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 MorePlanning a total bathroom reno
Comments (34)Thanks for the measurements, there were a few missing that would have made it easier to be more precise, But I'am making suggestions on what I think might fit within the existing floor plan which you are trying to do. the only small extension is to fit the laundry into a shared family bathroom. As there is already a shower and toilet in the current laundry I think it would be wrong to move them as they are close to your new alfresco area for the family to have easy access when you have your get togethers. To try and keep the girls bedrooms a good size and together with the other two bedrooms I suggest working with the fireplace and making the current Bathroom and ensuite but with the ability to share the toilet with the girls during the night. I have added my beloved barn doors to close off the kitchen from the bedrooms and also to be able to leave open during the day for extra light., the planned deck with roof over will make the dining/study/kitchen darker so you might need to consider a sky light. Anyway just a few different ideas trying to work with and around special features cheers...See MoreWhat do you think of these bathroom concepts?
Comments (9)depending on the size of the room and accurate location of existing doors and windows everything is out of proportion and all the concepts are hard to understand because we don't know the correct sizes ... the baths only look about 1200mm long, or the showers are oversized compared to the other fittings and look too small for a standard towel and what is the size of the storage and what can be stored in it....you need to collect a examples of proper sized fixtures eg a bath could be from about 1500 to 1800 long and 750 wide plus enough space to clean around a freestanding bath, most toilets need about 800 x 800 space to allow for elbow and knee room but there's lots of different sized toilets for different situations, showers need to be about 900 deep and say 900 to 1800 long but depends on available space and do you want a walk in shower with or without a glass screen or a shower cubicle or wet room or Japanese style ...dimensions are easily found on any manufaturers websites but allways start with accurate dimensions of the existing space and try again...See MoreLaundry/bathroom layout and reno advice please
Comments (19)@AAB That Ikea one looks like it has good dimensions from above, but I think you'd find 20cm too shallow to double as a useful laundry tub. If you could find one that was twice that depth… I did encounter such a sink in a long-stay apartment hotel I stayed in recently. The bathroom was fitted out with a combined washer-dryer unit and the "basin" – while styled aesthetically like a bathroom basin and oval in shape as well as rounded in cross-section – was really big. You could have washed a large baby in it! So clearly that kind of thing is available. It did require a fairly deep vanity to mount it in, but that was there to accommodate the depth of the washer-dryer anyway. The only thing with a deep vanity is you absolutely need to mount the mirror on a cabinet to bring it forward, not directly on the wall. If you don't do that anyone who is short and/or short-sighted has a hard time using the mirror for practical purposes such as shaving, inserting contact lenses, or applying makeup. (Yes, I discovered this during my hotel stay too!)...See MoreKate
