OT: need help with bathroom cabinetry design today
Comments (1)Here's an example of a sink that is in the shape of a topo map. It's very cool and made of cement. Here is a link that might be useful: Topo Map Sink...See MoreDesign help needed for bathroom closet/cabinet
Comments (11)Mine is only 10" wide. This is a Rev-a-Shelf unit that my cabinet maker had to replace and make a custom unit instead. It only had a center track and it never closed properly, but it was a new design three years ago, and they may have worked out the kinks since then. These and the Hafele units come in several widths and heights. Notice that I have a deep cabinet over top. On my custom unit, the top and bottom shelves are 4" deep drawers. That would be better for the bath than metal bars so that smaller items don't slip through. But you could load that up with TP, cleaning and bathing supplies, hair dryers, etc., and have some flat shelves for towels. The shelves on my pantry have a small lip, unlike the metal bars shown here. The commercial pull-out pantries aren't cheap, but it looks like you've used nice finishes in the bathroom already. You might be able to have a door made to match your vanity. Barker Doors here in Oregon is one source....See MoreHi! I'm designing a new bathroom and I need help.
Comments (3)I do not understand the need for a toilet room inside a bathroom, they only work if they are like the rooms in Europe that are completely separate from each other . Who is going to use the toilet while you are brushing your teeth or having a nice relaxing soak. This is quite a large space and I think could benefit from a good designer to make it fabulous.Both of these show the smallest vanity possible , why?If you eliminate the separate toilet room the one with the tub could have a huge vanity....See MoreI'm redoing 4 bathrooms and need some design help!
Comments (12)This is not a design suggestion but it might be worth considering: automatic bath exhaust fans (or ones on timers) placed to actually be functional (preserves your investment); lighting that is sufficient within the bathroom as well in the shower/tub areas... towel hooks and racks placed to allow multiple towels to dry as well as within easy reach getting out of the shower; sufficient traction on the flooring (inside and outside of shower/tub); and materials/finishes that can be easily cleaned (the wood look tile is nice and will look sharp with minimal maintenance/refinishing). The pebble finish is dramatic but hard to keep clean. Finishes / colors that hide dirt are probably a plus. Good luck renovating; wish we had a place near the beach (we just rent every year!)....See MoreJAN MOYER
