@brevard_tile: The only time you can actually fix a bad bathroom layout is during a new build or a full, down-to-the-studs remodel. 🔨 Once the tile is laid and drywall is up, you’re locked in. Moving a toilet or rerouting plumbing lines later is an expensive nightmare. If you’re planning a major project right now, make sure you avoid these 3 layout traps while the walls are still open: 1️⃣ **The Toilet Sightline:** Never place the toilet in plain view of the hallway. Take advantage of the full remodel to tuck it on a side wall or behind the door. 2️⃣ **The Space Eater:** Use the open framing stage to ditch a standard swinging door and install a pocket door instead. It instantly frees up floor space. 3️⃣ **The Backwards Flow:** Don’t just put the vanity where it's "easiest" for the pipes. Map it out based on how you’ll actually use the mirror and outlets every morning. Fix it on paper now, or live with the regret later! 💡 👉 **Building or doing a full gut-remodel soon?** Save this post for your framing walk-through.
