Bathroom remodel- Should I install an undersized tub?
Comments (14)Thank you all so much for your input! I'll let you know how we proceed. It is true that it is a large bathroom. However, the left hand wall has a large window that limits options. I really like the light and changing the window size would increase costs too much. I've decided to keep a tub. Next, I need to figure out which tub will look and feel the best- the MTI or the Andrea 17. Also, I'll check out the tubs a couple of you mentioned. I think I will place the tub faucet centered on the tub platform closest to the wall. By not having it on the end, I hope to gain shower space. It will be a little awkward to reach, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice....See MoreBathroom electical Qs: how many outlets, tub light requirement?

Comments (7)There are no hard and fast rules for tile orientation. You can run them whichever way looks best to you. My daughter and my son both recently redid their bathrooms and put 12x24 tiles stacked vertically on the walls. They didn't have to decide on vertical vs horizontal for the floor because they used 24x24 squares on the floor. In my bath I have 10x13 vertical on the walls and 18x18 on the diagonal on the floor. IMO the large square tiles make their small floor spaces look bigger. Do your tiles come in squares too? Maybe you could put them on the floor. If you stay with the 12x24s on the floor placing then horizontal ( long side parallel to the tub may make your room look wider). You can still put the wall tiles whichever way you want. Here's a couple shots of my DD's tiles Good luck in your remodel....See MoreBathroom remodel: what to put in place of the tub?
Comments (8)If you could do a drawing on graph paper of the current layout and measurements (a bird's-eye view), that would help people respond. Be sure to include where the toilet is, the closet, the bedroom adjoining etc. And tell us what the windows are looking out onto - a street? the backyard? There are pros on this forum that can offer really good advice, but a drawing will help a lot....See Moretest business
