Layout questions for 7.5 x 8 hall bathroom with sit down vanity
Comments (4)I donÂt know if I can add anything to a discussion about the actual layout of the bathroom, because I would have to see a diagram of it to be able to comment intelligently. However, I am constantly looking for vanity concepts for the blog site I maintain with a fellow woodworker, and just this morning, coincidentally enough, I posted a blog on a fairly new product line from Kohler. They have come up with a wonderful idea for a whole line of bathroom fixtures, the heart of which is a vanity that seems like it would almost exactly fit your needs. IÂve posted a link to that blog at the bottom of this, if youÂre interested. A bathroom the size of yours does allow for extra large items, as opposed to the five by nine bathrooms we have in our home! But, even so, you donÂt have anything like unlimited space, which is what I found especially appealing about this particular line. Actually, they even have a smaller vanity that would fit into my postage stamp bathroom! But the whole line, as I said, is designed to conserve space while doing something nice and elegant. They even have a vanity stool with a built-in trash container! And room to slide it under the counter when itÂs not in use.

Comments (10)I have a 6.5x9' bathroom remodel and the way I have laid it out feels spacious for our small home. It has a custom made 18x36" vanity with a large sink and a few mini drawers and shelves. Beautiful and the crown jewel of the room. I have a tall 15X15 tower in a corner, another free standing cabinet along one wall, and a counter height cabinet at one end of the tub that is on the 6.5' wall. All custom cabinets with pull outs. I agree with @roarah, that you wont be able to have both a tub and separate shower. The placement of the window and the door is critical to your layout. Why don't you draw up your floor to a scale, on graph paper and post an image of it for us to look at. Here are some examples of my layout attempts. I made scale floor plan with door and window. Then i cut out tracing paper scaled to size room elements and moved them around on the base plan. Very helpful for me. I took photos of each one. I have more but didn't want to bore you :) Window is on the lower left of the plan and the door is on the right: Toilet is seen easily when the door is cracked, so this layout was eliminated. notice in the upper right there is a small square, that is where my tower is, so I drew it on the master plan, because that was staying no matter what plan I chose: Nearly there, but want more storage space: The plan I went with, though my vanity ended up with my soapstone sink that I made: Finished bathroom. There is a free standing shallow cabinet behind the door, (position shown in the 3rd layout above):...See More5x7 bathroom layout help
Comments (9)If you replace the tub with a shower wouldn't that be big enough if what you have been using? We are redoing our bath - about the same size. Current shower is curved corner unit about 31x34 and works just feels snug. Considering a 48x31 shower not curved, if we can clear the toilet, so we can put in shelving with the rest of the space. Need somewhere for towels. Or go to the wall and be the same space as a tub like you had. Decisions.......See More11.5 ft. x 5 ft. Bathroom Conversion
Comments (9)30" wide door 21" deep vanity (more storage) No partition/privacy wall needed for toilet. Toilet wall space should be 30" minimum to 36". With deeper 21" vanity, the toilet will be pretty well hidden without the need for a partition. Put all light switches at door near the vanity (except closet light)...that way you can turn them all off or on at once when you enter or leave. With a 11'-6" wide bathroom, I would go 36" minimum depth for your shower...32" is like a standard tub depth and will feel narrow with glass enclosure. 11'-6" = 138" 36" shower + 4" dam = 40" 30-36" toilet That leaves 62-68" for a vanity/storage. Since it's a master bathroom, I would consider doing double sinks in a standard 60" vanity. Forgo the tower storage. Use medicine cabinets above sinks....See Moremillworkman
