Bathroom And Laundry Room Together

Home Reno Update: A Peek into our Half Bath Plans

You, lucky reader, get to see what is inspiring all the forthcoming changes, specifically why I’m so excited to share our half bath plans!Our current half bath is open to the kitchen, and we’re going to close that off and shift the laundry room around so you enter the half bath through the laundry room.

We’re installing a pocket door from the laundry to the half bath for some privacy and because the half bath and the laundry room will share a floor, we’re saving some money by keeping the tile the same throughout the two rooms.We ordered this tile for our laundry room and the half bath.This console sink doesn’t come with a faucet, so we picked up this one from Delta that’s reminiscent of old European Art Deco style.

Below are the details and after/before photos of my design solution for this half bath laundry room makeover.Laundry baskets and dirty laundry were always on the floor of bathroom since there was really no place to keep it.The dryer door opened over the toilet making it difficult to empty the dryer.Custom cabinet and counter retained if not gained more storage space.

Building our bath and laundry room

No home is complete without a proper bath and laundry room.We must have spent at least a week researching options for thinset, grout, backer board and the tile itself.Since the washer and dryer take up most of the room below, we chose a vessel sink for the counter.This did leave some room in the ceiling in the bathroom so we added some fold down drawers here too.We finished off the bathroom by designing and building a pocket door with translucent panels to let the light through.

Five Laundry Room Features

If anyone asked me what changed most in homes recently, I would cite laundry room features.And I’d need to credit new home builders and home renovators who are adding more functional — and at the same time more customized — laundry room features.

Here are five more laundry room features that combine glamor with utility room practicality.Laundry Room with Sorting Basket ShelvesI’m fairly besotted with this laundry room because I’m a sucker for the kind of storage it provides.

Everyone organizes in a different way but this is a laundry room intended for use by a family.

Our 3-Phase Bathroom + Laundry Room Renovation

Stay with me here friends — we are NOT putting our “main laundry room” in the basement.We figure we don’t want to renovate our current laundry room and put old appliances in the new space.

PHASE 2: Turn the current laundry room into a HALF bath.

PHASE 3: Turn the current bathroom into a laundry room WITH A SHOWER.

So we won’t even start working on the current bathroom until the half bathroom is completely finished.

Before and After: Updating a Half-Bath and Laundry

Jess says that when they moved into their house, the half-bath/laundry room was “so bad we just had to laugh about it.”The mural on the walls extended all the way to the ceiling, complete with blue skies and birds, which, while well painted, weren’t really their style.Updating a Half Bath with Laundry ClosetThe laundry closet in the bathroom was pretty stark and basic,so it was due for an overhaul, too:She says, “After 1 1/2 years of laughing about it, we decided we had to do something.

We hired L&M Construction to tear this room apart and help create my vision for the space.

They removed the flooring, frame for the laundry closet, sink, toilet, and light fixtures, and then put up some new drywall and a new ceiling.”“We had new Carrara marble hexagon floors installed, as well as a new pedestal sink and beadboard.”Here’s how the laundry looks with new cabinets and a counter across the washer and dryer:
