narrow guest bathroom layout help please!
Comments (4)Would you essentially just be getting new fixtures if you kept it as is? They would almost have to grandfather it then: if not it would mean that you couldn't replace a broken toilet in an old house. According to International Building Code, a toilet and a sink can have overlapping clearances, so part of the knee space for a toilet can extend under the sink (9 inches, I think). And if you did 30" on center for the toilet you would have 15" on one side and 15" + 12" on the other, so the sink could be on that side. (However, you may be required to put the toilet 36" on center which would give you 18" on one side and 18" +6" on the other)...See MorePlease Help with Bathroom Kitchen Layout
Comments (19)Hi Guys, took everyone's advice and I am currently working with an architect and engineer. This is the latest plans we have. Would love to get feedback from the community. The biggest change is moving the front door to the front top side of the house vs the old design where it's sitting toward the back of the house. By doing so we are able to move the bathroom to the back and reconfigure the house better....See MoreMaster Bathroom layout - help please!
Comments (3)Looks like you’ve got a fun project in mind! I don’t think glass shower doors would make your space seem too small, especially if you run the same flooring from the bathroom straight into the shower. To keep the layout more-or-less the same, you might reclaim the shower space as a second closet space. (Shoes only? Winter clothes?) Another thought might be to claim the water closet and linen closet space as walk-in closet space. Then you could turn the shower 90 degrees in the tub location and possibly use a no-door concept, entering by the window. The existing shower would be reconfigured for the water closet. The linen closet could be carved out of another corner for the walk-in closet somewhere. But that would be reducing the bathroom size overall, which you may not like. I agree you shouldn’t touch your outside walls. You seem to have plenty of space to work with, if it can be configured a little more efficiently....See Morebathroom layout help please
Comments (7)You could add a nice linen cabinet to the right of the shower. I have a freestanding one in my master bath and love that it adds a furniture piece to the space. It’s a nice mix to add to all of the cabinetry and fixtures in a typical bathroom. You could also make the double door into the closet a single door or pocket door to give more wall space. This would allow you to have a bench for seating for times when you physically need it or since your closet is connected to it you could sit to put on pants, socks, etc. I don’t think a 3’ aisle around island in closet is necessary. 2.5’ would be fine and then have a 3’ island, which would be great for folding clothes or for all those things that normally get dumped on a dresser....See Moretreasuretheday
