Really need help with bathroom layout
Comments (2)That's an interesting idea - I wonder how much more it would cost to do that - would I be able to move the toilet that far forward? It's a townhouse and I'm just not sure about the quality of the original construction or if I'd want to be in the bath tub when someone else is walking through to get to the closet. I'll keep it in mind but I think I'd rather stay closer to where all the water and plumbing lines are currently located to keep costs down....See MoreBathroom layout help
Comments (11)HU-187528210, Toilet move to existing shower would be a you-know-what big deal with drains and plumbing. Reason I thought of it was it would be more private there. Hubby is capable and competent, but we've been renoing our 1964 house and we're middle aged, and this is a retirement house in 3 years and he doesn't want to compromise messing with integrity of plumbing in case a home owner's insurance would be in order down the road, that they would question our doing it ourselves. He was a SeaBee in the Navy and has worked on commercial properties since the 80s. To pay for it would be quite an ordeal. We both have bad backs and I'm a klutz. While I've dreamed of a tub like that all my life, but never had one, the real estate it takes up versus the actual present size of the shower, the potential difficulty of getting in and out of the tub just seems like a curbless or very small lip might be better an accommodation for advancing ages......See MoreNeed help with lighting and fan layout for bathrooms
Comments (6)Both our existing and new bathroom are similar to your bathroom 3--rectangles with all the fixtures in the main space. We are using the same lighting for the new one as for the current, since we are happy with it. For that, we have a fan/light combo centered in the space, and then two sconces on either side of the medicine cabinet. In the new bathroom, we're using a humidity sensor switch, because our state's current code requires either that or a sensor in the fan itself. (The fan sensors are supposed to work better, but don't allow for manually turning the fan on and off, and we wanted to be able to do that.) In our current bathroom the fan is on a timer (but my kids constantly forget to turn it on, so that's high on my list to change out based on how we like the sensor switch in the new bathroom). Our sconces are on vacancy sensor switches (also required by our state code) and both are switched at the vanity rather than at the wall with the ceiling light. I had actually forgotten until I read through an old thread I posted here that this was not our preferred configuration when we updated the electrical in the existing bath 8 years ago--but as it turns out, we really like that setup so replicated it in the new bath. In your Bathrooms 1 and 2, though, it looks like you have walls separating the toilet room and the shower. Assuming those are full walls, you would want lighting for those areas separately from the main room. There, I'd probably use a fan in the shower area, and then light the toilet and sink areas separately....See MoreNeed help with layout of master bedroom and bathroom!
Comments (0)Please help with the layout of my room and bedroom! Here are 2 options the architect drew up but it is still not what we want. It will be vaulted ceiling so the bed must be centered. And the bed must face out towards the doors because we have water views from there. Ideally I wanted a massive closet like it shows in one of the pics 7x16 I think, but the issue was that the architect moved the entrance to the room but we can’t do that because the laundry is behind. I thought of moving the closet down into the room towards the windows and doors, but then my ceiling won’t be proportioned on both sides because the side with the closet will end and there will be a wall for the closet (hope this makes sense lol)....See Moredeb s
