Where is the toilet relative to the shower and vanity? Do you have to squeeze through the 22" opening to get to the toilet?

Hi! Well, we're still not finished with this DIY bathroom...so all I can really tell you is that I do still like the floor ;-) We have a solatube in the ceiling, though, so it's a relatively bright room (it's a window-less closet otherwise). I don't have a picture to show the layout, but basically when you walk in the door the vanity/sink is right there, across from the entry, and the door can only open a bit over 90 degrees or it hits the wall. To the right of the sink is the toilet, and to the right of that is the shower/tub combo. It's cost-prohibitive for us to move anything around layout-wise. We couldn't add any storage beyond the vanity, except with shelves above the toilet or hooks/bars on the wall. Honestly, for me the best solution to storage problems in our small house is to streamline and de-clutter. All. The. Time.

The best I can figure is the Dumawall is an interlocking panel system. The panels may be waterproof but there still is a joint. Porcelain tile is waterproof as well. Its the joints and the installation where things fail. I would suggest you get a sample of that stuff before ordering it.. I would think it is going to be a cheap plastic. You might as well get a nice acrylic set of walls before doing that. Do some more homework before you decide...and do what's best for you... Good luck!

Well, I actually moved the bathroom to the other side of the house when I redid the plumbing, so the size and layout changed. Still small, though, since my house is small. I did the Houzz no-no of installing a freestanding tub and shower in a small space. :) I also didn't install wall tile. But, my renovation feedback is get multiple quotes and use contractors who are recommended by people you know. Do enough research to know what should be done, such as for waterproofing or lighting, and the different methods for doing it. You do not need to become an expert. Ask the opinions of the experts, within the parameters you've set. Spend your money on things that matter. Design the bathroom with your needs in mind. I hate cleaning around the toilet base, so I chose a wall mount toilet. Sink is wall mounted, too. I chose tile and colors that went with the rest of the house. My storage solutions are mostly shelves and hooks. We don't have a lot of bathroom stuff, though. If you are stuck on design choices, I would recommend replicating a bathroom you like. Finally, plan for delays (old, small house here!) and overages.
