Bedroom/Bathroom Layout Help! Jack & Jill or Not?
Comments (28)our new build is incorporating a J&J for the kids also. Here's the space from our drawings I don't know how it translates to the space you have, but hopefully it helps. I wanted the kids to have the ability to go to the bathroom/brush their teeth/get ready if someone else was in the shower. Plus the privacy, etc. etc. We had the ability to accommodate two full baths, but found the extra cost to be unnecessary (it was a few thousand in extra plumbing, fixtures, materials). It also meant that each would be a smaller bathroom, versus a nice size J&J. I'm really happy with the decision so far!...See MoreHelp me design 5' x 9.5' bathroom!! Thanks.
Comments (16)Math does not lie is all anyone is saying. You do not have room for anything other than what you have. Plenty of bathrooms have that layout and it is fine. Get over any ideas of some other layout. Ain’t happening. Especially on a limited budget. Hire a K&B designer sooner rather than later if you cannot get enough initial inspiration from the 10M bath pictures in this site. Just be careful of the $$$ trap that all the pretty pictures will create for you if try to emulate them without a similar large budget to what produced them.

Comments (31)Thank you everyone for the suggestions. Really appreciated. @Carrie B I don't want families, couples, or kids. I am targeting people in their late twenties/thirties with whom I have things in common. I am very selective. 99% are people visiting the universities for a few months or travel nurses. Currently, I have a Pediatrician (last year of residency), a lab technician, and a travel nurse. And I am % sure in Gainesville you do not need a permit if you live in the house and you are homestead, I asked the city. @palimpsest it is my house, I am renting rooms just for a few extra years. The closet can be smaller, I can extend the bathroom toward the closet. Having a 5'x8' or 5'x7' bathroom on that corner is not an option, it would ruin that beautiful room @Greg GN Builders., That is a good point, but I can enlarge toward the bottom of the drawing and move the sink to create space for the person to walk. @latifolia Below is the entire floorplan Going back to the original question. I want to figure out if I can get this 4th bathroom in a way that it will increase house price values and do not look weird. What is the minimum depth of the bathroom that you think would be enough? See below the full floor plan. As you see, on the top right, there is already a 34x34 shower in the previous master bathroom (the part on the bottom of the drawing is a 2008 addition the previous owner made, the part where I live). The upper two-third of the drawing is the old house (1959). No one complained about the 34x34 shower or small bathroom and everyone was happy to pay $1400 a month for that room. Questions again are: 1) can I make the wall (which separates room from bathroom) 2.5" thick by rotating 2x4 studs (so 1.5" stud + 2x0.5" drywalls) or just using 2x2s? That would bring the bathroom shower to 34x34. 2) Can I do a pocket door on a 2'5" wall? 3) With the same studs, I could bring the wall between the proposed bathroom and the room on its left down to 2'5". Which would bring the new bathroom up to 36" of depth. 4) If I need an even deeper bathroom, I could move the wall by 5" into the next room. As you see the window is off-centered by exactly 5" in that room, moving the wall by 5" would bring the depth of the bathroom to 39" or 41" depending on executing only (1) or also (2). Honestly, I would prefer not to move that wall, it is an extra cost. What do you guys think?...See MoreHow do you like this open concept bathroom (no bathroom-bedroom wall)
Comments (26)I'll be a contrarian. I would never knowingly rent a room with a shared bathroom in the hall. That would be a complete pass - I don't even like having to use a hallway bathroom in a sleeping situation in which I would share with friends and family because if I need to use it in the night I would have to wake up more/get more decently dressed and I hate having to shlep stuff to take a shower or perform normal grooming stuff in a bathroom. I don't have the horror of viewing a toilet from a bedroom that some houzzers seem to have. It certainly wouldn't bother me on a temporary basis. I have a master bath in my home and I can't remember the last time I actually shut the door. I don't have issues with smells or humidity but perhaps that is because my Toto washlet has a built in deodorizer AND I have an excellent Panasonic fan which runs based on ambient humidity levels. I don't generally even have condensation on shower doors or mirrors after exiting let along huge amounts of humidity wafting through my bedroom. The question really is one of economics. There is a cost to installing the bathroom and OP would need to decide whether they would make up the expense by having increased rent and/or renting it out more frequently. Certainly any prospective renter would see a picture and determine whether they wanted the ensuite with a curtain in the room or use of a bathroom in the hall. Also resale value is a red herring. At such point that OP wanted to sell it would be relatively inexpensive to convert the bathroom into a closet if having the ensuite in that room was a negative....See Moreweedyacres
