Bathroom design dilemma
Comments (2)Sophie, thanks very much for responding, and for your suggestion. Our contractor has has already removed most of the floor and will remove the toilet to demo the last pieces of floor once we’ve purchased new flooring. After installing the new flooring, he will re-attach our current toilet. We bought our current toilet 2 yrs ago; it’s a Koehler Santa Rosa model, and we decided to keep it as the only ones we like better are “through-the-wall” types....See MorePlease help me design my small accessible/universal designed bathroom
Comments (4)Contractors do not design. They build. You need an actual K&B designer. You have a very restrictive space to get all that you want without turning it into a wet room. You, and your husband especially, need to educate yourself on modern waterproofing systems and how a wet room is properly created. The Schluter system will offer a lifetime warranty if their products are used from start to finish, including their thinset. Look at their YouTube channel. And don’t be so sure that your choice tractor can actually do this properly. Especially if he hasn’t had the wetroom and waterproofing conversation with you. Read below, and have a tough conversation with him on all points raised. https://www.ceramictilefoundation.org/homeowners-guide-to-hiring-qualified-tile-installer...See MoreSmall bathroom / tub configuration dilemma
Comments (6)I am not a lover of old tubs and I like saokers . But that said I need a to scale floor plan of the whole space and also what is next to it and out the hall.There is no way to know what size tub without gutting the space BTW and forget corner tubs never a good choice.I think you have space for the length since that cabinet storage can be removed. Gut the bathoom then you will see exactly how much space you have. Find a friend where you can shower and get the pumber to make sure the toilet functions every night....See MoreBathroom vanity and shower/tub design dilemma
Comments (9)I think a much smaller vanity would be really terrific! I have strange bathroom dimensions too, and there was this odd custom vanity that was meant to maximize storage. After much, much deliberation and agonizing about losing storage space, I finally decided to get rid of the old vanity and just get a smaller one -- and now I'm really glad I did. Mine is only 24" x 18" deep, and it's got three drawers so I can still fit major necessities in there. And we found a little floor-standing metal shelving unit at our local Homesense (like a Marshalls) which is absolutely perfect -- it provides extra storage space right next to the new vanity; it can be easily pulled away for quick cleaning and it helps lend an openness/airiness to the otherwise-cramped space. I think a 36" (or wider if it fits easily) x 18" vanity can look great in your space! Here's an example from Home Depot, although if you're getting yours custom made you could add drawers etc: If you go with a smaller vanity, then you could also put a "rolling storage bath shelf" like this one beside it, which would solve some of the problems you identified including being able to access for cleaning: :)...See Morewdccruise
