I need help arranging offset bathroom.

last modified: 8 years ago

I have a bathroom that will have 2 sinks in an 82" wide space for a very narrow master bathroom.

We are thinking of putting in 4 vanity cabinets, 24" (sink), 12" drawers, 24" sink, 12" drawers. The reason we are doing this is because there is right behind the right hand side. (Ignore the measurements in this plan, because they are inaccurate - the cabinet space is 82".)


My husband has been thinking we should do recessed vanity cabinets (about 20" by 24") but then everything is offset.


What are some ideas to keep some balance in this room?

    Show a FLAT floor plan of the bath please. A two inch filler, 30 inch door base, 18 inch drawer base, 30 inch door base, and another two inch filler strip. In that order., left to right. There's your 82 inches balanced and symmetrical.. Don't buy online crap, have it made, it is no more expensive via any kitchen / bath shop.

    Here's the overall layout. I'm assuming a vanity of about 22 inches in depth.

    The whole area is about 67 inches wide by 87.5 inches long.

    The black represents a wall my husband built for the hanging toilet, so the vanity will be flush with the toilet wall so that we might have a little more counterspace.

    I've also seen a few photos where they put some shelving off to the side but normally to balance a sink next to a toilet, so I was thinking of maybe using the right hand space near the toilet for shelving to store linens, so that we have about 66 inch space for the sinks and center drawers without bumping into anything.

    Another idea I have is to put skinny mirrors between the medicine cabinets that will be over the sink so that it creates an interesting repetition.

    You should simply forget TWO sinks . To be comfortable and have counter top space, not bump elbows? Is very tight at anything less than 84 inches.

    What is the continual need to be in the bath TOGETHER?? and back up to a toilet ? . My god, I swear I don't understand it. Make a linen tower at a depth of no greater than 12 inches wide, and 18 deep, floor to the ceiling on both sides Do a 54 inch custom vanity/ ONE sink in between. Symmetry, storage, and counter space.

    Somebody get up thirty minutes earlier.

    This is my first renovation of any kind, which is why I posted on Houzz for advice. If you have one sink, do you do still do two mirrors? The shelving is not a requirement for me, having a usable space to not bump elbows is.

    If you do a 12 inch wide linen tower, there's still about 12 inches left, so you're saying to keep that open? Alternatively it could be a 66 inch wide counter top with one sink, so why wouldn't you do that vs. the 54 that you suggested?

    12 plus 12 plus 54 plus fillers will BE 82"
