1. If you plan on hanging an individual framed mirror over each sink, make sure that when you plan your cabinets that you get the sink cabinets wide enough so that you have room to hang a large enough mirror over the cabinet centered on the sink. 2. Make sure you plan everything so that all doors and drawers have enough room to swing/pull open and not hit or block anything. 3. Add a separate light switch on the panel for the under cabinet lighting near the floor so it can be on at night by itself as a night light. 4. Make sure you have enough outlets around the vanity area and in the right places to be useful. 5. Reinforce behind the dry wall where you plan to hang your towel bars (dry wall alone is usually not strong enough to support towel bars and they eventually start pulling out of the dry wall). 6. If you're using the same flooring as the hallway (or space where you enter into the bathroom), make sure you have enough material to continue it into the bathroom so the pattern is seamless. 7. Mix your metals. Bathrooms are a perfect place for mixed metals with the sink faucets, towel bars, shower fixtures, cabinet hardware, lighting. 8. Make plans to have a lighting fixture hang in the room from the ceiling in the appropriate place. Think of where your over head lighting should be.
