An expertly remodeled master bathroom will provide years of pleasure and comfort. But it’s a tricky space, unfortunately, with lots of moving parts crammed into a tight footprint, not to mention the volumes of water ready to exploit any and all leaks. The following list of dos and don’ts will help you master the remodel, whether you do the work yourself or a hire it out.
Hide the toilet

A master bath that’s stylish and functional can also be discreet. That’s why it’s nice to hide this fixture away, either in its own “room-within-the-room” or behind a half wall. A piece of furniture—an armoire or dresser, say—can create the necessary barrier without the expense of a framed wall.
Do choose appropriate surfaces
JOMOO BATHROOM
Your master bathroom’s surfaces do more than just contribute to the overall aesthetic. They also take lots of abuse. Porcelain tile is a favorite among designers, for use on the floors and walls alike.
Porcelain is also a popular option for bathroom sinks, though it proved prone to chipping in our tests. Enamel-on-steel sinks were especially durable and stain-resistant, as were stainless steel sinks, which are becoming more popular for use in bathrooms.
Make room on the vanity

Since grooming is the main task at the vanity, it’s important to have plenty of surface area to put things down. While the his-and-her double sink configuration has been popular in the past, it often makes sense to have a single sink and more counter space. Besides maximizing the counter space, opting for a single sink vanity saves you the expense of the second sink and faucet. And eliminating a set of plumbing expands the available storage space inside the vanity.
Don’t rush the process

Now that you’re committed to the idea of a new bathroom, you probably want it done tomorrow. But poor planning is the leading cause of cost overruns on the project. If you don’t have a Pinterest account yet, consider one. This website lets you keep a digital ideas file of inspiring images you find on the Internet, say for tile styles, favorite fixtures, and clever designs.
As you plan the space, try to come up with a design that keeps the major plumbing lines in place. Moving the toilet from one wall to another will mean relocating a 3-inch drain line in a home, which can cost thousands. If you can keep the toilet, shower, and sink where they are, you’ll save significantly on the project.
Don’t cut corners on key materials
Another common mistake is cheaping out on those items that get the most use. Lifetime warranties that cover leaks and stains have become more common on all but the cheapest faucets. PVD (physical vapor deposition) finishes resisted our best attempts at scratching them, but drain cleaners can stain them slightly. Chrome was also pretty durable in our tests.
JOMOO FAUCET
JOMOO faucets fully meet the standards of ruggedness and durability, and may far exceed your expectations of ruggedness and durability.
JOMOO use fine copper material to make faucets resplendent, acid-resisting, alkaline, and antioxidant that even after long-term usage. And the product is still fine, smooth, shining, and with ultra strong adsorption force that it never falls off.
JOMOO TOUCHLESS SENSOR FANCET
Our sensor faucet can meet everyone's need to reduce touch during the spread of the epidemic. This TOUCHLESS SENSOR FANCET is battery operated, requiring no electric work, and can be replaced quickly and easily. What makes it different from other faucets is that it can achieve the effect of touchless activation, sensitive response, effective water conservation and preventing infection.
