layout of powder room / half bath
We are remodeling our half bath - it’s 91 x 63 and currently has a 60” vanity. Ideally we’d keep the plumbing as it is to keep costs down which means the tall linen cabinet needs to go on the left next to the toilet….but it works better on the right… Do people think it’s still agreeable aesthetically on the left?!
We need to add the tall cabinet as we are really short of storage space for extra toilet rolls, washing powder etc as our laundry room is so small.

Half bath off front entry or none? (layout help)
Comments (8)I could reverse them, but then is it strange to have the toilet RIGHT on the other side of the dining room? (And to have it across from the front entry door?) And, it'd mean no mirror above the sink. I'm hesitant to do the pocket door for sound and privacy reasons. A swing in door absolutely won't work (no room to turn around to close it). The window is a high window about 5 feet off the ground and only 2' x 2'. It'll have a decorative stained glass insert that you won't be able to see through. It's already all framed in - no changing it now!...See MoreNeed help with awkward powder room (half bath)
Comments (6)can you put a wall mounted toilet in that room. It would mean more money and the tank is mounted within the wall. I am not sure how the floor waste drain would be reconfigured. Depending on how waste drain is managed, it could mean that you could mount the toilet on the other wall. But I don't know....See MoreHalf bath layout
Comments (9)It seems odd to have an actual return "vent in a powder room. Is the vent itself opening into this room? Is that bump out in the corner actually just drywall around duct from a return that opens to another room? If so, it could be used as a plant stand or you could build something around it. Or does the vent actually open in the powder room? One option: Is the vent itself on the top of that corner bump out? If so, one option would be to build the frame around it up so the return vent is at top of mirror level and then build a corner cabinet around -- beside and in front of it. Another option: If your vanity countertop were wall to wall, the vent in the back left corner would be hiding in the shadows; and, if you wanted to, you could set a clothes hamper between it and the vanity and/or a trash can between it and the toilet as long as it didn't block any vent.. Then you could hang wall shelving either centered between the window and the left wall or even a corner shelving unit. Another option: if the vent itself is on the side, you could build a cabinet above it and beside it the same date as the drywall around the vent....See MoreAdd 1/2 bath to laundry room or convert walk in pantry to half bath
Comments (24)If you mean configuring the laundry and powder room into the utility room space, then a remodeling contractor should be able to help you with placement/code or maybe other ideas. I think, in an ideal world, we could all have all the space we need for all the elements in a house we want. But I'd rather have a powder/laundry combo, if I've determined that I need another 1/2 bath, rather than make do with one less bath than my family needs because some people object to having a W/D in proximity to a toilet, or whatever it is they object to. If you can squeeze enough space, I like the kinds of doors that pull out and tuck into the sides of the WD to hide it if you feel the need. I had both of these pics saved when I was trying to figure out how to move my w/d from a too small for today's large W/D units laundry room to my main floor bath. The first one is a bit hard to see but the doors slide/tuck in beside the machines....See More

2 months agoWith our bathroom, we did something very similar to your second layout, where the linen closet is between the sink and the toilet. Our linen closet door is two parts, but the bottom piece is higher. I kind of think your layout looks a little strange with the lower door lining up with the vanity. Because I did a mock up of the linen cabinet with cardboard, we ended up adding a light that is basically centered between where someone’s feet would be if they were sitting on the toilet, and the wall right across from the feet (on the ceiling, of course). Previously, the vanity lights provided all of the light for the bathroom. Hopefully the photos will post.
