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 Moreneed design ideas for small bathroom 6.5 X 8
Comments (21)I was asked on another thread to post a picture here of my bathroom as it's pretty small, 10 ft x 4ft 10. Some of the things we did to make the small design work: * made whole width of room the size of the shower * tiled to top of wall * used large format tiles in stacked pattern on walls * emphasized width using a horizontal glass accent * kept vanity unit small (24 x 16) * used large format floor tiles * kept colors simple and lines clean * we will also be using a frameless shower door, yet to be installed that will keep it all simple and open looking....See MoreNeed help with Master Bathroom design
Comments (16)You have a great space with which to work!! I think the layout is really nice, but there are a couple things that would concern me if it was my bathroom. 1. With a space this size, there is no reason to have the door block the linen closet. I also woulnd't want the toilet so visible or to have the entry to it compete with the main bath entry. 2. There seems to be a lack of vanity space. And, it's nice to for a women to have a place to sit ;>D 3. There is room for a walk-in shower, if you want it. That would be my preference. I played around some with the assumption that your tub cannot move. Can it? It would be nice to have that as a focal point when you enter. You really want to keep in mind the view from every angle, including from your bed. Where will your bed be? I have a few more ideas, but I guess I really need to know what has to stay where. I'm not sure which entry door you are talking about when you say "the challenge is leaving the entry door where it is". Are you talking about the bedroom door or the bathroom door? Ignore the "deck." It's faster to use that feature than to drag cabinets into the plan. Sorry, too, about the colors. The kids like to help, LOL! This is the idea I was thinking of when I added that arch. Do you have a style preference? For design ideas, I like to google "custom homes" or "custom builders". In fact, here is one link to get you started.

Comments (9)I just finished a 17K bath remodel and a 70K bath remodel project with two different homeowners. Bath A was a small secondary upstairs bath with cultured marble shower pan (converted a tub shower to shower only) cultured marble shower walls, faux marble porcelain 12x12 floor tiles, decent brand (not import) thermofoil vanity, cultured marble vanity top, simple chrome fixtures, a generic $99 comfort height toilet, and a small glass fronted tower sitting on the counter. The chosen splurges were the glass tower and frameless glass wall that made that tiny bath seem twice as large. Bath B used Calcatta marble tiled floors ($35 a square) with underfloor heating , and grey stained Dynasty cherry vanities that were each 72" long with Kohler's Purist line in the Brushed Gold. Just the Soaking tub and fixtures was over 10K. Don't ask about the vintage chandelier above the tub (vaulted ceiling so enough room to be code compliant). That wasn't even in the budget. She had bought it an estate sale of a prominent Memphian several years ago. Wall hung Veil toilet, and separate bidet in a pretty roomy alcove. It wasn't even a steam shower. Just a 4 x6 "walk through". She gave up on the book matched Calcatta slabs to go on the wall behind the tub as well as the steam shower. It was over 100k with those included in the original quote. My point is that YOU are in control of your budget. And you are in control by getting your wants and expectations under control. The first bathroom could have been done at half the cost if it needed to be. Keeping a tub shower with a shower curtain and plain acrylic paneled walls would have gotten it to 9K just because of the plumbing change costs and the glass. But, the homeowner WANTED those changes. And had the budget to be able to do them by choosing less costly items for the rest of the bath. So she's happy. She didn't compromise. On the other hand, homeowner #2 likes her new bath, but is still vaguely dissatisfied because she gave up that whole wall of marble that she *really* wanted. It was the defining design statement of her inspiration picture. If, as I suggested, she'd chosen a few different fixtures, she would have saved enough to get that feature. She didn't want to compromise on anything. And, because she didn't want to "give up" or "downgrade" anything, she gave up the most obvious chunk of change that was a visible line item in the budget. If you make a list of priorities for your renovation, and figure out the budget on achieving #1 and #2, you can let the lower numbers be "good enough" without forcing the idea of "the perfect" on them. Don't let "the perfect" be the enemy of "the good". Just look at where you are starting and remember that anything new will be an improvement!...See MoreEverevolvingself BB
