Tiny Guest Bathroom layout- will this work?
Hi All
We have a guest bath that is ~32 square feet and I'd love your thoughts/comments.
The main use will be for guests using the WC and more rarely house guests+ one of our kids using the shower.
We will need minimal storage, mainly TP and some toiletries. We will have a recessed medicine cabinet and a cabinet above the toilet so I'm not too concerned about a lack of storage.
There is a sliding pocket door for the entrance.
We found a compact toilet that is ~24.5 inches and are currently debating between a small pedestal sink or a shallow sink with vanity ( both ~10 inches deep). The vanity will give us some storage but I feel like the pedestal will make it look more open. Any thoughts on this?
Sink Choice 1
Choice 2
The shower is 32 inches wide and 48-54 inches long-this will have a frameless sliding door
The questions I have are:
We have 32 inches *3 feet space that will be used by the toilet, sink and shower (not at the same time:). Any concerns about this, I know its small but we cannot make this any wider.
Can we consider getting a slightly deeper vanity and encroach into this space a little more (maybe 16 inches vs current 10 inches)
3. I was considering a grey and white scheme for the toilet, will that be too dark for the space?
4. My last unresolved concern is space for hanging towels etc. I can have hooks on either side of the sink- I cannot find a sliding door with a horizontal handle to allow towels to hang on. Will this work?
Any other concerns? Thanks so much:-)

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 Morenarrow guest bathroom layout help please!
Comments (5)Is there a reason that someone would need to use the laundry room when someone was using the bathroom? Could you instead, have the bathroom door be where your laundry room door is and just leave it at that? Of, if you want separation of spaces, put another door for the laundry under the stairs, but beyond the current bathroom door, thereby allowing for more front-of-toilet space (by making the bathroom somewhat L shaped)? Alternatively, is the laundry room up for remodel as well?...See MoreHelp with Guest & Master bathroom layout / design
Comments (26)Mrs Pete! You little devil! I've been called worse, but not since school ended two weeks ago. Seriously, I was glad to be helpful. After looking at the full-house layout, I have two pieces of advice: - Beware over-improving the bathroom. This is a small house with small bedrooms. It feels like a house in which a simple 3-piece bath would be appropriate in the master. Not what you want to hear, but I think it's solid financial advice. - Second, bummer, but I don't see any better options for the laundry, and everything I drew was predicated on moving the laundry elsewhere /having that bit more space. This pix below is a nice idea ... but do you have the space for it? Someone help me here ... a curb-less shower must slope 1/2" per foot /requires 4' of space. At least it's sloping away from the tub. This type of shower is expensive for a new build ... extremely expensive as an addition to an existing house ... and essentially impossible if you have a slab foundation (do you know what type of foundation you have?). The bathroom, as it exists now, is 6'4" across ... so 4' for the slope leaves 28" for the tub and the entrance to the shower. You could use a shorter piece of shower glass, but that would leave you with trip hazzard in the spot where the floor transitions. You could do this WITH A CURB. It would eliminate the slope problems, and without the clawfoot tub, you're eliminating the problems of cleaning around the tub....See MoreHave you followed the Tiny Bathroom Layout thread?
Comments (12)There’s one active thread that has over 22,000 comments. Many of these long ass threads are the same posters chatting, and JAN coming on fussing at everyone. Whatever, cool, but I agree with Oly — they bump new threads down with ”Would a light blue, semi light blue, medium blue, darker medium blue, dark blue, or very dark blue pillow look better here?” I think Houzz should move them to the “Other” board, but they never ask me....See Moreyosemite1234

7 years agoHere are pics. Still waiting on shower door (sliding) and medicine cabinet. We all used it and found it compact but actually quite comfortable. Thanks for all the advice. The 16inch vanity does not feel shallow at all and fits in well. We did have to have this custom made but helped the room come together well.
