Bathroom/powder room vanity
Hello,
I need advice on powder room vanity. The one that I took out was custom built and ugly. Now I can't find a pre-made one with the size I need. Would it be awkward if I got a small vanity to install it off to a side because the water connections are off to a side so I can't put it in the middle?

Reveal: TINY bathroom turned into powder room
Comments (20)Think your HDepot and my Lowes 24" vanities are twins, or close to it! Attached- photos from online, mines still boxed. My plumbings is for a 30" vanity. My contractor was concerned aesthetics of 3" extra on sides but I think its very furniture-y and not flush to the wall will still look natural (at least to me LOL) So reasonably $$ for the styling, over pricier but more generic models. Im going primarily white wood (at beach) but the curved front and wide sink sold me. Went on to track down another curved in white for powder room. Lowes / HDepot have so much variety especially online, patience & detecitve work can land you misleadingly nice looking, nicely priced items. More for those must have design splurges!. And yours is the proof for those who think such a large print would be too large for a small room. Scale! Its the difference between accenting a room versus claiming focal point status.And thought this was famous print - truly an artist!

Comments (3)I think you are right to be worried. I don't like any of the layouts! I am a modernist at heart and love modern design. I try to think about bathrooms based on the way I know they will be used. Some things to always think about for me include: What is the main purpose for using the bathroom? Taking a shower, using the toilet, etc? For most people using the toilet is the most frequent thing. Based on that. I like my toilets closer to the door because I have had hip surgery and clopping across a large run made me want diapers especially in the middle of the night. Where will my bathroom acoutrements go? Things like Trash cans, toilet bowl brush, supplementally supply of toilet paper, towels or robes? Are the aisles wide enough to do the things you will do in the bathroom? Do multiple people need to be in the space at one time? Looking at the half bathroom, I think it is too small a space to have a comfortable bathroom which is why the designed turned the toilet the way it currently is. What it does is limit the depth of the cabinet that you can have. If the bathroom was 5' wide, you could put the toilet and vanity on the 7' wall and have about 3' between the wall and the other items. To maximize space in that room, I would use wall mount toilets which mean that the maximum depth of the toilet would be 24" rather than 30" for a regular floor mount toilet. With a 2' deep cabinet, you will have 3' of space to walk into the space. Keep space available for things like toilet brushes, extra toilet rolls, etc. What kind of door is planned for the space? It is hard to tell from the drawing. For the Guest Ensuite, there are no dimensions. I find it strange to see the tub first in the space. Master bathroom, I don't like going through the bathroom to get to my closet. Could you move the door to the closet to the same position as the door to the bathroom is at the top of the picture? I think the master bathroom is too large. Do you really use a tub and shower? If you do, it is okay to keep but the size of the master bathroom looks to be the same size as your guest suite. There is a lot of open space that does not necessary aid in function. How will the shower door open in the current configuration? For a master bathroom, I would also look for a dual sink vanity rather than a single sink vanity. I have a similar bathroom as the worse offender in my home. I am moving to a pocket door, moving the toilet to the far right and using a 24" wide vanity next to the tub. Not the ideal configuration but based on a space of 8' by 5' that is the best idea that I have. I forgot to mention something that may be coloring the recommendations that I am giving. I hate to clean but I am also very neat especially bathrooms! I think large bathrooms are hard to keep clean and I have never been in one where dust bunnies are not living in the soaking tub that most people never use. Cleaning a large room with lots of corners and crevices will not make a happy camper at all:-( Good luck!...See Morepowder room bathroom lighting
Comments (2)When purchasing antique bulbs for your home, be aware that a 60-watt antique bulb will emit closer to 400 lumens, whereas a 60-watt standard A19 incandescent bulb will emit closer to 800 lumens. These bulbs are for accent lighting, not task lights or to replace overhead lights....See MoreCan marble tile on bathroom powder room floor be made impervious
Comments (1)Sure! A fire glazed porcelain tile that mimics marble will never stain. Otherwise, marble is required to be sealed. Sealers do not make the stone stain proof but only slow the process of a stain staining, making it easier for cleaning. Solvent based sealers are far superior to water based sealers....See More

10 months agolast modified: 10 months agothere are a ton of options you can do here. a floating vanity would be easy enough.
Here's a 36" floating vanity you can buy, and it has the offset sink
Or, this one is nice
Can you DIY? it's not that difficult. And, doing it yourself, you can build it exactly to the dimesions that fit your inset area.
This is a complete how-to. (You could modify it w/your diff styles and colors)
https://designingvibes.com/floating-bathroom-vanity-diy/
I like the shelf beneath toocheaper option:
https://www.frugalfamilytimes.com/2017/11/how-to-build-modern-wood-floating/
Want something a little classier? I love what she did in this one. You have the perfect spot for wallpaper. and if you notice, this type of floating vanity hides the plumbing
https://jenwoodhouse.com/powder-room-renovation/another option is to til that entire back wall, do some sconces or pendants, and this type of floating vanity
(Have you searched "36" floating vanities?If you don't want a floating vanity, here's a freestanding one. I'd still til the wall, maybe do some sconces. this one has diff colors of wood and is all inclusive (except for faucet) on sale too
I had a client that had the same set up like you and he bought this type of vanity. (topped it w/his own leftover quartz countertop
these are 36X17
I love the look of this one. get a wood mirror and sconces
Home Depot has this one.
.It's great if you could do a wall mount faucet. gives you more counter space.
So first you need to decide what kind of style you want, and then go from there

10 months agoMy guess is the 17.5" is causing problems, along with the offset plumbing. I had a similar issue. Check out TheBathOutlet.com I found that they have really great options. These two measure in at (sink) Overall Length: 31.89" Overall Width: 17.32" Overall Height: 5.51" and (console) Width: 31.4" Depth: 17.1" Height: 30.2"
