I like all the ones that your head when sitting in the tub is not near the toilet.
I think it was ten that seemed to give you the largest vanity.
Never the less just think of yourself sitting in the tub and what you want to look at from the tub and that will help with deciding there is no wrong answer here.
Number 2 is pretty standard, and in my experience it's functional as well. It gives plenty of floor space and if you need more storage a small storage rack or hamper or whatever can be placed across from the toilet. It also gives the most room for a vanity.
I like number 10.
I would pick number 5 lt looks like it will give you the most room
I think I like 10 the best because the entire tub is still accessible for cleaning and the toilet is right next to it so you can get an over toilet shelf to have a few towels on. I also like the extra counter space there is for the sink.
I was in a rental house where the bathtub was right up against the cabinet for the sink unit. It was a pain trying to clean the tub because the cabinet was at least 1/4 of the tub length.
I may have liked some of the first few but I could not figure out what the brown things were, a closet or what.
I prefer #6 but with the toilet turned to the short wall next to the door. This will give you more space and that's something you will definitely want. The wall directly across from sink you can put a long mirror and this will make it seem larger. Also a pedestal sink will not take up as much space as one encased. Hope my ideas help!
2-plumbing will be cheaper all on one wall
Kind-of #1. I have TUB longated at end but instead of the traditional 5', I went to the 6' Whirlpool tub and added extra wood brace in wall to attach handrail. (Came in handy few years later when stiff from an accident.)
SINK against its own wall with room for large cabinet below & large above wall cabinet. One side of the sink base cabinet we installed sliding racks for toilet paper & misc. Sink installed close to where your back would be when in tub. Oops forgot to take off watch, etc.. or spot to place candles or cup of coffee = handy shelf while in tub.
TOILET. I have mixed feelings on this placement. Across from sink = easy to get toilet paper while on toilet, extra space at empty wall opposite of tub for small table or clothes hamper. But where would a robe hang? Where would your towel rack be?
TOILET. Different from this layout, but put against opposite wall of tub. This gives the feeling of more privacy - more 'hidden' from the door. The toilet is also the most used of the bathroom and handier to be first when enter room. Where do you store the extra toilet paper? However, you now have a larger space for dressing/undressing, more options for robe & towel racks plus a hamper or small dressing table.
I think number 2 is a great choice. Its very funtional and gives you lots of space.
#8- thats like my bathroom and I like the use of space..th only diff is my bathroom has the jet-tub in front and a stand -up shower behind it..
main reasons i like the lay out is that the toilet is away from the door/not the first thing you see wheny ou walk in and the vanity covers it a little.
6
i don't want anything too close to the toilet. it i loose my balance i don't want to fall and hurt my head. i also want it uncluttered around the toilet because it's easier to clean.
i heard that toilet water (when the toilet is flushed) sprays out up to 6 feet; so i have to have my toothbrush at least 6 feet away from the toilet (and i keep it covered, too).
ve every thing installed in ur bathroom and enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyy
