Bathroom Design in Carrboro: what to know
Bathroom design in Carrboro is often about making the most of very little space and respecting the character of an older house. Mill houses and other older homes reward simple, classic materials, such as subway tile, hex floors and straightforward fixtures, that suit the period.
For rental properties, design priorities shift toward durability, easy cleaning and standard, easy-to-replace parts.
Either way, the design stage is when you decide what to fix behind the walls in an older house: leveling, supply lines, ventilation and wiring.
