When you're designing a new home, your plans should include all of the features that will make you and your family comfortable, especially a sufficient number of bathrooms. With too few bathrooms in the home, you might have a chaotic morning routine, as everyone struggles to find space and get ready for the day. To prevent this, here are a few custom home planning tips to help with your design.

3 Factors to Consider When Deciding How Many Bathrooms to Put in a New Home

1. Rule of Thumb

While in the past, the ratio was lower, modern home designers suggest having a bathroom for every bedroom in the house. This way, every family member will always have access to the facilities. Another solution is a larger bathroom with multiple sinks which connects to two bedrooms.

2. Future Plans

When determining how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need, don't just think about now. What will your family look like in the future? Do you intend to have children? Do you need space for a senior family member who needs care? The larger your family grows, the more bathrooms you will need.

3. Guests

If you entertain often, you want to put additional 1/2 bathrooms in convenient areas of your new home for your guests to use. This may include locations near the living room or kitchen, as well as adding a full bathroom wherever you have a guest room. The more people you want to invite to your home, the more bathrooms they will need.
