Combing Laundry and Bathroom in small room!
I am trying to renovate our bathroom in a small apartment we have just bought to do up. Currently the layout feels wrong but I'm not sure whether just decorating and updating would be enough or whether moving things around would give it a nicer feel. I'd love some ideas... The room is 7 foot 9" x 6 foot 2". Window is 3.3"x3.3". We need a shower, toilet, basin and washing machine in the room. Currently as you look into the bathroom you see the toilet and basin, the shower is on the right of the toilet and the washing machine is behind the door.

Is this possible? mudroom/laundry room/bathroom layout
Comments (6)Thanks, I was thinking if we did fit in a shower & toilet, we'd definitely want some way to make it more private. Right now there's actually a wall that goes from above the garage door on the left to the kitchen doorway. I was thinking if we kept that, maybe we could make it a pocket door so that it could be open most of the time unless someone needed privacy? This is what the current layout is. We have the freezer in the room labeled Util. and it's so cramped and hard to open the washer & dryer....See MoreAdd a laundry room in 3/4 bathroom
Comments (13)I HATED having my washer and drier in the garage - an unairconditioned garage at that. So it was AWFULLY hot - in Florida. And we did park our vehicles in the garage, so it was not full of junk, as someone has suggested. So I understand your want for it to be inside. You'll just have to measure your space and get measurements for the units you're considering to see if they will fit. Get someone out there, tell him what you want, and ask if it's possible and if he can do it, and at what cost. I'd do it, too. Wouldn't care about "resell", as I AM THE ONE who is living there and doing the laundry - not some potential person who may not even exist. Make your home comfortable for YOU, not someone who may buy your house IF you decide to sell, and then will redo it anyway....See MoreBathroom/ laundry room/ kitchennett critique

Comments (17)Your sketch dimensions are a bit confusing. In the first one, it looks like the rooms were drawn with 6" per squares, but then the hall doesn't follow that. The second one appears to have a scale of 2' per square and does seem more in proportion, but both are missing a number of dimensions and aren't drawn precisely enough to guess. If you give the dimensions for everything that needs to stay (so exterior walls, plumbing you don't intend to move, etc.), we can try to help you with configuration options. Remember that walls have a thickness ... Bathrooms can be added on a slab, but it requires planning and trenching into the slab to lay the plumbing, so I can understand why you might want to avoid that. It would be helpful to know which parts are on the slab more precisely than the back vs. the front, particularly since I would have thought where you initial suggesting adding the small bath would be in the back ... suzanne, I think what you're referring to is the door between the two rooms....See More

8 years agoI thought through your space and I think the layout you have is probably the best considering cost/benefit. If the toilet was rotated counter-clockwise so it faces the shower, you could install a wider (42" wide) vanity but you'd lose the medicine cabinet (?) and moving a waste line would probably be cost prohibitive.

8 years agoHow about enlarging your shower and putting a half wall between the shower and washing machine. Would that work? I'm not sure you are getting a lot more room, but I think a partial or full wall between the shower and washing machine would be nice. A half wall would feel more open and maybe you could do a small wall cabinet above the was
