CONSIDER HOW 
YOU’LL USE THE 
SPACE
Whether renovating or starting from 
scratch, you need to know how to use 
the space. Bathrooms are all about 
practicality, but they also should be 
unique to you and your family, so if you 
love the look of a bathtub but know it 
will never get used, don’t include one.
DOUBLE SHOWER 
HEAD
A his and hers style bathroom wouldn’t 
be complete without a double shower 
head. Depending on the layout of your 
bathroom and plumbing situation, you 
can either place the shower heads next 
to each other or across from one 
another.
As we mentioned earlier, consider how 
you will use the space. If you have 
younger kids or dogs who somehow end 
up in the bathroom, consider adding in 
a shower hose.
KEEP IT NEUTRAL
Depending on each taste, designing a 
his and hers bathroom could go one of 
two ways. Either you agree on 
everything or have a heated 
‘discussion’. To avoid the latter, we 
recommend sticking to a neutral colour 
palette. This way, you can keep colour 
choices at a minimum and can add in 
pops of colours with towels and other 
styling items.
ONE MIRROR OR 
TWO?
Consider your storage options if you’re 
tossing up between one shared mirror 
or two. If you don’t have any below 
bench storage, use two mirrors to your 
advantage. Include shelving behind the 
mirrors to increase storage space.
SINGLE OR 
DOUBLE BASIN?
You can still have a his and hers 
bathroom with one basin -it just needs 
to be big enough for both of you to 
share. There are pros and cons to each: 
having two individual basins means 
personal space but less bench space, 
whereas one large basin means more 
bench space. Again this choice should 
be based on how you use your area.
WHAT ABOUT THE 
TOILET?
Having the toilet in the bathroom can 
be a complete divide for some. Do you 
include it in the bathroom, or should 
you have it completely separate? 
Where plumbing is located is often out 
of your control. If you are not a 
bathroom toilet fan, but it has to stay, 
add a half wall for a little extra privacy.
