Whether you’re renovating your master ensuite or a powder room, chances are likely you’ll be sharing that space with relatives or houseguests. An ensuite bathroom needs extra counter space to accommodate the products you use on a daily basis. A powder room, on the other hand, may require extra storage space to keep essentials on hand – toilet paper, hand wash, towels and the like.
These are our recommendations for what should be included in your bathroom renovation:
Storage space
Sharing a bathroom with a significant other? Maybe your children are sharing a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. No matter the sharing situation, you want to ensure there is adequate storage space to not only keep everyone’s things separated, but to keep bottles of shampoo and lotions (and just about anything you keep in a bathroom) from cluttering the counter space. Your bathroom’s vanity should include pullout drawers and closed cabinetry. These drawers are essential to keeping organized and eliminating clutter in the bathroom.
A neat décor idea is to purchase baskets to keep in the cabinets. Label the cabinets with each person’s name. It’s a great way to keep everyone’s belongings organized – and tucked away if guests visit!
Install double sinks
If you’re sharing a bathroom with a loved one, you may find it increasingly difficult to get ready in the mornings. Consider having two sinks installed when you redo your bathroom. Double sinks give you that extra space you need to get ready without having to deal with complaints about taking too much time and space in the bathroom!
From a design perspective, double sinks look aesthetically pleasing. Your new bathroom will be such a transformation when it’s completed.
Build a water closet
If you’re the type of person that values privacy and finds difficulty in sharing a bathroom with others, then a water closet should top your must-have list for your next bathroom renovation. A water closet is simple – instead of having the toilet installed within the bathroom space, it’s installed in a small room right within your bathroom. It has its own door, giving you privacy while your loved one occupies the remaining bathroom space.
Consider these luxurious fixtures
When it comes to renovating a bathroom, a homeowner should have to undertake the project one (maybe twice) depending on how long they plan in living in the home. Since it’s not something you’ll do every five years, it’s important to decide what you want to spend your money on during the renovation. To maximize space, consider having a wall hung toilet installed. It takes up less space than a traditional toilet. If it’s being installed in the powder room, it can give you more room to install cabinetry to store accessories.
