Need help with bathroom remodel layout
Hi all, we are going to remodel our 70s bathroom and need help on the layout. We will convert the bath tub to a shower but I’m not sure what to do with the vanity and toilet. I don’t like the toilet in the middle and the double sink on the left is awkward. We will be getting a new vanity. What would you recommend specifically on the vanity area and toilet design? I know moving toilets can be pricey / expensive.

Comments (12)OK, so if my plan won't work, how can I fix it :) enduring there are two other full baths w/ tub and shower on the same floor. I am not worried about making this one handicap accessible. mongoct there is one window on the rights side. I've labeled it here. It is currently a small, stupid high window which I was planning on making a little bigger and longer. It was going to be in between the two vanity mirrors in the current proposed plan and I was going to put a glass cabinet w/ glass front and back in front of it to let light filter through but get more storage and obscure the view. The doors can be changed or moved from side to side if need be. The window could be changed and moved to- but the bathroom faces the front of the house and it is a ground floor house so there can't be a window in the front....See MoreMaster Bathroom Remodel - Floor plan/layout ideas needed
Comments (11)Sophie, having just gutted two bathrooms and a kitchen I would have to agree. My master closet cabinets with island were significantly more than the cost the OP wants to spend on the entire project. And that was just the master closet. However, the OP should plan the space then get bids and access what are must haves versus what she wishes. I deleted the tub because I don’t take baths and I wanted a large shower. As long as she has a tub somewhere in the house it is not an issue. At that point, she will have a better idea of what her budget should be, but based upon the space I would guess closer to $50,000...See MoreNeed help with bathroom layout for remodel, pls
Comments (3)Yes, it's the master bath, we want/need a tub in there. The space is large (11'2" x 14'2") , so I'm not sure what you mean by a space this size? The current layout has a lot of wasted space on the closet/makeup vanity side, as there's a pocket door going into the bath/shower side. The Drywall "box" is also wasted space since it was built out only to fit the garden tub/vanity. I was thinking the new shower and tub could expand into that whole wall, which would then easily fit a large tub and a large shower, but I'm a little stumped on the best way to do the remaining layout. Thanks!...See MoreBathroom remodel layout help
Comments (6)This is one floor plan I suggested to a friend and she built the exact same way and she loves it. The only difference is that she does not have a make-up mirror to see the back of her head but it seems that she is ok without one. I know I would miss it. I see two options to place a make-up mirror: 1- You can place it close to where the bathroom door is. See little square for the location where I would put the mounting bracket. This would allow you to stand between the counter top and the make-up mirror. You would also need to place your sinks distant from each other because this dictate the location of each mirror and it needs to be placed where you can see the back of your head. I do prefer to have distant sinks anyway because of the longer continuous counter top between the two sinks and also you can have wider drawers in the middle of your vanity. 2- An other idea would be to mount the make-up mirror inside one door of the cabinet and put another mirror on the inside of the other door. You could stand between the two mirrors. You just need to open the doors. You would have to reserve an empty shelf inside the cabinet to drop your hair dryer and brush while your are doing your hair. You would also need an electrical outlet close by....See More- PRO

last yearI'd probably move the toilet just to the left of the entryway, then do an L with the cabinets with one sink on the current wall and one sink on the wall adjacent to the tub. You need 30" (15" on either side from the toilet centerline) to meet code. Like this, theoretically:

I don't think I'd do the corner tower; you could do an L linen cabinet, instead.Tomas Bosque thanked Sabrina Alfin Interiors Tomas Bosque

last yearI'd reverse the door swing and put a low profile wall hung toilet left of the door so it is behind it and out of sight when the door is opened. Then put a new vanity and pretty mirror opposite the doorway. Here is a space saver for the new shower. It is by Aqua Fold and is available through Lowe's. The door folds in half and also pivots in and out of the shower area. I think two of their 29.5" ones might work in a shower your size; think about it and do your homework.

last yearlast modified: last yearFirst decide if moving toilet is within your budget. I’d look into that cost first.
Perhaps if toilet is only moved over it might be less expensive, create a water closet, add one sink only and shower placed on right wall (not in corner per picture) and change door’s opening. A contractor should be able to advise you of possibilities.
Wait to decide on toilet location, then work around, and I thought this link might help. https://www.bhg.com/bathroom/remodeling/planning/bathroom-layout-guidelines-and-requirements/#page=1Tomas Bosque thanked Maureen
