5x Renovate the bathroom yourself

Is your bathroom a bit outdated and have you saved some money in the meantime to give it a makeover?? Then you can easily get started yourself, as long as you take certain things into account. You cannot renovate without a plan, so the whole process starts here. It is also a matter of making smart choices, both in terms of appearance and durability. Following 5 tips will help you on your way.

Set up a bathroom layout

You may know perfectly well what the ideal bathroom looks like for you, but you can't get started right away. Take a pen and paper to hand and first think about how you will arrange the available space. In this way, the renovation goes a lot smoother, and avoid mistakes later on. Are you still unsure about its appearance?? You will find an abundance of inspiration on Pinterest.

Less is more

Try to limit that many inspirations to one concrete idea, in the same particular style. You don't do this, then there is a chance that the final look of your bathroom will be extremely chaotic. A messy bathroom is therefore something you absolutely want to avoid, and that is why 'less is more' applies. So always give priority to quality, and not quantity.

Reuse quality elements

You really don't have to replace all the plumbing. If there are things of which the operation is still optimal, you can easily reuse it. Is the shower cubicle for example, not in need of replacement at all? Then simply clean it.
This is how you make sustainable choices, which also saves you money in your wallet.

Provide enough (built-in) storage space

Ideally, your cupboard space is built-in or located under the sink to save space. But when you can't, choose a cabinet that is not built-in.
Clutter lying around will quickly reduce the space in your bathroom, and let that be just what you don't want. Moreover, you will find your things faster on a hectic morning.

Pay extra attention to joints

The choice of tile is important for a beautiful appearance, but don't forget the importance of grouting. It seals out dirt and water, compensates for small size differences between individual tiles and strengthens installations. Does it concern tiles in a damp area such as the douche? Then choose synthetic grout. Cementitious grout is suitable for other areas.
