I’ve been sketching out ideas for a tiny basement bathroom we want to add, but every layout I try feels either cramped or strangely unbalanced. The ceiling is a bit low, and one corner has a support post that limits where the shower can go. I’m curious how others arranged things in a small space without it feeling like a tight box. Did you prioritize the shower placement, or the sink, or something else entirely bathroom remodel in Issaquah ?
We ran into similar layout challenges in our basement too, and what surprised us was how much difference it made to mock everything up with painter’s tape on the floor. Seeing the shapes full-size helped us make choices that didn’t seem obvious on a drawing. Even tiny adjustments, like shifting the toilet a few inches, changed the whole flow of the room.
When we remodeled our own basement bathroom last year, we kept running into the same issue: the room looked fine on paper but felt different once we started placing fixtures. What helped the most was treating the shower as the anchor point and building everything outward from that. We also checked a few reference ideas on luxxremodel , which had some layouts that made clever use of corners and shorter walls. One thing we learned the hard way was to avoid squeezing the vanity too close to the door—ours kept bumping until we rotated it and switched to a narrower style. If you have a support post, consider placing the shower or a storage niche beside it so the “visual interruption” feels intentional instead of random. It took us a few attempts, but once we accepted that the space would never be perfectly symmetrical, everything clicked and felt more natural.
