A Jack and Jill bathroom is a bathroom shared between two bedrooms. It’s an excellent option for families looking to save space. A bathroom remodeler might recommend this bathroom type because it can serve to fill the needs of two rooms instead of just one. While it does have its drawbacks, it’s a practical choice for growing families or homeowners who want to repurpose that extra space to meet the other needs of the household.
Since a Jack and Jill Bathroom is a shared space, it’s important to consider a few key elements when designing it. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Hollywood enumerates some of them in this article.
Privacy
A bathroom contractor and homeowner needs to consider privacy first and foremost. The bathroom is one of the most personal spaces in a house. Having this space shared among the household members can lead to conflict and might do more harm than good. One key thing is to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of locks to bar entry while it’s in use. Locks should also be put in place outside of the bathrooms so that each bedroom can remain private when someone is using the bathroom.
Layout
There are various kinds of layouts for Jack and Jill bathrooms. A complete bathroom layout, for example, means that each bedroom would have its sink plus a bathtub, toilet, and/or shower in one room. Another option would also be to have the toilet be in a separate room for each bedroom with the shower, sink, and bathtub as the only shared spaces. Each inhabitant’s preferences and each home’s special circumstances need to be considered when choosing the layout.
What Should You Put Inside
The number of bathroom fixtures needed in a single Jack and Jill bathroom depends on the size of the family or the needs of the particular household. A larger family might need more than two or three sinks to accommodate the people who would use the bathroom.
In addition, the people using the bathrooms need to be taken into account. Adults who rush to work often prefer the efficiency of a shower compared to a bathtub. On the other hand, adults who want to relax might better appreciate the bathtub.
