Please help with ideas for this small bathroom
Comments (4)Please post a layout drawing and picture of current space. Grayish wood-look tiles are already outdated. Better to pick a regular (not wood-look) tile for the floor....See MoreAdvice on Storage for Small Bathroom
Comments (24)Figure out what really needs to be stored in the bathroom and what can be moved to other areas of the house. The sink is not pictured but if the sink is a cabinet consider moving most storage under there and install pull out tiered shelving in cabinet to maximize space and make retrieval easier. A hand towel over the toilet gives me the heebie-jeebies yucky ! As noted in photos below move the light to above the mirror and have mirror same width as sink to feel more expansive. You could also do the whole space with a mirrored cabinet vs a mirror and cabinet so its one cohesive expanse doing a mirror and a cabinet may be choppy...See MoreStorage idea for small bathroom
Comments (5)I will ask my comtractor. He told me I had 12 inches width. If they can remove a 2x4 I could make this work. I was hoping to have more depth than 4 inches by coming out further but not sure if thats possible....See MoreOne hallway bathroom or two small private bathrooms
Comments (12)If they would each be the size of the standard 5x7 bath that used to serve as the only full bath in the house, and it has no negative affect on your budget to have another or negative effect on the bedroom size it would be fine to have two individual baths. If they would end up being cramped or shrinking the bedroom, maybe not. It's not so much that smaller bathrooms are that much more difficult to use, it's that they are a pain to clean. You could also do one ensuite and one hall access...and by the time the older one leaves the younger could move into that bedroom. I would not do a single Jack and Jill or the two sink thing. There are differing parenting styles too, and I know some parents more or less stay out of their teenage kids rooms, so it's possible that ensuite bathrooms in that situation would get really dirty. I once stayed overnight in a guest room last minute that was jack and jill with a kid's bedroom, (kid home) and they had me use the ensuite bathroom in a different kid's bedroom who was gone over that night or two. And the ensuite bathroom was not exactly filthy, but it was not clean or taken care of by a long shot. And they didn't know because they stayed out of their kid's rooms....See Morebpath
