Help with guest bathroom remodel. Change or not?
Comments (10)Hey Dwojnar, Thanks for posting your picture. Our guest bathroom is a similar shape and door opening but different configuration. We will be updating this bathroom someday soon and thus I have been looking at possibilities too. I disagree with other posters and I say if you are really bothered by the toilet then move it. My suggestion is to move it to the long wall next to it. By placing it there, it is partially blocked by the shower wall and maybe it is possible to bring that wall a few more inches to further block the long view. If you keep the toilet there, then I would place something very visually interesting on that part of the shower wall just inside the door that is on the sight line to the toilet. By placing a tiled mural or something that catches people's eye, they will focus on that and not the toilet view. Another idea is to run a curtain from the shower wall to the wall by the toilet or from the toilet wall out to a freestanding pole or tower stack and block the view of the toilet that way. My last suggestion is a big large plant could go in there which would add a fresh green touch to the room along with fresh air. Have fun!...See MoreHelp with guest bathroom, please

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 MoreHelp with bathrooms. Divide to two bathrooms or do one large bathroom?
Comments (15)I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?...See More- 4 years agoJ Gaskill thanked Sina Sadeddin Architectural Design
