Some Ideas to Consider …

  • Layout Suggestions for a New Bathroom

    One of the most important components of bathroom design is the layout. Understanding dimensions, traffic patterns, and the strategic placement of the sinks, toilet, shower, and bath tub will help you create a bathroom that is well designed and meets your specific needs.

    Our favorite layout ideas for a bathroom remodel include:

    • A corner sink A corner sink is an ideal solution for a smaller bathroom. Placing the sink in the corner helps eliminate traffic-flow problems and frees up available space.

    • An operable window In order to properly maintain your bathroom you need to make sure moisture is removed after each use. This cuts down on the potential growth of mold and mildew. In addition to a bathroom vent we suggest homeowners add an operable window that will increase circulation throughout the bathroom.

    •  Strategic toilet placement We like to avoid placing the toilet out in the open for both privacy and design reasons. Find a way to strategically locate the toilet so it isn’t front and center in the bathroom. An enclosed room or a water closet is the perfect choice for toilet placement.
