The 5 Most Common Mistakes When Decorating a Bathroom (and How to Avoid Them)
One of the most common mistakes is not respecting proportions . Overly bulky furniture and fixtures weigh down the space, while elements that are too small seem to "lose strength" in large spaces.
Before choosing:
-
Measure the spaces well
-
Evaluate the opening of doors and drawers
-
Consider the transition between sink, shower and toilet

Overlooking the importance of light
Poorly positioned lighting can compromise even the most beautiful bathroom . Incorrect reflections in the mirror , shadows, and cold lighting in relaxing spaces all impact comfort and functionality.
The advice is to combine:
-
Functional light (above the mirror)
-
Ambient light (warmer and softer)
-
Maybe even an accent light for details or niches

Not paying attention to details (accessories, taps, finishes)
Many people think that faucets , towel racks, dispensers, and accessories are secondary details. In reality, they are the ones that make the difference , both visually and in the user experience.
-
Taps that are too classic in a modern bathroom create dissonance
-
Mixed finishes (e.g. gold + steel + black) create confusion
-

Ignoring materials and maintenance
When choosing a sink or shower tray , we often look only at aesthetics. But over time, materials that aren't very durable or are difficult to clean can become a problem.
Avoid:
-
Porous surfaces in humid areas
-
Coatings that are too delicate
-
Materials not suitable for frequent contact with water or limestone
Choose surfaces like resin , stone-effect stoneware , stainless steel , or tempered glass . Durable, beautiful, and easy to maintain.
Thinking only about aesthetics, forgetting functionality
A bathroom should be beautiful, yes, but above all practical for everyday use . Too often, drawers, storage units, or countertops are sacrificed in pursuit of an aesthetic trend.
Ask yourself:
-
Where do I put the towels?
-
Is there enough space for everyday products?
-
Can I clean the surfaces easily?
Wall-hung bathroom furniture with integrated drawers and mirror cabinets is the ideal solution for a tidy and functional bathroom.
A well-designed bathroom makes the difference
Avoid these mistakes and carefully choose every element, even the smallest ones. A well-appointed bathroom is a space that combines aesthetics, comfort, and functionality. And above all, it reflects the people who use it every day.
