10 Biggest Mistakes In Bathroom Design and Styling

A bathroom, though seemingly small, can be a misleadingly complex renovation project. A bathroom renovation deserves just as much design attention as any other room in the house! It is surprising the number of mistakes that can be made for the uninitiated.
Did you know that a bathroom can use up to 6 separate trades to complete the renovation? A carpenter, gyprocker, electrician, plumber, water-proofer, tiler and painter! You need to go into this renovation completely prepared so as not to delay the trades.

Sally, a new build and renovation specialist, will not only explain how to avoid these missteps during the planning phase, but also offer clever solutions for rectifying them in existing bathrooms.
