Double sink double tower.
The most common bathroom layout is the single plumbed wall. All fixtures are lined up and served from one compact source of drains, water supplies and venting. This saves on plumbing installation and provides efficient distribution of heated water, especially when the wall is near a water heater. These walls need to be constructed of 2-by-6 studs, rather than 2-by-4s, mainly to accommodate the larger vent stack for the toilet. Even if your home has a large master bath, it likely has at least one bathroom elsewhere in the house that’s arranged this way.Tubs. Standard tubs with apron fronts are 60 inches (152 centimeters) long and 30 to 32 inches (76 to 81 centimeters) wide. The depth can be as little as 14 inches (35 centimeters) and as much as 20 inches (50 centimeters). Toilets. You need at least 30 inches (76 centimeters) of clear width for toilets, but 32 to 36 inches (81 to 91 centimeters) is much better for most people. Single sinks. For a single sink, you need at least 30 inches (76 centimeters) of width, but 36 to 48 inches (91 to 107 centimeters) is more comfortable. Double sinks. You can squeeze two sinks into 60 inches (152 centimeters) of width, but 72 inches (183 cent...
Whitehead suggests putting the fan and lighting on separate switches. “I don’t want the fan to go on automatically every time I go in to wash my hands,” he says. Putting each light source — or a logical combination of light sources — on different switches allows you to choose what you want lit when.Tip: If you use recessed cans over the sink, make sure they are on a different switch than your task lighting, as Anderson did.Houzzers: How could your bathroom use a lighting makeover?
4. Last year: You removed clutter by boxing items and putting them in the garage to deal with later.This year: The garage is both a great place to store things and a terrible place to store things. It’s ideal for keeping infrequently used, or large and bulky, items such as seasonal decorations, sports equipment and camping gear. However, storing things in boxes in the garage can result in the items becoming out-of-sight, out-of-mind.Don’t move items into the garage to avoid decision-making. Instinctively, you probably already know if something is of no value to you — yet you pack it in the garage anyway, possibly to avoid dealing with it. For example, that inflatable pool you accepted as a hand-me-down from a friend — it would be so great for the grandkids, but you know you aren’t likely to spend the time and effort to set up, take down and repack such a large item. Or maybe you have instructional videos, promotional freebies and participation medals that don’t have much meaning to you. But you feel you should keep them, just in case. I recommend you drop that keep-it habit and start deciding right away whether to hang on to an item. Otherwise, your intention of going through boxes...

The same granite, all the way up. In this kitchen, the beautiful slab of Cashmere White granite extends to the bottom of the upper cabinets and vent hood. This shows off its pattern beautifully — much like art. Note how the designer plucked a color from the granite for the cabinet paint.
Ban the Bar SoapFinally, if you want to significantly reduce the amount of soap scum on glass without eliminating showers or using the facilities at the gym, cleaning experts and Houzzers alike offer this advice: Ban the bar soap.Almost all bar soaps contain talc, which produces the buildup. Consider switching to a non-talc-containing soap (such as Dove or natural soap), or opt for liquid soap instead.Of course, there’s no escaping water spots, so some regular maintenance will still be required. It just won’t be as much.More: Can-Do Cleaning Strategies for Busy PeopleGet Grout Magically Clean — Stains and All
