We have one bathroom on the main floor with an odd (though super convenient) jack & jill layout. One door leads to the hallway with bedrooms, the other leads to the pantry/kitchen. We are going to remodel and close off the pantry-side door in order to move the plumbing down and install a much larger, double-sink vanity.

Our contractor told us we can fit up to a 72” vanity. I would LOVE that size, but I think it might make everything too crowded. Opinions?

A 72” vanity would leave us with about 34” between it and the wall for the toilet and a trash can. Is that enough space? we are keeping the current toilet and would be left with enough room for 16” off center.

A 60” vanity would leave us with a ton of space, about 46”, just for the toilet area. What else could we put in there (other than a trash can)? It seems like it would be weirdly empty.

I found a brand with a 66” vanity (Beckett or Miranda by Wyndham Collection - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wyndham-Collection-Beckett-66-in-W-x-22-in-D-x-35-in-H-Double-Sink-Bath-Vanity-in-White-with-White-Cultured-Marble-Top-WCG242466DWBWCUNSMXX/317261682) and this between size seems highly appealing. Any drawbacks to getting a non-standard size?

Details of room:

• about 4.5’x8.75’ main floor area (with current plaster, not including closet or tub)
• we are taking it all down…replacing walls with drywall, new tub, new tile floor, tile surround, arch over shower/tub, add an exhaust fan, new lighting. Probably will not replace tile on walls.

In photos I highlighted where 60” and 72” vanities would hit. Again, a 60” vanity (marked with blue) leaves roughly 46” to the far wall, and 72” leaves about 34” (marked with pink) to the far wall.
