Install vapor barriers after the bathroom s plumbing electrical and insulation are complete. When moisture becomes trapped in walls mold and mildew can grow damaging your home and presenting a potential health danger. Liquid barriers may also be used to prevent moisture from getting into the walls. It s almost always a bad idea to run water supply lines in an exterior wall but in rare cases usually for aesthetic reasons it might be necessary.

Place the insulation slabs or batts inside the wall cavity between the studs. Proper insulation will help keep your bathrooms a comfortable temperature year round. Bathroom projects need special consideration because of the humidity and moisture that bathrooms generate. These absorb noise and won t be damaged by normal bathroom heat or humidity.

Cork flooring tiles are another attractive alternative option. They are painted on surfaces and form a waterproof seal over drywall. To reduce echoes arrange the room so that two sections of flat wall face each other. Investing a little bit in insulation saves money in the long haul on energy bills.

Add shelves racks or other accessories put up a painting or hang potted plants on the walls or from the ceiling.
