Home remodeling projects involving creative bathroom layouts can include a simple upgrade of a vanity, or the replacement of a toilet. However, complete overhauls often involve relocating the plumbing drains and electrical lines to truly transform the remodeled space.
The ideal solution for an affordable bathroom upgrade is to use the existing space. While the interior of the room might have its shortcomings and restrict the installation of a variety of features, keeping the room the same size is usually the least expensive option. Even the cramped space or lack of storage area might be overcome through a creative design.
The first step in developing a creative bathroom layout is to make a list of all desired priorities. Every major fixture and component in the bathroom brings with it a unique set of requirements. This might include specific electrical wiring or new drain line.
Every design is possible, including installing a whirlpool tub with enough interior space for two. Maybe you see an oversize walk-in decorative shower, or a separate enclosure to house the toilet, or an elongated vanity that contains two sinks. While every priority may not be incorporated in to the final plan, choices can be made to create a near-perfect ideal bathroom layout design.
Consistency
Wherever the bathroom is located in the home, it needs to create consistency when walking from one room to another. Bathrooms connected to the master bedroom require a smooth transition that might tie existing textures and colors of both spaces to provide a natural flow. If the bathroom is used by the entire household, incorporate the same style in the remodeled bathroom, whether contemporary or traditional, to provide a more comfortable transition from one room to the next.
Incorporate Functionality
While all bathroom layouts are based on personal preference, incorporating functionality into the area is a “must have” priority. A quality design will ensure there is enough storage space, countertop space, and ample room for a walk-in shower and/or tub. Consider every aspect of using the bathroom, before making well-informed decisions on how to best maximize the functionality of the shower, tub, and vanity space.
Dual sinks in a family bathroom tend to be highly useful. However, when space is limited, a single vanity sink will often provide more countertop area, which can often be a considered a luxury in a small bathroom.
The Toilet
In some bathrooms layouts, toilets dictate the design, along with how and where it is positioned. A high quality design usually takes the focal point away from the toilet, and places it on exceptional features including the vanity, tub or shower. Even so, the toilet should blend in well with the rest of the components inside the bathroom, and match the style of the room’s design.
Some creative bathroom incorporate embellishments including bright colored painted walls, bold prints, and decorative features. No matter what the design, it is important to incorporate a personal sense of style into the room, to offer a level of comfortableness and creativity. Designers and contractors can build nearly any type of bathroom if given ample space, time and funding.
