Bathroom Furniture Size Guide - Left and Right Handed Combination Units

Bathroom furniture comes in many sizes - so it's suitable for anything from a cloakroom to a grand bathroom.
And many designs are available in left or right handed styles, which gives you greater flexibility when planning your bathroom layout.
The smaller bathroom or a cloakroom is ideally suited to a petite basin and WC combination unit, which can be less than a metre from side to side.
Many of these pieces of all-in-one bathroom furniture are available in a choice of left or right handed design - so it's completely up to you whether you have your basin on the left and your toilet on the right or vice versa.
Choose your layout depending entirely on the look you prefer, the layout of your room, and/or your existing plumbing arrangements.
Larger bathrooms can accommodate a larger combination unit: a wider basin and long, wide surfaces may be complemented by additional storage space in the form of cupboards or drawers.
You're still maximising your use of space, but you've got more space to maximise, and you still have the choice of left handed or right handed bathroom furniture from many manufacturers as well.
When you're choosing bathroom furniture, it goes without saying that you should think about how it will look in your bathroom.
But you should also consider the layout of your existing plumbing, and try to buy items which require minimal, or no, rearrangement of this pipework - your refit costs can be kept much lower and you can avoid a lot of mess and aggravation this way.
Think about the height of your new bathroom furniture when planning a re-fit: heights of cupboards, right and left handed combination units, washstands and toilets all vary from one manufacturer to another, so make sure you look at a range of products before you make your final decision.
If you're tall, try to choose tall furniture; if you're of shorter stature, shorter bathroom furniture will be best.
Do your best when picking products for any room in your home top pick those that eliminate the need to bend and stretch as much as possible: store your irregular use items in your taller or lower cupboards and keep the things you use every day in easy reach.
And your bathroom furniture should be arranged to suit the way you live: arrange your furniture, if you can, to suit the order in which you generally move around the room.
You may have heard of the 'kitchen triangle' - a layout of kitchen sink, refrigerator and oven which allows natural, easy movement between the three essentials of any kitchen environment.
Try to make a similar pattern with your bathroom furniture and sanitaryware, as it can help to make future use of the room a more pleasurable experience.
