However, most house owners are not satisfied with the way their bathroom is designed and these sentiments are quite common.

The Problem
The bathroom is usually the room that receives the least attention in a house. It can be more of a chore than a soothing experience because of old features, dim lighting, and small room size. As noted in one of the research studies, an average bathroom remodeling ranges from $10,000 to $30,000, and to some, this is a huge amount. Homeowners get the wrong perception of cost and might hencehewit from executing necessary adjustments, therefore, leaving them in a place which does not serve their purpose.
Some of these common problems include:
- Insufficient storage: Most bathrooms do not have enough cupboard units, space for sanitary ware or towels or cleaning items which causes disorganization.
- Old designs: The modern sinks and tiles that are as per the current trends can make a room attractive but in a few months, this may not be the case.
- Uncomfortable layouts: Small space can not only get in the way of performing daily tasks but may also make one inefficient while working in that particular space.
These problems can become so annoying and create dissatisfaction which is not healthy for one’s appreciation of that particular place.
