Bathroom renovation tips: epoxy grout choice and common design mistakes

Interior designer Eliz Garner recommends using epoxy grout for bathroom tiles. The epoxy material is water‑proof, resists mold and stains, and retains its appearance longer than traditional cement grout, making cleaning easier and extending tile life.

Designers Molly Torres Portnof, Bradie Fisher and Stephanie Brown highlight frequent errors homeowners make after bathroom remodels. These include insufficient storage niches for toiletries, selecting decorative tiles that quickly go out of style, overlooking under‑floor heating that adds comfort and resale value, and not planning adequate cabinets and drawers. They advise sizing storage spaces, avoiding overly trendy tiles, and installing heating systems during the initial renovation to avoid costly later upgrades.
