforward, and many homeowners are tempted to take on the project as it can make a big difference when selling a home. To make sure you don't have problems, here is what not to do when remodeling bathrooms:

Keep space in mind when planning your new look bathroom, as most bathrooms have only a limited amount. A shower door needs to be able to open without having to squeeze past it, and there should be plenty of room for cabinets to open and of course to use the toilet easily.

When replacing surfaces or other bathroom features, use materials that won't warp or attract mold in the moist environment. And they should be able to withstand the often strong cleaning chemicals that most people use to clean their bathroom.

It's always a good thing to incorporate as much space as possible into any new design, based on how many people routinely use it.
