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 MoreBasement main bathroom (as opposed to master bathroom;-))
Comments (3)I screwed up - it's a master bedroom and bath in the basement with walk out. You are 100% correct with the confusion. What I've decided to do is to have this be more of a "guest master bedroom" or future inlaw place. Every home is initially designed for the current occupant but also with future occupants in mind. Therefore what I'll do is focus on the upstairs primary bedroom and then if I do decide to stay, I'll give this to my soon to be teen-age daughter and I'll build my primary bedroom in the basement. When someone comes to look at the home to buy, they can look at the downstairs as a large "room" which could be a bedroom (staged as such) and an awesome bathroom ideally suited for a bedroom or just an awesome entertainment room....See MoreNeed help for Main and ensuite bathroom ideas
Comments (4)Ah! I've heard of Vastu, but I didn't know there was a recommendation on toilet direction ... good to know. In the main bath, I was guessing the shower opened to the north, so the current toilet position would create more interference than the vanity on the north wall (facing the shower). In the ensuite, if I have my dimensions right, the section not containing the shower seemed pretty close to square, the space would be similar to how it is drawn, give or take a few centimeters, though maybe I've got the vanity depth wrong and it would be tighter. I'll try to explain the other one again: the vanity would be on the west wall, facing the shower, which would be along the east wall (with the door next to it), and then the toilet would be on the south wall, probably almost centered, so there would be room to get in the door but the toilet wouldn't be into the end of the vanity....See MoreMain Bathroom Renovation- hiring a designer
Comments (4)You are correct. It is all location specific for cost. Bathroom designer is just that...a designer. You can either take her recommendation for a contractor, or you walk with your design and hire your own. For our 3,000 sq foot home, our favorite draftsman designed the house, her firm did all the engineering, and we used our own contractor who quoted us his price for the build plus 10%. (Keep in mind he was giving us his cost for materials). Of course, it is never that simple and my finish choices went way over budget, and I paid for those out of pocket. But, that was my decision....See MoreCassandra Conway
