Could a Jack and Jill Bathroom Benefit Your Family?

As your family grows, you’re likely to need more space in your home. While many families choose to move to a larger property to accommodate the needs of their growing brood, for others, moving may not be the preferred or viable option. It’s for this reason that a growing number of homeowners are opting to remain in their current property and look at ways to remodel or extend their living space.

While larger living or family rooms are among the most popular home additions in Sydney, there are other ways to give your home more functionality such as adding an extra bathroom to take the pressure off the morning rush. And, one way to create extra bathing space without impacting your property footprint is to install a Jack and Jill bathroom between two bedrooms.

What is a Jack and Jill Bathroom?

A Jack and Jill bathroom usually serves two bedrooms with a door from each room providing access to the facilities. It’s a popular house addition in Sydney as it contains everything a normal bathroom would have and can often be added to your property without having to build an extension, particularly if the bedrooms are large enough to be sectioned up in this way.

Why is a Jack and Jill a Great Option for a House Addition in Sydney?

There are many good reasons why a Jack and Jill bathroom is a great choice for growing families.

·         Saves Space and Money – Installing one bathroom to serve two bedrooms is a savvy option in terms of both money and floor space.

·         A Shared but Private Room – Even though the bathroom is shared there is separate access for each room via a lockable door.

·         A Great Option for Kids and Teenagers – sharing a bathroom teaches kids some valuable lessons. They will learn to share and compromise on the time they spend in the room. Plus, you can also make them responsible for keeping it clean.

Designing Your Jack and Jill

To ensure that your new bathroom works for both users you may want to consider the following design features:

·         Two sinks – to enable less-private grooming activities such as teeth brushing, face washing and hairdressing to be carried out in tandem

·         Locks – adding locks on both sides of both doors ensures that the occupants can have their privacy. However, they will need to remember to unlock the door to the other bedroom when they leave

·         Double Accessories and Storage Facilities – to make the bathroom personal to both users, double up on things such as towel rails, mirrors, and storage areas.

Could It Be a Solution for Your Home?

Adding More Room: Creative Ways to Increase the Space in Your Beautiful Home

  For many of us, buying our home was one of the most important events in our life. We dreamed of the perfect place where we’d like to live, discussed the different home styles and attended open houses to see what choices were out there. Picking the right neighbourhood also took some work, as we debated the pros and cons of each area that intrigued us. If kids were in the picture, or perhaps coming in the future, we also found ourselves making sure the area had really good schools. Along the way, we probably also had to make a few carefully considered compromises. Often, our desires exceed our budget so it’s quite possible we had to purchase a smaller home than we would have liked, or maybe choose a less trendy neighbourhood. All the hard work was worth it, though, when we had that special moment when we received the keys to our new home.
