Adding one more bathroom in your home will significantly increase its functionality. You may need this additional space for your growing family or for someone in the family with changing needs. If you’re considering selling your property in the future, this upgrade is something to think about.
What are the best locations in your home for a bathroom addition? Read on to find out from a local bathroom remodeling company.
A Walk-In Closet
One of the best places to add a bathroom is in an oversized, walk-in bedroom closet. A hall linen closet could also be easily converted into a half-bath with some structural changes. You can also invest in space-saving wardrobe systems that will give you more space for your bathroom.
Back-to-Back Closets
Some homes have built-in wardrobes or storage cupboards that back up to each other. By opening the space between them, you’ll have sufficient space for an ensuite or guest powder room.
A Hallway
In some cases, the end of a hallway can measure from 30 to 40 square feet. That much space is enough for an additional bathroom in your home. You can either build a half or full bath, depending on how much room is available and the rooms next to it. To make a bathroom at the end of the hallway more accessible, consider sliding doors. Be sure to consider whether your utilities can support this new bathroom before planning it.
An Existing Bathroom
A standard sink, toilet and tub require a minimum of five feet by six feet. Your bathroom remodeling contractor can split the space into two by relocating the fixtures. It would be great if the area you’ve selected has an existing window.
Under the Staircase
Usually, a sink and toilet can fit effortlessly under the stairs. If you’re thinking about adding a bath under a staircase, make sure to verify there is enough headroom first.
A Portion of a Bedroom
You can subtract around a three-foot slice from a large bedroom for a new bathroom. You can place the toilet at one end of the roof and a shower and a sink across a door in the partition.
First-Floor Laundry
To streamline your laundry room, you can add a modern stackable washer and dryer that consumes less space. You can then use the extra space for an extra bathroom.
