  1. 10 Bathroom Remodeling No-No’s

  2. Taste may be RELATIVE, but some remodeling choices are just a BAD IDEA.

  3. Some present a SAFETY ISSUE.

  4. Others require a lot of UPKEEP.

  5. Some choices may even make it HARD to SELL your HOME.

  6. So, what are the 10 common bathroom remodeling mistakes?

  7. #1 Avoid GLOSSY, SLIPPERY TILES. They turn your bathroom into a SLIP-n- SLIDE.

  8. Look for tiles that the ADA rates 0.60 or higher for SLIP RESISTANCE.

  9. #2 Avoid using WALLPAPER. MOISTURE causes it to PEEL. 2

  10. If your décor demands the look of wallpaper, consider a SOLID VINYL WALLCOVERING instead.

  11. TINY TILE MOSIACS look amazing but require TONS of UPKEEP #3

  12. Restrict tiny mosaics to a SMALL AREA that requires minimal upkeep, like the VANITY BACKSPLASH.

  13. #4 Avoid LAMINATE FLOORING. Moisture causes the sheets to EXPAND and SEPARATE from the floor.

  14. LINOLEUM is a great alternative. It’s both BUDGET-FRIENDLY and ECO-FRIENDLY.

  15. #5 EXPOSED PLUMBING is great for a rustic or steampunk décor. But it’s DANGEROUS if you have small children. It also TURNS OFF lots of BUYERS.

  16. That said, go for it if you don’t have little ones or plan to sell your home soon. It’s your home. The décor should reflect that.

  17. #6 CARPETING in the bathroom is a breeding ground for MOLD and MILDEW.

  18. RUGS add warmth, color, and texture. And when they get dirty, you can WASH THEM.

  19. #7 HARDWOOD FLOORS don’t do well around water. They WARP and are LESS SANITARY than tile and linoleum.

  20. Still want the look of wood? You’re in luck! There are CERAMIC TILES that are practically INDISTINGUISHABLE from real wood.

  21. #8 Avoid YELLOW WALLS. Small spaces and artificial lighting don’t play well with yellow – even paints that just have a yellow undertone will make you question whose face is staring back at you in the mirror.

  22. Instead, stick to NEUTRAL COLORS for your walls, preferably GRAYS with blue or green undertones.

  23. #9 Stick to white for the tub and sink.

  24. #9 Stick to white for the tub and sink. Non-white tubs make the room look smaller and your home more difficult to sell.

  25. Add COLOR and TEXTURE through décor instead.

  26. #10 And the biggest bathroom remodeling mistake? (drumroll please) NOT WORKING WITH A DESIGN TEAM.
