Getting out of the door on time in the mornings can be a challenge for anyone. Imagine the convenience of having an extra bathroom without spending a fortune. Twin it up! I can already hear your internal monologue saying ‘What?’, ‘Yes!’, and ‘How?’
Renovating your bathroom to fit two people getting ready at the same time is a great idea to increase the functionality of your existing space.
Here are some tips to help you create an extra bathroom:
- Double Vanity:
Install a double vanity to provide each person with their own sink. This provides ample space for washing hands, applying makeup, brushing teeth, or shaving.
- Shower with Dual Heads:
An extended shower recess with dual shower heads is a great option for couples because it allows each person to adjust the water temperature and pressure to their liking.
- Large Mirrors:
Installing two mirrors above each basin will allow both people to get ready at the same time without getting in each other’s way. Alternatively, you can install one large mirror that spans the entire double vanity unit.
- Separate Toilet Area:
Consider adding a tiled wall, divider, or visual barrier to the toilet area to provide privacy while one person is using the toilet.
- Storage Space:
Make sure to include ample storage space to keep toiletries and other items organized and easily accessible. Dual shaving cabinets are a great way to do this.
- Good Lighting:
Proper lighting is crucial for a functional bathroom with a double vanity. Consider installing over basin lighting for vanity usage as well as regular downlights.
- Power Outlets:
Adding extra electrical outlets will ensure that each person can plug in their hairdryer, electric razor, and other grooming tools.
No more swapping in and out of the water with your partner in between the shampoo and body wash. By following these tips, you can create an ‘extra bathroom’ that is functional and efficient for two people to get ready at the same time.
