Vanity and sizing.

8 years ago

We are building our retirement home. The vanity with cabinet divider is beautiful and functional. Do you know the dimensions of it, and what size room will handle this graciously? Also what is the counter material? And paint color? Thank you, in advance!

Congratulations on planning your retirement home! If you haven't already, it would be smart to work with your builder and someone with an Aging in Place accreditation- such as National Association of Home Builders' (NAHB) CAPS (Certified Aging in Place Specialist). They can give you lots of great ideas for planning purposes.

To answer your questions, this room is approximately 10' x 12' with an 8' ceiling. The cabinets are semi-custom with the upper cabinet at 30" wide. The counter height is 36". The window wall in the image is limestone large format tiles. The counter tops are limestone as well. All of which are triple sealed. We used the same stone slab material to fabricate the wall cap and the shower seat.

As a side note, not only are the floors thermostatically controlled, but the seat in the shower is as well!

You could do a wet room on the south end of the room with the tub and shower combined to conserve space. Window would go above tub, however with privacy in mind it would not be low as you have in your cad drawing. see photo. Vanities would go on the west wall with toilet on the east wall. I am guessing at the dimensions because you mention meters and in the US we use feet, but it sounds like about 9'x15" ? The location of the entry door really impacts the layout of the room, but it looks like it cannot be moved.

I agree with emily. if you want leave connections and/or a little extra room for what you don't want, but feel you may need for resale. I think the tub is a pretty important item. wet room not at all, and shower is give or take. i would prefer a big shower and a tub for soaking in, but I have always had the combo. I remember my mom built during big wet bar craze, she did not care for one. had space built, capped off connections and use as a closet. Now it is 35 years later, everyone wants to buy and tear down. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. i agree, I would also really like the separate toilet, we are not share everything people.

always prefer separate toilet with handbasin, the bathroom has plenty of space for generous fixtures up to the sizes shown but the bathroom should be planned to suit potential users and relative to the whole plan (where are the windows?) next door rooms, orientation, outlook etc...this is one suggestion that has the best view on entering the room with the shower (tallest) at the side, bath with potential view, vanity with option for two basins and matching mirror doored wall cabinet and the toilet handbasin next to the shower keeps the plumbing sounds away from adjoining rooms more details may inspire other suggestions

my fiance & i are building a new home & we'd like some practical inspiration with designing master ensuite. the size of the room is 2.8m x 5.2, it is separate from the walk in wardrobe no need to worry about steam etc entering it. we'd like a minimalistic but functional bathroom, it will has a main window facing north / east side of the room. thought about a cavity door entering the room, would like the toilet hidden from view if the other person is lying on bed. wishlist to consider: dual shower heads, with only one of them that has a rain shower head dual basin on one vanity with mirror above one toilet shower a walk in similar to the photo i've included that was found on houzz glass to prevent water all over the floors heated towel rail, similar to the individual bars in the photo
