Small Bathroom Layout Help
I'm planning on totally remodeling this bathroom. Tub and sink are gone, walls are down to the studs. I now need a little help with the layout/orientation of the room. What do you think about these two options:
1) Change the orientation of the room to have the tub/shower under the window and the sink and toilet where the tub is now. This was the original plan until I saw a photo that made me rethink.
Pros: - Would make the space feel larger and more open - a little easier to walk around in
Cons: - Would have to move all of the plumbing (not a dealbreaker), - would have to figure out how to
prevent water damage on the window (glass block, vinyl, etc.) - if I used a standard tub, there would be a little dead space left. Could make it a shelf or something in the shower
2) Keep tub where it is but move the toilet directly across to the same wall as the sink and do a built-in cabinet thing where the toilet is now. Saw a photo of this that was really attractive - upper and lower cabinets with a small counter space.
Pros: - would save me the trouble of moving most of the plumbing (only thing moving is the toilet)
Cons: - bathroom would still feel small.
Thoughts? Opinions? Lemme hear em!

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoso do you want to keep a similar sink w/no vanity? because option 1 really isn't going to give your counter space. and then you'll have that wall on the right w/nothing.
can you install a pocket door? that will give some extra room.
if you want to move tub, that's the original wood window, yes? serious issues w/that. it would have to be redone and completely waterproofed. what you could do is take out that window and put in a new window, that's smaller and higher up on the wall.
you would just do a single vanity and put the toilet next to the pony wall
Do you have to have a tub?
what's behind either wall? can you still space from a closet or another room?
