If you don’t have the space to line up all your fixtures single file, you’ll either need to pick and choose, combine functionality, or get a little creative with the way you use your space. Of course, not all narrow bathrooms are particularly long. Japanese style soaking tubs are some of the most stylish space savers, and can give an odd shaped bathroom a really elegant, sophisticated feel (design by Coates Design Architects Seattle) “Small” Looks Different In A Narrow Bathroom Putting your vanity next to your tub rather than your shower will keep the shower door from bumping into you while you’re brushing your teeth. That way, you won’t have to maneuver around them. Make sure to arrange your major fixtures so their doors won’t touch when they’re both open. Doors (shower, bathroom, or cabinet) can easily butt into each other if you aren’t careful. That said, you’ll need to be careful of clearance. If you stick to open-air fixtures or frameless shower doors, this will create a much more open, balanced feel. In this case, your walkway will be right down the middle, so the ends of the room won’t be the focal points of the space. In a wider bathroom, you might have the space to stagger your fixtures, line them up across from one another, or recess some of them into one wall or the other. Slightly wider long bathrooms benefit a lot from good pre-planning and a layout that ensures there’s enough wiggle room around each fixture (by Beverly Broun Interiors, photo by John Cole) The far ends of a long bathroom are where you’ll have the most room to work with, so put your bigger fixtures there, and make sure they’re attractive to look at across the length of the space. If the door is on the long side of the bathroom, it should open up directly on an important design feature – like a freestanding tub, or your bathroom vanity.
Focus on what you’ll see when you open the door to the bathroom. But while this arrangement is inherently imbalanced, paying attention to the visual focal points in your space can make a big difference in the overall feel of the bathroom. Leaving the opposite side open is sometimes the only way to have a clear walkway through the space. In a very narrow bathroom, there might not be enough space to do anything but put all your fixtures up against one wall. Bathrooms with all the fixtures on one side can feel unbalanced, so it’s important to arrange them in a way that feels visually interesting from different points in the room (by Atelier Noel)
