Basement Bathrooms
The Goldilocks Bathroom
A basement bathroom is essential to most finishes. Most of our clients want to find a way to get a nice bathroom, but not too nice. They want the best bathroom they can get at a reasonable price. That is our standard bathroom.
Basement Bathroom Finishes
Most basement bathrooms are set up in a typical gally style. From back to front (door), the layout is tub/shower, toilet, and vanity. Each requires a specific amount of space. A typical basement bathroom is 8 feet long and 5 feet wide. This gives the space needed for each component of the bathroom.
Common upgrades for bathrooms include:
- Tiled walls above a standard tub
- A fully tiled shower with a glass door
- Cultured Marble or another man-made surface for a shower
- A Fancy toilet
- A larger-than-standard vanity
- Uncommon patterns or small tiles for the bathroom floor
- Upgraded mirrors.
- Upgraded hardware.
- A strong exhaust fan.
Our standard bathroom, detailed to the right, is a great option. We put it into most of the basements we complete.
