What to do ... Combining the Laundry and Bathroom
Comments (12)I love a good design challenge & you CAN make this sink work for you! I don't know what your design aesthetic is, but I see this working in a contemporary or transitional style bathroom. For the sink, choose an under-mounted model & place it beneath a 1-1/4" thick, solid surface countertop made of engineered quartz such as Silestone or Zodiaq. Mount your faucet to the wall & you've made a design statement! Cabinets doors can be slab for contemporary, shaker for transitional. Just be sure that your vanity is deep enough to accommodate this sink. You can always order a kitchen sink base & modify it for the bathroom. Standard rule of thumb: - kitchen cabinets are typically 24" deep & 36" high - bathroom cabinets are 21" deep & 34" high Good luck! ~LMM...See MoreCombined kids bathroom /laundry
Comments (6)Ok, leaving the laundry as is coz it's existing I'll focus on the bathroom... - not sure if the opening from the laundry to bathroom is existing too, but if not I would consider moving the doorway 'down' closer to the wall, which would make the space more workable (p.s. a cavity sliding door would work best here) - I would add a highlight window say 04x21 on the 'left'/bath wall with frosted glazing for privacy and would replicate that highlight window with clear gazing above the door/wall separating the laundry and bathroom - if this isn't the main bathroom but an additional one for guests, do you really need a bath in there?... I would swap location of the bath & vanity and have a double walk-in shower along the 'top' 2m wall, with a glass shower screen to maintain light and openness... also better for elderly guest than climbing into/over bath hob - I would put the vanity, a floating one to maintain openness, on the 'left' wall where the bath was, and I would still keep the window to the street at the 'bottom' but maybe centred on the wall could be better Hope that makes sense, let me know what you think and feasibility...See MoreCombined bathroom laundry design help please...
Comments (16)Thanks siriuskey for your design and comments. A bit of background would no doubt be useful, so apologies for this late addition to the discussion. The house will accommodate a reasonably fit and active retired couple in their 60s (us!). We have elderly Mums and expect that 1 of them will end up moving into the guest room/study (hence the desire to have a connection between this room and a shower/WC). We'd also like to be able to access the backyard and have visitors able to access the WC - although we accept that at times we can't have everything...although it's worth a shot! We've struggled with the layout of this space for some time now and picked our builder's brains, but so far no-one has been able to come up with a solution. Both oklouise and you prove that other options are out there....See MoreCombined Bathroom/Laundry dilema
Comments (5)within a budget and available space the best option is to retain the existing floorplan and use a deep handbasin for both laundry and handwashing... i'm not aware of any legal reason why you need a basin and tub in a combined room so curious about that advice...but other option could be to combine the laundry in a kitchen or on the wall outside the bathroom enclosed in a cupboard but can't be specific without whole house plans and more info...See More
