Designing a shared bathroom can be an exciting project. Before settling on a design and hiring a bathroom contractor to bring it to life, it is crucial to consider the needs and preferences of everyone who will be using it. In this post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park provides several things to consider to help you create a unique yet functional shared bathroom that all occupants will love.
Available Space
Make sure you have enough space to build a shared bathroom. Both small and big homes can renovate existing bathrooms to open from both sides. Furthermore, consider changing the layout of fixtures to maximize every square inch available and create a more functional and unique look.
Budget
Always consider your budget for every material you purchase, the contractor you hire and other aspects of your bathroom project. Laminate, ceramic, marble and granite have varying prices and introduce different aesthetics and function to your bathroom. Talk to your bathroom remodeler about the materials and features that will give you the best value for money on any budget.
Necessary Features
Do you have an older adult or a family member with a disability? Are you sharing it with your spouse? Your shared bathroom should cater to everyone’s needs. With numerous people using the bathroom, you can add a dual sink countertop, separate shower stalls and larger toilet enclosures. You can also ask your bathroom remodeler to design one side of the bathroom exclusively for each user’s needs.
Designing the Shared Bathroom
Select Fixtures
Think about how your new design will incorporate fixtures into the overall look and feel of the space. Choose an elegant faucet for a traditional vibe or install contemporary finishes to create a modern touch. If you have elders at home, you may need more senior-friendly fixtures to help them move around safely and comfortably.
Consider Accessories
Once the bath project is complete, adding accessories is the next task. Use stylish mats and storage baskets that can double as decor and have a practical use. Add floating vanities for sharing counter space and double mirrors to create a unified look. You can also install wall art and use aesthetic items like beautiful towels, perfume and soap bottles.
