Consider these master bath must-haves
Sharing with your sweetie is simpler when you’ve made space for these features.
- Toilet room:Gives this area privacy; best if it’s got a door.
- Separate shower stall:Lets bathers and shower-takers clean up simultaneously.
- Dual workstations:Place double sinks 36 inches apart or more, measured drain to drain, so that you’ll have elbow room. Give each sink enough outlets and lighting, as well as mirror, countertop, and storage space.
- Wide pathways:Traffic lanes 36 to 42 inches wide allow two people to pass each other without having to squeeze by. Source: ThisOldHouse
Don’t make the toilet the first thing you see when open the door
Ask a bathroom designer what his or her best tried and true tip is, and this is what you’re likely to hear. The reasoning is simple. Oftentimes bathroom doors get left open, meaning that you or any guest in your home walking by will see the toilet — which, come on, isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing thing to look at. If you’re hoping for a spa-like vibe, putting the john front and center in the design can sort of kill the mood as you’re transitioning into the room. So, what should you make the focal point? Anything but the toilet. Source: Houzz
The golden rules of bathroom renovations
- Draw up a clear plan of the room to remodel, and make it to scale. This will be a great reference not only for you, but also for your subcontractors.
- Estimate the approximate total cost of your renovation beforeyou begin your work. This includes quotes from workers, for materials, new fixtures (bath, shower, toilet, and faucets), furniture, decor and lighting.
- Ask for at least two or three quotes from different workers.
- Shop around for your bathroom fixtures. You’d be surprised how much you can save.
- Prepare yourself for surprises and extra expenses along the way, especially if you decide to open up the space and remove walls.
- Do not touch a load bearing wall without first consulting with an expert. Source: Yellowpages
