8X13 DOUBLE SIDED FRAME CRACK

You can easily get two nice sinks in a more public area, and then have a pocket door into a toilet and bath/shower room. With this plan, you commit to the idea of one plumbing wall, but then extend the bathroom (and hopefully widen it) a bit. I won’t hate on you for going down this road, I promise. I’ll be honest, I don’t love it, but I understand the value, and it can sometimes be a good solution. The other tweak to this one is the “banjo” top which has a smaller countertop extension above the toilet. And - wow - I just typed the phrase “bathroom powerhouse” - I’m checking off life milestones left and right today. Still, it is a classic and always a bathroom powerhouse. However, that efficiency comes with the downside that the room isn’t all that special, and it has limited counter space. There’s an efficiency in plumbing cost, as all the plumbing is on one wall. This is an efficient bathroom, and, it just plain works. These bathroom floor plans are simple, efficient, and basically get the job done with no extra fanfare. Lesson 1: Start with the Basics – Standard, and “The Banjo” Alternate It is around 40 square feet (5’ x 8’) and here are the typical rules of thumb for how it works. This is the good old “three-in-a-row” bathroom we’ve all seen. (If you'd like to learn more about either of these, let us know, we’d be happy to elaborate in a new post!) Rules of Thumb for Bathroom Design Lesson 1: Start with the Basics Also, bathrooms in multifamily buildings (like apartments) are a whole different ballgame due to accessibility rules. Bathrooms with just a toilet and a sink, known as powder rooms, are a different animal altogether, and not covered in this post. We’ll look at bathrooms with a shower (¾ bath), or bathrooms with a tub (full bath), or even combinations of both. Side Note: This post covers the basics for single-family residential bathroom design.

So, in the selfless interest of trying to make the bathrooms of America a little better, read on for some standard rules of bathroom design. When planning a bathroom (either when building new or remodeling) there are plenty of rules of thumb to follow for bathroom layout. Weird-shaped rooms angled tubs, toilets, showers and generally, spaces that are just plain awkward - these all seem to be hallmarks of poorly-designed bathrooms.

I’ve been in enough homes over the years to observe that designing and laying out a bathroom is apparently a tough nut to crack for a lot of American production builders.
