During a bathroom remodeling project, you may be puzzled about layout and floor plan. You may feel your options are limited, especially if the available space is small. Before deciding on bathroom vanities or cabinets, consider the following layout tips to create a comfortable and functional bathroom.

4 Smart Bathroom Layout Tips

1. Privacy

You’ll need to be more creative with space if you’re renovating a powder room rather than a spacious en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Because toilets enclosed in closets can feel claustrophobic, select a bathroom vanity that obstructs the view of the toilet from the door. A privacy panel with tempered glass is another cost-effective way to add privacy without making a powder room seem small. 

2. Plumbing

Before deciding on the style and location of a new bathroom vanity, understand how the room is plumbed. Your choices may be constricted by the location of the piping already in the walls, floor, and ceiling. When remodeling, consider the price of moving the plumbing when laying out the location for a vanity and cabinetry.

3. Functionality

Large bathroom vanities with adequate counter space will give your family more room for washing up and grooming. If decluttering is a primary goal of your renovation, choose a layout that accommodates two vanities to gain storage.

4. Ventilation 

Bathrooms need to be well ventilated, or your walls and ceiling could get musty with mold and mildew. Install a fan that vents air outdoors, not into an attic. Wall-mounted fans or fans installed flush with the ceiling both dispel moisture and humidity, but ceiling-mounted fans are less obtrusive.
