6 år sedanYes it looks crowded but I think if you purchase a toilet the same white as the porcelain, it would not be noticed as much. I would put something tall in the corner to help balance the look, good luck!quasiexpert

6 år sedanThe vanity is too large for that space, sadly. I know you probably wanted the extra counter space and storage, but if you would have gone with a smaller 24" cabinet it would look great!
I guess you could do something like wallpapering the wall to the right of the toilet. That would add some heaviness to that side of the room.

6 år sedanIf you get offset flange you still have to break the floor, so you might as well move the pipe over. All you have to do is replace a few tiles doing that, it's not a big deal if there are no joists in the way, so just before you break up your floor, take the toilet off and make sure the floor joist will not be an issue.
That being said, this should have been noticed ahead of time when laying out a vanity, there is a rule of thumb every toilet should have a min 30" in width with a flange located 15" on center.

Författare6 år sedan@gn builders, We're aware of the "rule of thumb" but our realtor said that doesn't honestly matter, in our area, as long as the potential buyer isn't needing the bathroom ADA accessible. We went with a smaller vanity and are very happy with itUser
6 år sedan15" center to any obstruction for a plumbing fixture is a national building code. Your realtor lied to you. It DOES matter. Big time. The vanity was a mistake. It is too large and needs to be replaced. With a better, more functional, choice that contains drawers.

6 år sedanBeclb, your realtor is wrong. IBC does not have anything to do with ADA compliance. If you go to sell your house, any inspector is going to catch the issue, especially if you have an FHA buyer. They're going to make you fix it to comply with code. I just replaced two vanities and even the cabinet installer measured to be sure they would meet code before they were installed.

6 år sedan@beclb, Typical Realtor suggestion. You needed a smaller vanity. Its not the fact of ADA or not, its code for toilet clearance.

6 år sedanWhere I live, there is a space requirement between the vanity and the commode. You could have used a narrower vanity cabinet and extended the counter with a narrow shelf over the toilet between the vanity and the adjacent wall. This appears to be a powder room, so drawer storage may not be necessary. I would place a trash receptacle on the floor in the empty space and hang a towel bar for hand towels above it on the side wall.
