Small Bathroom Help 6'6'' x 5'. Convert Bedroom to Bathroom?
Comments (17)You are going to want more than 32" for the toilet. 36" is standard (and perhaps even code in some areas???? Not here in Maine but I heard people saying that on other forums...) We have 34" and it feels fine but I dont think I'd want to go much tighter. You could solve that simply by flipping the closet and shower. So, have your shower -rotated 90 degrees and witha glass end wall- at the end of the tub (which is a nice setup you can see in many bathrooms, the tub deck can actually protrude under the shower glass wall and be a ledge or seat in the shower). Then the passageway moves to the left, and you can steal a bit of space from the other closet for the toilet. Either that of have a shorter vanity. 48" isn't a size I'd fight for. It's too short for a double vanity, really (unless you're using one of the new two-faucet 'trough" styles) so why not go down to 42" and have a better toilet area? For resale, though, you should consider a double vanity. Some people I guess expert truly huge ones, like at least 5+' long. But you CAN get smaller ones, Ikea has some great ones for tight spaces. But if you're not selling anytime soon, do what YOU like!! (But I still think you'll want more toilet space...)...See More5ft by 6ft bathroom help
Comments (42)selfridge74, I wish I could upload too as we are quite pleased with it all. But I pulled out my Bathroom file just now and it is actually called a 36 " not 32" shower. I guess the larger distance from corner to outer curve. It is MAAX Intuition Neo round 36" on this link. http://www.maax.com/en/products/shower-doors/corner/intuition-neoround The round ones are more fully rounded while these have a bit of a straight edge from each wall, then round out at the front only. It's a bit of a space saver. You can get plastic interior walls or just the floor and door and tile it, which we did. To the left of our shower we put our vanity with the back against same wall as shower and left side against the wall. There is a 6" gap between the right side of the vanity and the shower base, so its easy to clean in between them and doesn't look crowded. On the other side of the shower, (right angle, is our toilet on the short 5'5" wall. We got a Foremost Allery which had very good ratings, was one of the few round bowl designs so the bowl doesn't protrude quite as much, but elongated would still be OK. It is a skirted one piece that we quite like. Hard to explain it all but on the opposite wall of the vanity is the door. A regular 28" wide door and it swings into the bathroom. To the right of the door on the same wall that cut in 14" is a lovely little corner wall cabinet with rounded front. It fits in that little nook where the wall changes. It matches our vanity and gives us extra storage. They are made by a Canadian company in Quebec called Luxo Design. Our cabinet is still in their catalogue. It called Winter. The little corner unit that matched came from the Moonlight design, but was the same high gloss white and a perfect match. On the Winter cabinet we removed the sink that came with it as it didn't allow fitting against two walls. We put granite and a bowl sink on it. Here is a link to the company. http://www.luxodesign.ca/index.php?page=produits Sorry verbal description is very hard. It likely makes no sense! The end result was a pretty stylish small bathroom that is completely functional....See More6ft by 6ft Bathroom
Comments (10)Our cabinets are a brand made in Quebec, Canada called Luxo Marbre. I did see lots of them on Amazon.com. The style we bought several years ago seems to be unavailable now. It had the shiny white finish (as a few of theirs do) and kind of curvy. Our vanity is 26 inches wide. \[Luxo Website\]([http://luxomarbre.com/en/product-category/vanities/](http://luxomarbre.com/en/product-category/vanities/)) We put in a 16 inch diameter round vessel sink that we set down a bit into the granite top. It is definitely not too small but the counter is not real roomy for a main everyday bathroom. Just as a powder room or guest bath works for us. We are currently using it as our only bathroom while our main bath is undergoing a complete to the studs gut and reno. It is fine but for the long term larger would be nicer. We felt by shopping around we really made good use of our space. The builders here doing our other bathroom are impressed with how we pulled it off. I will add, our style made it that a vessel sink suited best but an under mount oval would likely make the best use of a small vanity top....See MoreKitchen Island Pics Please! 4x4ft or 4x5ft, Seating on 2 Sides
Comments (11)How many people are you planning to seat at this island? I'm asking b/c you need these minimums for island seating: 24" per person linear space Two people cannot share a corner 15" overhang of clear leg/knee space A 5'x5' island will not comfortably seat four. Expand it by a minimum of 3" (6" would be better) to get the minimum size for an island that seats four: 63" x 48" (Yes, even 3" will make a difference. Keep in mind that the 24" per seat is the minimum, not the ideal. Ideal is closer to 30" per seat.) Both island sizes (4'x4' & 4'x5') with seating on two adjacent sides will only accommodate three people: Note: The minimums are for short to average height/size people. If you and/or your family are tall, I recommend a deeper overhang with 30" per seat (but 24" per seat will probably suffice)...taller people generally take up more space overall....See MoreKent Boring
