Things You Need to Consider Before Planning Your Bathroom Layout

Are you tired of the bathroom? We understand that you want your bathroom to feel like a spa. To help you choose the right elements, find inspiration and get started on your bathroom remodel, we have created a brief bathroom planning guide. No matter how small or large your bathroom is, you will find essential layout tips to help you remodel it.

Find the right team


Bathroom remodels require a lot of planning. You can do the majority of the work yourself but you will need to verify that your bathroom is compliant with all electrical, water, and waste regulations. It's a good idea for bathroom remodels that involve a total tear-down and rebuild.

If you don't feel like doing most of the work yourself, you will likely need an electrician, plumber, tile professional, cabinet specialist, or carpenter. It is worth hiring a plumber, as this aspect of the remodel requires the most knowledge.

Keep the Form in Mind - Make the Plan and Remember: Function Follows Form


It is important to have a well-thought-out and functional floor plan in order to create a bathroom that you will enjoy for many years. Think about how many people will use the bathroom and what they are most commonly used for. You should design the space with functionality in mind.

Plan your layout by deciding how many "wet walls" (walls with plumbing), you need and what price range. You will have more flexibility if you have more wet walls. If you have existing plumbing and electrical hookups, the remodel will go faster and cost less.

Let's now take a look at some important considerations that should be made for each type of bathroom.

Half-baths: Usually located on the ground floor, these powder rooms are used as guest bathrooms. They have a toilet and a sink but no shower. This layout is popular for small bathrooms as it saves time and materials.

Attached baths
: There are some special considerations when remodelling an attached bathroom to your bedroom. An exhaust fan is necessary to remove moisture and cover noise from bathrooms that do not have windows. These baths can also be used to upgrade toilets with modern, quiet inlet valves.

Custom Bathrooms:
These bathrooms are perfect for master suites. You can install new fixtures and matching bathroom cabinets and countertops in custom bathrooms. Two sinks and additional storage are two of the most popular options for custom baths. A professional can help you design your custom bath.

Bathroom fixtures need space to function comfortably. You need to ensure that the door can open and that you have enough space to reach the sink.
