I'm really glad you have made a point about the toilet. I have recently looked at some designs of some modern houses and I really don't like where they have put the bathroom. These houses are expensive and I don't like how the bathroom opens near the kitchen.

So great to see your suggestions and layouts. Ive just renovated my bathroom. Its very very small, so it was difficult to have many designs or choices. Your ideas are very valuable and exciting. I had to keep my storage minimal. My scales and rubbish bin were important as was my toilet paper bin. But im happy with my small space. I just wanted a simple and easy bathroom at minimal cost. I demolished my bathroom myself renovated it too with herringbone sheet tiles and small hexagon ceramic tiles which was hard but I did it. I couldn't move much around but i went with a shower after taking out the 1960s bath tub and horrible popped vanity and flooring. I live by myself and very pleased with my work. Your ideas were very helpful. Thank you for such a wealth of expertise. Anne NZ

Unfortunately, commercial homebuilders don't always follow these commonsense rules. I'm talking about windowless bathrooms and powder rooms in the entire house. There's no way around them, esp. for that windowless powder room with an outward opening door that's just inside the front entry door and right across from the kitchen. Although the powder room has no sightlines of the toilet and sink from the kitchen, the location itself is problematic -- too close to the front door and too close to the kitchen that is partially open by a pony wall that borders the 12-ft entry hall. That builder went out of business two decades if you're wondering....

Love your video, great tips. In general, the comfort high toilets confuse me slightly. For us shorties, they are definitely not comfortable. But I would think that the shorter toilets would overall be better for all people relieving themselves (thinking about the squatty potty). Is the comfort height more beneficial for standing back up after being seated?
@Designchickee2 жыл бұрын
The taller seat simply makes it easier to sit down and stand up. The higher seat alleviates discomfort that comes from squatting down and cocking the knees out to the sides. A comfort height toilet is especially beneficial for taller people, seniors and anyone with knee or back pain. Thanks for watching!!

PLEASE!!!! Just. Say. NOOOO!!!! to a "water closet" unless it is a "walk in closet" size:. They are hard to clean especially behind the toilet. Even harder to maneuver in if you have plumbing issues or mobility issues that are permanent or temporary. And, if you ever want or need to paint.... it is gruelling. It is also a claustrophobic experience for some people,. AND, if you insist on going down this road anyway, make sure you figure out where you are going to keep the extra toilet paper and... a plunger, and perhaps your toilet bowl cleaner. You will need these things.. Nothing worse than realizing you are out of toilet paper and need to leave "the closet" to get some more. A plunger. There is something we all use but no one ever thinks about "where am I going to store this fugly thing?" Yep.... we have a three sided "water closet: and I hate it. For every single reason I have just said. I am not that tall, 5:3 and I hate my knees banging into the side walls. We will be renovating soon and this wall is getting cut down to about 12" or so, enough to make an enclave above the toilet where some floating shelves can go. Much nicer, much more practical. Far easier to keep clean behind the toilet. Please do not listen to idiot designers (which Designer Chick is not) and home builders or renovators who want to give you things that look good, but do NOT function well. It should always be make it work well, function well, practical... then make it pretty.

Yes please! We’re renovating our ensuite in early spring for aging in place so this would be very timely. I’m confused about where and how high to place necessary elements. What needs to be considered to accommodate a walker, should that ever become necessary? Love your videos!
@653j5212 жыл бұрын
Brigitte Moore I was thinking the same thing with a wheelchair. A straight shot to the toilet is the easiest way.
@AquarelleArtist10 ай бұрын
To accommodate a walker you need a door that is at least 30 inches wide. Our grandmother had to stand still and turn the walker sideways and manhandle it through the door opening and then rearrange it after getting it through the door so she could continue to the toilet. At 99 years she needed the support of the walker to simply stand. One day she fell backwards and I caught her. My back has never been the same. Such a shame that almost all builders only allow for a 24 inch wide bathroom door.

I'd be interested to know how one would tackle bathroom placement in an old house that has no hallways, just connected rooms. Currently, one has to walk through one of two bedrooms to get to the only bathroom in the house. We're currently looking at turning a room is classified as a bedroom into a second bathroom, because it's the only place we could i stall a bathroom without access. The thing is, this room located right off of the dining room.

I have to disagree with 'curbless' shower floors. I have an elderly mum & she has a walker. We are taking out her bath & making the space into a walk in shower... but keeping a very low rounded curb. The reason: to contain the water. In the many curbless walk in showers I've seen - water always flows out of the shower area, even when angles slope to the drainage hole. It is also dangerous when an elderly person steps out of the shower area on to wet floor. Curbless showers ALWAYS need mopping of the bathroom floors after, & many elderly start getting too cold if they don't get dressed quickly. Also their clothes can get wet from the wet floors if they like to dress in the bathroom.

Both of my bathrooms touch exterior walls but for some reason neither have a window. 🤯 And to top it off the master bathroom toilet sits center to BOTH doorways so unless I’m willing to have the toilet relocated then I can’t remove the extra door that separates the toilet and shower from the vanity and closet.

No free-standing tub for me. That means there would need to be a shower, which needs the glass cleaned after every use. I've designed a bathroom with separate vanities, two toilets, and a shower that needs no glass or shower curtain. I'm past retirement age and my knees won't allow for getting in or out of a tub. I know-- resale value... I don't decorate for the next owners. I make it like I need it to be. Next one can do the same.
