I have always been a fan of having the toilet off the laundry, it has more privacy. I have been to some houses where the toilet is in the main hallway, not a fan of that. Had a girlfriend who turned a cupboard in her dining are into a toilet. Not a good place for a toilet. We actually thought a lot about toilet placement before we built, maybe we're just weird. Off the laundry is good too because when the kids are playing outside they can just come into the laundry from the outside and straight into the toilet. Our upstairs toilet is at the top of the stairs and to the left so visiitors don't have to wander through the top storey to find it. Re: The placement of the toilet.... modern design fault?? 35Jul 09, 2009 4:27 pm Hi, off the topic a little.. but I have found a toilet placement fault at my house: the loo is too far from the loo paper. The toilet needs to be just a little closer to the wall. The kids nearly fall off Re: The placement of the toilet.... modern design fault?? 36Jul 09, 2009 6:11 pm photogirl, I agree with you re toilets off laundries - was a popular idea for long time but seems to have fallen out of favour, not sure why, I think they are handy for comeing in from outside (ours is thru the laundry and then immediately next to it so thats ok) and the laundry sink handy for washing hands if there is not a vanity in the toilet.

The toilet needs to be just a little closer to the wall. The kids nearly fall off I've seen pictures on real estate websites that really make me Hubby and I once treated ourselves to a couple of nights in a really nice hotel and the first time I reached for what I needed I found . . . a phone! The toilet paper was over near the bath. I also hate ensuites where the towel hangs too close to the wc. Many years ago I visited a display home where the only towel rail was above the cistern! Re: The placement of the toilet.... modern design fault?? 38Jul 09, 2009 7:12 pm Yukky. I wouldn't want to use a towel that lived too close to the cistern. Dirty by association. Or a phone who would you want to talk to? And would they appreciate the call? Re: The placement of the toilet.... modern design fault?? 39Jul 09, 2009 7:27 pm When you finally decide where to put it, make sure, if you purchase a toiled that is filled in back to the wall, that the floor drain is placed so the water doesn't accumulate on one side of the toilet. When they tell you the shower screens don't leak, it's a lie. All the the design flaws become apparent when it is too late. Re: The placement of the toilet.... modern design fault?? 40Jul 09, 2009 9:59 pm We reconfigured our last house to have the toilet bath & laundry come off a common wet area, which you could get to from outside through laundry door, it worked well and saved putting in a pwd room. http://take2-customdesigndownslope.blogspot.com 07-10-09 omg they have cut the block 14-05-10 we finally have the keys Hi all, My first post, we are building a house and can’t decide the layout of the lounge room.
