Bathroom layout suggestions?

4 years ago

Hi :)
We’re starting our bathroom remodel soon but I can’t make a decision. Our current shower is too small so we’re making our tub a tub/ shower combo.
We’d like to add a second washer & dryer in here since this is close to where the bulk of our laundry accumulates.
Should I put a washer/dryer in place of toilet with a countertop and move toilet to shower corner? That nook is 35” wide, too tight?
The toilet is the focal point currently and that bugs me, but I could stack a washer/ dryer where shower is now. Wouldn’t have a counter to sit laundry on tho.
What do you think? Have better suggestions for an optimal layout?
Thanks for you help!

35” is not enough room for side by side washer and dryer. You could stack them if you put the dryer on a counter or get a onepiece unit that has dryer on top washer on bottom.

I think I would rather have the toilet in its original location and the put in one of those LG washtowr (onepiece washer and dryer that are stacked together.) in the shower location.

It would be nice if you could remove the closet on the lower right, move the tub down and put in tall storage next to the washtower.

stackable washer/dryer is normally 30-34”deep x27” wide x80” height. you really need to buy the w/d first or at least have exact dimensions of the one you are purchasing. Depending on your budget, you can move toilet to direct opposite wall but, personally Id rather see toilet than w/d when i walk in bathroom. can you take the hall closet into reno? if so youd have room on bathtub wall for w:d and folding counter if you were able to move back tub to butt up against entrance wall

Thanks. I guess that’s my “dilemma”. Do we want to see a w/d first or a toilet? And will I regret putting the toilet in a 35” space?
I can fold laundry in a nearby bedroom. No problem. The closet is needed in its current spot more so it’s staying. I found a compact w/d set for the left wall, if it’s on the right, I’ll do a unit like in this photo. I appreciate your suggestions and opinions!

I have a small size front load washer and dryer. They require 30 inches in depth. The LG washtower is 30 inches deep, but probably requires 5 inches behind it. It is just the two of us, so the small machines work for me. I'd go with a washtower for a larger family.

It’s so much easier to put the stackable where the shower was that you shouldn’t worry about seeing the toilet (it is a bathroom, after all).

We’re just getting started on this project
I found a washer/ dryer stack that is 23” wide and realized I could fit both a walk in and a 6’ tub in this bathroom! We’ll lose some cabinet space but I can use that hall closet… Think this be too much packed into this 9 x 11’ bathroom?
