Bathroom wainscoting and window height

last year

Hi. Thanks for any input on this. I'm renovating the bath in a seventy-year-old house. I'm trying to stick with timeless details so it's once and done. I want to use bead board wainscot. I have beadboard wainscot d in the kitchen which i like. Two questions I'd love your thoughts on if you dont mind:

1. Old tile cladding set at 42 inches high. Window is also at about 42 inches. I need to stick with a beadboard kit and these are 32" plus some inches for moldings, but in any case, there will be a gap beneath the window. What do you think about that?

2. I realize beadboard is a trend of late. Trends are soon disdained because we humans are funny.

At any rate, I'm inclined towards it. I'm not used to a plain wall in there as i just took tile down. I thiink a divided wall - as with wainscot gives those color-against-white options, etc. and stripes just look subtly classy.

3. I want to avoid overly cottage-core, though this is actually a bit of an urban cottage.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi! I don't think you should have that gap - can keep the wainscotting also at 42" . We really enjoy beadboards in our projects, I think its a timeless design so please do go for it and share images :D

Thank you so much for your response - and the encouragement. What I can do is buy a beadboard panel tall enough for an entire wall and have HD cut this down. I may find this to be a good deal less expensive anyway, though kits are cheap. Quality, I'm not so sure about. I'll just get the best I can. When I look at the sites that truly specialize in good-quality beadboard, thiers are also thin cladding and 32 inches high, so customizing is the way I'll need to go. The kits offer moldings that are exact fits, and this is attractive to me because I'll be asking for help with this from contractor who I think anticipates doing dry wall. It's a gift job, so want to make it very easy. I think the panels and moldings cut to size though will not be a problem. I'll get all supplies and corner mold, etc.

I wonder now about back splash above marble vanity sink. How do y"all do it in your business if wainscot extends a little above the sink.

Hello, and more storage is always great. I think if you could consider the height of your doors & trim and even the window height and trim the height of linen cabinet would relate nicely to that dimension. So I would measure a couple of those items and see which dimension is better in relationship to those elements in the room.

Pankaj, I just realized that initially you told us that the bathroom area was 12'-0" x 9'-0" and later you mentioned that it was 11'-8" x 8'-0". In the last floor plan, I forgot to change the bathroom with the new dimensions. Below is the floor plan with the correct dimensions for the bathroom. The bedroom is ok, I drew it 19'-2" x 12'-6". The new layout does not change the way things are placed. Everything still fit. The only difference is that the vanity is now 4'-4" long instead of 4'-8". and the toilet is closer to the shower by 1'-0". Can you give me the lengths of the walls K and L. They are the walls between the vanity and the shower area. I will send you the new layout once you give me the length of these 2 walls.

Ok thanks. After SE extention 1. NE was cut 2. SW was cut 3. water tank above toilet in center of east. 1. NE cut - Just make a shed/pargola of same height as bathroom... put 4 poles beside staircase and put up a tin shed. 2. SW cut... build a store room with 4 poles, tin shed, wall of plywood or/else any material you can afford. Door from east work area. Or door preferably from inside the bedroom. This is the bedroom in SW corner which head of the family or bread earner should occupy. 3. Water tank and toilet is not causing much problem due to height. However; I am not sure if thats exact center of your whole plot. Doesnt seem so. If anyone living there facing litigations, financial troubles or unnecessary authority problems... Just pay 500rs to a known good vastu consultant and amend accordingly. Its not practical to advise seeing pictures only, there are many things to consider. Thanks

Hi Farooq, you should go for wall paneling on that wall with a concealed door. The wardrobe can be a part of the unit in front.
