72 vs 60 double vanity

4 years ago

Hi, we are redoing our bathroom and i’m considering changing to a 60 double vanity - and having a little extra space when we walk in - but i’m not sure - sketch of our current layout with a 72 vanity (technically 74 with lip from counter)

    You're not asking the right question: With a 60" vs. a 72" vanity, how many drawers will you have for at-sink storage? How much counter space will you have with each? Here are some visuals:



    Personally, I'd go with 60" and a single sink. That gives you room to move around comfortably AND a decent amount of counter space and drawers for each spouse.


    Other thoughts:

    - Something's wrong with your picture: your 32 1/2" shower is wider than your 33 1/2" tub.

    - Is that a 32x32 shower? That's more summer camp than master bedroom; seriously, that's not comfortable at all.

    - Note that you're going to walk in and have a view of the toilet. Moving this to the other side would be better.

    - I think you can do better if one of your items turns 90 degrees at the bottom of the picture.

    Another thing: if you go the 72” route, be sure you logistically have room to get it inside/upstairs/etc.

    I think you need to rethink this design. 28” aisle in front of vanity is too narrow. It’s even less for part of the shower. The shower is narrow at 32”. Also, it’s nicer not to see the toilet through the doorway, if possible. Do you need the bathtub?

    the 32 hashed out space is a big blob of a wall that is there - not sure what is behind it ( probably ducts etc) there is no tub in the master - our kids bathroom has tub. I thought of putting tub where shower is - putting shower where toilet is and putting toilet where vanity is and shrinking vanity to 48 - but seems too tight of a fit 😔

    Can you move the door? If you could, this might work. The only thing I”m not sure is if there is room to open the shower door with the toilet. If you get one of the smaller profile ones, maybe there will be enough room. I just bought one for a small bathroom and it looks like a normal toilet but hugs the wall so there’s less wasted space. I can find the name if you want. This gives you 7’ vanity space. Also, I would hang a piece of art on the duct wall or maybe shallow shelves.

    Okay, I was definitely fooled by the wall -- but it explains why what I thought was a tub looks like a shower. Yeah, this wall definitely cuts into your choices, but whatcha gonna do?
