As one of the more commonly used spaces in a house, a well-designed bathroom adds significant value to your property. Many homeowners and buyers are opting for a multiple-user bathroom design to accommodate larger families. These spaces often resolve scheduling and space issues and save you money in the long run. However, there are some practical issues to consider before remodeling.

Do:

Divide shared spaces.

A shared bathroom design doesn’t necessarily mean that people should forgo their privacy. Include separate shelving and cabinets to resolve this issue. Family members can store their toiletries in a designated space to avoid mixing up belongings with others.

Build two sinks.

Couples and larger families can install two sinks, often called a “his and hers” or “Jack and Jill” bathroom design. This allows multiple people to use the bathroom at the same time without getting in each other’s way.

Don’t:

Make storage inaccessible.

If multiple family members are using the space, consider their height and other factors to make items accessible to everyone. Create high and low shelves for towels, toiletries, and other possessions, and store additional products under the sink. 

Forget efficiency.

A larger bathroom is meant to encourage greater efficiency. If you plan to have an open-floor design for a shared space, consider including a private shower and toilet, so multiple people can use the space comfortably.
