Bathroom planning reference: compare fixture arrangements before selecting finishes.

Walkthrough checklist

  1. Make a schedule of fixed and portable equipment and note where each will actually be used.
  2. Overlay service routes and outlets on the furniture drawings before approving joinery.
  3. Keep shutoffs and frequently serviced connections reachable and have the relevant specialist verify the provision.
Worked example

A planned mirror cabinet may overlap the light switch and an existing service point.

Coordinate cabinet, switch, lighting and service drawings together, and keep connections reachable for maintenance.

How to test it

Check locations against the final furniture and appliance drawings before walls or cabinets are closed.

Apply it to this space
Layout
Separate shower splash from vanity and place towel storage within easy reach of the shower exit.
Detail
Use slip-conscious floor finishes, moisture-tolerant joinery, and even mirror lighting.
Trade-off
A larger shower improves comfort but reduces vanity or storage space.
  • Test splash outside the shower
  • Check toiletries and towels are reachable
