And - wow - I just typed the phrase “bathroom powerhouse” - I’m checking off life milestones left and right today.
Still, it is a classic and always a bathroom powerhouse. However, that efficiency comes with the downside that the room isn’t all that special, and it has limited counter space. There’s an efficiency in plumbing cost, as all the plumbing is on one wall. This is an efficient bathroom, and, it just plain works.

This is the good old “three-in-a-row” bathroom we’ve all seen. (If you'd like to learn more about either of these, let us know, we’d be happy to elaborate in a new post!) Rules of Thumb for Bathroom Design Lesson 1: Start with the Basics Also, bathrooms in multifamily buildings (like apartments) are a whole different ballgame due to accessibility rules. Bathrooms with just a toilet and a sink, known as powder rooms, are a different animal altogether, and not covered in this post. We’ll look at bathrooms with a shower (¾ bath), or bathrooms with a tub (full bath), or even combinations of both.
Side Note: This post covers the basics for single-family residential bathroom design. So, in the selfless interest of trying to make the bathrooms of America a little better, read on for some standard rules of bathroom design. When planning a bathroom (either when building new or remodeling) there are plenty of rules of thumb to follow for bathroom layout. Weird-shaped rooms angled tubs, toilets, showers and generally, spaces that are just plain awkward - these all seem to be hallmarks of poorly-designed bathrooms.
