5 Common Bathroom Layout Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them) Introduction
Planning a bathroom renovation is incredibly exciting. It is easy to get caught up choosing the perfect tile or the dream freestanding bathtub. However, the most critical element of a successful renovation is the floor plan. Even the most expensive fixtures will lose their charm if your space feels cramped or awkward to use.[1, 2, 3]
At our showroom, we see hundreds of floor plans a year. Here are the five most common layout mistakes homeowners make—and how to fix them before construction begins. [1]
Pitfalls to be aware of
The Toilet View: Never position the toilet directly opposite the bathroom door. Keep it tucked out of sight to create a more welcoming first impression when entering the room.
Ignoring the “Swing”: Always measure door openings. Ensure your entry door, shower enclosure door, and vanity drawers don’t collide when opened at the same time. [1]
Skimping on Storage: A beautiful pedestal sink looks sleek, but it offers zero storage. Opt for a modern vanity unit to keep your daily essentials tucked away cleanly.
Poor Lighting Placement: A single overhead light creates harsh shadows on your face when looking in the mirror. Pair task lighting (like an illuminated mirror) with ambient ceiling lights.
Misjudging a Small Footprint: Trying to cram a separate bath and shower into a compact space makes it look smaller. Consider a spacious walk-in wetroom layout instead.
