When choosing tiles for a renovation, most people focus on the obvious things first: colour, size, finish, and price. But one of the biggest surprises homeowners experience happens after installation, when the tile suddenly looks darker, busier, warmer, cooler, or more patterned than it did in the showroom.

A bathroom renovation can add comfort, style, and value, but it also involves dozens of connected choices that affect how the space looks and performs long-term. This guide breaks down 10 key things to consider, from planning the layout and choosing practical tiles to selecting shower screens, tapware finishes, storage, ventilation, and waterproofing. It also highlights the “small details” that often get missed and explains why finalising selections early helps avoid delays and costly mistakes.
