Freshly renovated bathrooms can pave the way for relaxing evenings at home, whether you enjoy lounging in a bubble bath or sitting in a steamy shower. However, choosing the right layout during bathroom remodeling can be tricky, especially since there are so many different options available. Here are a few things to consider before you select a new layout. 

Things to Remember When Designing A Bathroom Layout

1. Privacy

Whether you will be sharing your new bathroom with other family members or your home is within close proximity to your neighbors, think about where you want additional privacy and how closed off you want the space to be. For example, many people enjoy separate rooms for toilets or frosted windows for the area over the bathtub. 

2. Daily Routine

Make sure the new layout will accommodate your daily routine. For instance, if you sit down when you put on your makeup, make sure there is enough space for a vanity area and a stool, bench, or chair. On the other hand, if you like having your closet handy for outfit changes, consider asking your contractor to turn an adjacent room into a walk-in closet during your bathroom remodeling project. 

3. Plumbing Location 

One of the biggest elements that impact bathroom remodeling is the placement of existing plumbing fixtures, so think carefully about where those lines are currently. Drains are difficult to move, so talk with your plumbing contractor about how to place your shower and bathtub appropriately. Remember that rearranging the room, such as moving a toilet to an opposing wall, will drive up costs, since relocating plumbing can be time-consuming and costly.
