Do you have pictures or vanity between toilet and bathtub?

15 years ago

Hi all, I wonder if anyone has a small bathroom where the vanity is sandwich between the toilet and the bathtub? I know it's common pratice to have the toilet in the middle so it's next to the bathtub but due to our door location, I would rather walk into the area facing the sink than facing the toilet. Or is it weird to walk into the toilet right away? I hope I make sense. Please give me your thoughts. The bathroom width is only 5'.

THanks!

My vanity is in the middle. Bathroom is larger than yours tho but maybe seeing the placement will help.

Hi Monica, you're the one with the Toto washlet :) I enjoyed that thread so much :) Thinking of getting one myself for the master's bath.
Thanks for sending the pictures. I feel a lot better now.

Sorry here is the vanity and top. - hard to see, but the top is one solid piece, and it has white and cream colors blended together. my wall color is going to be a soft grey, and the floor will be a grey/ tan / cream combo. we are un decided yet if we are going to use a tub surround, or if we will have it tiled - which looks best? Which is easier to keep clean? have not yet decided on faucets, the tub needs to have it own special faucet ( exclusive to the tub). so that is taken care off already. thank you if you can provide any help.

space between vanity and tub a good idea?
Q

I bought my current apartment without much space there and cannot clean the dirt that has collected over the years by the old owner. I am renovating and one of my first thoughts was - keep space between tub and vanity. I am leaving 4-6" due to the small size of the bathroom. If you have the space then definitely leave some space there else dirt will collect and you won't be able to clean.

What do you have on the wall above your master bath tub?
Q

I have 2 windows (with faux wood blinds covering them thank you) at right angles above the tub in the master bath, so no wall art there. However, I do have a prominent piece of wall separating 2 mirrors over our vanities.........This wall is crying for something but I haven't found it. The other day, I saw some really pretty decorative wall clocks and have been thinking about that. For some reason I wasn't sure if it would be odd to have a pretty wall clock hanging there, although honestly it kind of makes sense. What do you think? The ones I saw (at Ross or TJMaxx) were round and had nice detailed frames. I am linking a nice substantial one I just saw on the o site, just wondering what the decorating experts here think of a decorative clock as a piece of décor in a bathroom.square not round but a pretty clock

I know this is an old thread. I'm comtemplating if I want a tub at all but if I get an air or a jetted tub, if the sides have stone around, how do you reach the motor if you need a repair? Just curious if anyone has dealt with that situation. For my current outdated tub, I can reach the motor through the the cabinet; I have a cut out there. I could do the same thing. But adding a slab of quartz to a tub make for a very expensive tub. Dominique, what did you decide and are you happy with your decision?

I used to have that placement before reno of our small bathroom (5x7) and did not like it. The vanity itself was much smaller because of space needed between tub/vanity and vanity/toilet vs one side of vanity being on the wall. The toilet couldn't be right on the wall as well, so there was a lot of wasted space. Also, our door opened up on the toilet not the vanity.

I switched to more traditional order of tub, toilet, vanity. There is much more usable space now. This required modifying the pipes for the toilet which is not cheap, so make sure you factor that into your decision.
