Choosing a Type of Bathroom
The best way to begin developing a bathroom plan is to clarify what you want
and need. Do you want a place to bathe the kids, a luxurious adult retreat,
or a stylish half-bath where guests can freshen up? As you are deciding what
features your bathroom should include, focus on the specific needs and preferences
of the people who will use it.
Master Baths
No longer just a washroom attached to the bedroom, the master bath can now feature
luxurius amenities, from sitting areas and entertainment centers to fireplaces
and panoramic views. The once ubiquitous boxy white bathtub has been replaced
with whirpool and soaking tubs, and the shower may feature water-massage jets
for a soothing spa experience. Two sinks and an oversized mirror are a must.
To accomodate all these extras, the master bath has grown to huge proportions.
If your house was built for a bygone era, you may have difficulty finding enough space for an elaborate master bath. It may be possible to annex a closet, a landing or a small bedroom, but be aware that older homes often lack adequate support for modern fixtures such as oversized whirpools and soaking tubs. Unless you are building an addition, you may need to have a contractor reinforce the floors and supporting structure. If you want to keep things simple or you can't find the room to expand, consider skipping the oversized tub and substituting it with a roomy shower or a smaller, lightweight whirpool.
Shared Baths
If your bathroom will serve more than one person at a time, it should offer
each user a little personal space. A typical configuration isolates the toilet
and shower from the sink and grooming area. Ideally, the toilet should be concealed
in a separate "water closet", but a low wall, or even a decorative
screen can provide a measure of privacy.
To effectively accomodate multiple users, a shared bathroom should have two sinks, as well as a personal storage area for everyone. Whether you install a dual-sink vanity or separate pedestal sinks, each grooming station should have a mirror, an electrical outlet, and adequate lighting.
