Laundry room Half bath combo design ideas

2 years ago

Well, I am hoping to get some design ideas to add a half bath to my 7x10 laundry room. I know it will be tight but not impossible. I currently use stackable washer/dryer. Thank you all for taking time to reply :)

We need a to scale floor plan showing all the measurements n, windows , doorways where those doorways lead where the plumbing is since you will need a big plumbing job to install a toilet .

Sure just keep everything on the 10 ft wall. 30 inch for toilet 36 for laundry stacking leaves 48 or less for vanity. Door should swing onto the empty wall and no walls dividing anything unless you go with a small 24" vanity then sure you can have walls around the laundry.

Small first floor full/half or laundry+half bath?

Do you have a separate Dining Room (this is where it would help if we saw the layout of the entire floor - both here and on Kitchens - not just the addition, the entire floor). I'm asking b/c if you do, you might consider making the table space a banquette and taking more space for the Powder Room. (Bench along the Powder Room and, possibly, "top" walls) Regarding the laundry - I'll be honest, I would not want my laundry anywhere where guests could see it - and putting it in the Powder Room means guests will definitely see it! It might help to build an enclosure around it - it would at least hide the washer & dryer, but it wouldn't help with any laundry sitting in the room - clean or dirty. Note that expanding the Powder Room may mean going with the narrower window (8'+ vs 10').

Trying to design bath/laundry/mudroom combo

I have a 1950's style house on a crawl and we are trying to update the back bathroom and combine a mudroom laundry with it. I am flexible on if there will be a shower especially since I am tied to having two doors into the space. One from the garage on the south wall and one from the back yard on the north wall. The entire area is 11'3" w to e x 11' 1/2" n to s interior measurements. The doors are directly opposite each other on the right hand side of the area. I have 2 existing windows I am not sure I am moving they are both high widows and wouldn't interfere with anything but the shower. One is 3' w and is 15 1/2" from the south corner on the west wall. The other is 4'4" w and 25" from the west corner on north wall. My main need for the mud room is coat storage and for a dog crate for a 50lb dog. Any ideas would be much appreciated!!

Would you give up your laundry room to add a half bath?
Q

Thank you all again for the feedback. I'm really leaning towards sacrificing the laundry room and going with a powder room. The more I think about it and think about the way I do laundry, I believe the ROI (for me) on a separate powder room would be greater. I'm attaching a drawing, but I there really isn't much to work with. The area outlined it red is initially going to be a family room, but in a couple of years it will convert to an in-law-suite, so we want/need to keep that area separate the way it is (so ignore the bathroom there, that's part of the suite). The room labeled with the red L and blue B is the current laundry room, proposed change to powder room/mudroom. The alcove with the blue L is where I am thinking of moving the laundry, and the red X in the area to the far right is the location of the main floor bathroom in the existing house. And yes, we have walls, I just didn't draw them out! :-)

Help!! Half Bath/Laundry Reno - Do I combine the two rooms?
Q
Comments (0)
Looking for ideas for this small space. Do I open the half bath wall and combine with laundry? I know I need front loaders so I can have a counter over them. Do I also take off the bi-folding closet door so it’s an open ‘mudroom’ with bench and shelves? This is actually the most used entrance in my house...

Are you going to wall off the stackable w/d i.e. will it be behind its own door? If not, you need to rethink doing this. In the last year I have seen multiple episodes of various HGTV/DIY shows that had the washer and dryer in a room which had a toilet and sink. Every single prospective buyer commented on it, saying how it pretty much was unacceptable to them. I am a big supporter of making a house a home, and not just an investment, but you should consider resale if that is in your future, and also think about guests who may use the room.
