Master bath vanity - back-to-back alternatives

2 years ago

We have a new build underway and are working plans. See attached plan for the master and bath. Specific to the sink/vanity area….curious to input on the “back-to-back” configuration….wondering if it will feel strange….at minimum the lighting needs to be above each respective sink and not in the middle….i also stumbled across a different back to back arrangement - see pic. Has anyone experienced either of these and any thoughts? The current configuration….in a way feels like there isn’t privacy….we’ve also been married a long time so likely not something to worry about!

"and are working plans."

What does that mean?

You could do more of a his-and-hers setup, perhaps with the shower as a shared element.

We have "front to front" in the new house we're (almost) ready to move into. For our needs it was more of a design issue and gave us space with also a bit of openness.

I'd be a little concerned about the infinite mirror effect of the back to back configuration and wonder if it would drive you crazy?

The infinite mirror effect is distracting the first five minutes and then only guests comment.

The infinite mirror effect can be a source of entertainment for years to come.

There was a movie theater in Mt. Clemons, Michigan that had mirrors in their lobby. I do not remember what movies I saw there as a kid, but I do remember the infinite mirror effect.

The droste effect: your own private portal to hell. Cool!

Great for stairs too!
