How best to size the toilet closet in our bathroom remodel?
Comments (37)"Will you need a fan and or light in the enclosed area?" We actually have one unit in the ceiling above the toilet that has a fan and light built in...we might get a new nicer-looking unit to replace the old one but that should be an easy upgrade. "I like that last setup you showed." Me too, but I'm still not sure whether to go with a barn door or pocket door. I think barn door has the advantage of an easier installation, but a pocket door probably could be installed leaving more room in the toilet closet. A barn door would probably look cleaner from outside the toilet closet, since you wouldn't see the hardware or the door when opened. "It would be nice to have the toilet centered in that space, but if you can keep the center of the toilet 18 inches from the sliding glass door on the wall, you should be fine." That's my worry...the toilet is currently offset slightly closer to the closet...it is about 19" from the center of the toilet to that wall, and 22" to the other wall. With a barn door installed there I imagine we wouldn't keep 18" unless we shift over the toilet. I don't know yet how expensive that would be. A smoked glass insert across from the toilet as in that pic might be the way to go. Then I still have the question of whether that wall should be flush with the window recess or set in a little. I'm thinking maybe flush with the window would be best to leave as much depth as possible for the toilet closet, and fewer edges/angles on the other side of the wall outside of the toilet closet.

Comments (9)I've always loved this one...and yes it is pricey! Google it and you can find it elsewhere for a little bit cheaper. As I recall, there was some sight that had it in white, black and this distressed color. I never bought it cause I've not had the right bathroom for it. The one I did buy came from Lowe's and it matches the vanity I bought there. It was substantially cheaper then the one I linked, but I've just always loved this one. I will try to find a link to the one I bought.....I'm not sure it's on line. HTH, pup Here is a link that might be useful: Cottage valet...See MoreWhat size vanity for 5'6"ft wall shared with toilet?
Comments (16)No, the toilet does NOT go in a 30" wide space. There needs to be 15" minimum clear space from the center of the toilet on EACH side. If the center of the toilet is exactly 30" to the wall on one side, then yes you could put it in a 30" space. But if the center of the toilet is, say, 30" to the wall, you would still need 15" from the center to the other side, for a total of 45". Measure the distance from the center of the toilet to the wall, add 15", and subtract that total from the length of the wall. That is how much room you have for a vanity in this situation....See MoreMove Toilet to Increase Vanity Size?
Comments (3)Moving the toilet is expensive. It involves the supply line, the waste line, repairing the subfloor, repairing the tile / replacing vinyl, patching the wall and paint/finish. If you are going to sell the house in a couple of years, it would not make sense from a financial standpoint at all. Just because it bugs you, doesn't mean that the next owner will find it to be a problem - at least not during the time they are making a purchasing decision. The money is better spent on simple updates (paint, light fixtures, etc)....See MoreUser
