Which bathroom layout?
I just can’t decide. This will be the only bathroom upstairs shared by two kids and the bathroom anyone in the bonus room will use. It’s in the hallway and not connected to any bedrooms. I like the separate toilet area for getting ready on school mornings as my kids get older but the tub/shower oriented horizontally feels cramped. Is 45” from the edge to the wall too narrow? All the doors may be annoying, but I do not want pocket doors in this bathroom. Left layout feels much more spacious, right layout provides more flexibility for two people getting ready. Which would you do?

Bathroom Reveal, Thanks to the Bathroom and Remodel Forums!X-Post
Comments (6)Lovely! I like the classic white tile and porcelain and how you used furniture pieces in the bathroom. I love that the storage at the end of the tub has pull-outs that can be reached from the toilet. Your custom sink and backsplash and counter are unique and beautiful. Yours may be the first bathroom sink I have seen in which a small or medium dog could be washed! That is a good thing! I showed your pictures to my DH because I am thinking of classic tiled walls with a chair rail for when we redo our bath in a couple of years. He liked it! I was expecting him to say, "too old fashioned." He did not, he said it looked nice. From him, nice is a compliment. He even liked your rows of listello. I was just at the Tile Shop's site the other day looking at the Hampton tiles because someone was selling some on Craigslist. I am hoping to do as you did and get what I can cheaper there, and fill in the rest from the store. I can see that you worked very hard to secure all of your materials - and then cut the floor tiles to size and culled the Hampton tiles, too! You succeeded very well in getting the look you wanted while saving money along the way. Congratulations, and thank you for the pictures and great detail and supply list....See MoreTile most of the bathroom or tile the entire bathroom?
Comments (17)Sumod- The medicine cabinets are simple wood frames with a cabinet-grade plywood back that just sit in the stud cavity. Because of the dimensions, the front of the frame projects about 1"+ beyond the finished wall. The medicine cabinet doors are also plywood with veneered edges and they are attached to the frame with standard cabinet hinges (Euro hinges). The mirrors are just 1/4" plate glass ordered to size from a glass shop and held in place with mirror mastic and a metal strip at the bottom that you don't really see. The guy who did the cabinets just made the medicine cabinets as part of the job. I don't know about the door brand...we live in a large metro area that has lots of door shops and the doors are just solid core maple doors with the center cut out and a maple panel held in with molding. They're not stained; they simply have a couple coats of clear spray lacquer....See MoreHelp with bathrooms. Divide to two bathrooms or do one large bathroom?
Comments (15)I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?...See MoreBathroom Layouts - which one will you choose? Move Door?
Comments (13)Maybe something like this: The biggest concern is the space in front of the toilet. The code is that you need 22" clearance in front of the toilet. My powder room is 4'2" deep and I just barely have 22" clearance. In your case, with this layout you have 1" to spare (maybe less if the wall between the tub and the toilet is more than 4" thick). BTW, the space I used for this layout is 95"x138" (I added 4" for the wall between the closet and the bathroom). So I am not sure if in total you have 134 or 138 inches available. EDIT: If your japanese tub is slightly bigger than 40", a tankless toilet could help preserving the 22" required in front of the toilet: EDIT2: To make it more open, the wall separating the tub and the toilet does not need to be full height. It could be just high enough so that you don't see the toilet when seated in the tub....See MoreRelated Professionals

last yearI love in Paris where the bathrooms are split. One room with the toilet and sink and the other room with the tub and sink. Consider this layout. Of course, the layout can be switched to all different layouts, but this will give private areas and no interference with functions.
I loved the split idea as it was so practical. You don't need a big shower room, which seems like a waste of space and too many doors.
The cabinet between the sink vanities is a full height ceiling to floor linen closet.
In the WC, the cabinets on either side of the recessed sink, are low open bookcases.

PRO- last yearlast modified: last year
last yearSome different ideas that may work.
I like a wall next to the toilet - even a 2' deep one provides privacy without enclosing you into a stall. One that is three feet deep is really hidden
One more - less vanity space, but extra hall storage.
Bathroom with toilet behind shower with a wall Not seen from doorway except in the mirror in this home.
This bathroom has the toilet next to the shower with a door between the vanity and the shower/toilet room like my last design.
