Honestly, it feels a bit overwhelming so I’ve tried to make a few decisions per week and am trying to feel ok with that. So, although I have a single glass pane on my design board, I will have to have a door that opens in (or maybe even slides because I’m not sure that there’s enough clearance for the shower head).Īs you can tell, I still have quite a few decisions to make on the whole space. This means that I can’t have a stagnant shower glass pane because you wouldn’t be able to squeeze in the shower between the side of the toilet and the shower itself. I WISH the shower plumbing was laid out on the right side of the room but it’s on the left. Immediately on your right will be the vanity, followed by the toilet and then the shower. I know this larger one will be a tad tight but I felt like it was the best option for our space.Īs far as how the bathroom is laid out, it’s pretty standard! The door will swing in and to the left. I measured the old vanity and it was 45″. For this space, we ordered a vanity that is 46.5 wide. I suppose this isn’t a horrible plumbing complication but it definitely limits where we can put in a shower niche.

There’s also another water supply line on the wall on the right. The exposed pipes that you see here are the water pipes to the laundry room. Unfortunately, the shower also has some plumbing complications. We plan to raise that up about a foot and I think it will help that part of the space to feel larger. The shower feels pretty small but I think part of that is because the shower plumbing is hung low. The basement bathroom rough-in is just over 4ft x 9ft. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to share sizes with you. Bathroom Layout Before + Bathroom DemoĪs you see, we have a ton of work to do, but there’s progress. I put together a video walkthrough so you could see how it’s all going down. So, I thought that by sharing our basement bathroom with you today, I could share more about the design decisions that we are making because of the bathroom layout, plumbing layout and more.ĪND… I’ll share the design of the space too, because I know everyone loves to look at a pretty design board more than a demo’d bathroom with plumbing exposed! =)īefore we talk about the pretty stuff, let’s chat about where we are at with the space and I’ll share some of the before’s with you. We’ve also been planning a potential bathroom addition at our family cabin (for early next year) and I just had the hardest time getting my bathroom layout dimension questions answered. As I’ve been making decisions about the design of the space, I’ve found a lack of information about bathroom layout dimensions so I wanted to share about that. We are finally past most of the demo phase of our basement bathroom and I couldn’t be happier. I’m sharing how we are designing around the layout of both the plumbing and the walls in today’s post. Our basement bathroom layout is pretty standard, but some of the bathroom plumbing is not.
