Sink Faucet

Reply to: You will lose 2' on each side for hanging space that leaves 6 ' in the center or 7' if shelves are 1' deep if you add an island you will have to walk around it each time you want to get dressed I would put shoe storage along the wall to the left in the pictue a nice bench in the center and have it nice and open.

Reply to: Visuals are always helpful. This graphic shows average dimensions for a closet with an island -- you have literally a bedroom's sized closet planned, but with an island, it isn't all that big: So this suggests a 13' wide closet and a 3' wide island with 3' walkways. With an 11' wide closet, you can have a 1' wide island with 3' walkways. Or a 2' wide island with 2 1/2' walkways. Note that this arrangement requires that you walk around the island to get to things on the other side of the space ... this would make extra work in putting away clothes. What does a 3' wide walkway look like? If you believe the internet, this is a 3' walkway -- looks comfortable, but not luxurious in size. And this is a 2 1/2' walkway -- I have this width in my small closet, and it's functional, but a few more inches would be very welcome. Instead of an island, consider a bench. It takes up less visual space, but still serves both sides of the closet: Alternately, a rounded pouff is more feminine: I think if this were my space, I'd rather have a wide open middle ... with a built-in dresser on one side and a chair in the middle. It feels larger and more functional. You have a world of storage around the edges and don't really need the storage of an island. If you're thinking of a place to set out a suitcase /pack for trips, you can get a fold-away suitcase rack.

Reply to: Thanks. Yes, a teak mat. This one feels very comfy as it does have rounded edges and the spacing is narrow. We were/are concerned over the cof for the polished floor, so the mat has rubber on the bottom and will allow drying off a bit before the harrowing step onto the tile... :)

Reply to: Are you just getting a new bed or do you plan to get nightstands, lamps, bedding, etc.? Those tall curved headboards always feel very overwrought to me and in a room with 8 foot ceilings, they also feel out of proportion. They don't convey masculine at all. This one from West Elm has some curves and comes in a variety of fabric choices. Pair it with a wood frame. https://www.westelm.com/products/myla-headboard-h8511/?

Reply to: Joining in here from the Ontario plumbing scene. You are right to be cautious - a 3.5-inch sink is what we call a "vessel" or "European" depth, and if you pick the wrong faucet, washing your hands can feel like a trip to Niagara Falls. I’ve seen plenty of these installed in modern GTA condos and powder rooms. To keep your vanity dry, here are the "Pro" dimensions you should be looking for: 1. The "Bullseye" Rule StarCraft Custom Builders is right about reach, but with a sink this shallow, you actually want to avoid the "direct hit" on the drain. The Aim: Try to find a faucet where the water hits about 1 inch behind the drain. If the water hits the drain grate directly, the metal often causes the water to "shatter" and spray upward. If it hits the porcelain just behind the drain, the curve of the sink will catch the energy of the water and swirl it down the drain more quietly. 2. Spout Height vs. Depth A "Low Arc" is definitely your friend here. The Math: Look for a spout height (the distance from the vanity top to where the water comes out) that is no more than 4 to 5 inches. Why: If the water has a long way to fall, it gains velocity. High-arc faucets create more force when they hit the bottom of a shallow basin, causing more splash-back. 3. Aeration is Key In Ontario, most faucets are low-flow by code, but you want to check the type of stream. Laminar Flow: This is a clear, solid stream of water (often seen in high-end "boutique" faucets). While it looks beautiful, it splashes more on shallow surfaces. Aerated Flow: Look for a faucet with a high-quality aerator. It mixes air into the water, making it feel "soft" and significantly reducing splash-back when it hits the porcelain. 4. Angle of the Spout Check the "angle of departure." Some faucets point straight down, while others aim the water forward at an angle. For a 3.5-inch sink, you want a faucet that points straight down (90 degrees) rather than one that "shoots" the water forward toward the front rim of the sink. My Advice: Take a tape measure to the showroom. Measure from the center of your faucet hole to the center of your drain. Subtract 1 inch from that number - that is your ideal Spout Reach.
