Bathrooms, whether big or small, should always be well thought out and carefully located. With these tips, you can make informed decisions that will last.
No windows
A dark, damp bathroom with no circulation is not ideal. Make sure your bathroom has an outside wall. If windows are not an option, an operable skylight allows for the fresh air and natural light to make the space feel comfortable.
Not considering sightlines
Whenever possible, avoid locating the bathroom directly off one of the home’s public rooms, like the kitchen, living room or dining room. You do not want a clear view of the bathroom from public rooms.
An immediate view of the toilet
Speaking of views, avoid making the toilet the first thing you see in the bathroom, and avoid any sightlines to it from adjacent rooms. You may want to put the toilet and shower in their own room while keeping the sink separate. This allows someone to take a shower while someone else gets ready at the sink.
A curbed shower
A curbless shower makes a bathroom feel bigger and look cleaner. Also, it’s very practical for aging-in-place homeowners.
Style over function
You want to consider how a bathroom fits your specific lifestyle and how it will last you as long as it needs to. Picking out fun tiles and trendy tapware is fun, but always keep in mind the most important aspect of your new bathroom is that it has a great design that functions efficiently.
