5 Sustainability Mistakes You're Probably Making in Your Bathroom That Are Undermining Your Eco-Conscious Efforts

A bathroom with black and white chequered floor tiles, a large tub, a wooden vanity, and a walk-in shower.

If you take pride in your eco-credentials, your bathroom design mustn't let you down. Regardless of your dedication to your zero-waste pledge or your commitment to buying sustainable toilet roll, an ill-conceived bathroom design comes with a hefty carbon footprint, and there are plenty of common mistakes that can make your space less sustainable.

The thing is, eco bathroom designs aren't merely about reducing your energy consumption (although that's a good place to start).
