Title: 6 Considerations for Creating the Ultimate His and Hers Bathroom
1CONSIDERATIONS FOR CREATING
THE ULTIMATE HIS AND HERS BATHROOM
2CONSIDER HOW YOULL USE THE SPACE
Whether renovating or starting from scratch, you
need to know how to use the space. Bathrooms are
all about practicality, but they also should be
unique to you and your family, so if you love the
look of a bathtub but know it will never get
used, dont include one.
3DOUBLE SHOWER HEAD
A his and hers style bathroom wouldnt be
complete without a double shower head. Depending
on the layout of your bathroom and plumbing
situation, you can either place the shower heads
next to each other or across from one another. As
we mentioned earlier, consider how you will use
the space. If you have younger kids or dogs who
somehow end up in the bathroom, consider adding
in a shower hose.
4KEEP IT NEUTRAL
Depending on each taste, designing a his and hers
bathroom could go one of two ways. Either you
agree on everything or have a heated
discussion. To avoid the latter, we recommend
sticking to a neutral colour palette. This way,
you can keep colour choices at a minimum and can
add in pops of colours with towels and other
styling items.
5ONE MIRROR OR TWO?
Consider your storage options if youre tossing
up between one shared mirror or two. If you dont
have any below bench storage, use two mirrors to
your advantage. Include shelving behind the
mirrors to increase storage space.
6SINGLE OR DOUBLE BASIN?
You can still have a his and hers bathroom with
one basin -it just needs to be big enough for
both of you to share. There are pros and cons to
each having two individual basins means personal
space but less bench space, whereas one large
basin means more bench space. Again this choice
should be based on how you use your area.
7WHAT ABOUT THE TOILET?
Having the toilet in the bathroom can be a
complete divide for some. Do you include it in
the bathroom, or should you have it completely
separate? Where plumbing is located is often out
of your control. If you are not a bathroom toilet
fan, but it has to stay, add a half wall for a
little extra privacy.
