three-quarter bath

Practical and hardworking, this layout with a shower but no bathtub is popular for hall bathrooms or where space is limited. It’s a budget-friendly plan that’s smart and streamlined.

When you want to squeeze a lot of function into a small space, a three-quarter bath is a great option. It generally includes only one sink, a toilet, and a shower—but no bathtub. Because it offers a bathing space (unlike a half bath), it’s an ideal second bath for households with multiple people getting ready for school or work in the morning, but it does not necessarily require as much space as a full bath—particularly if the shower stall is small.

If you’re designing a three-quarter bath, keep in mind that you can save money on labor and supplies by lining up all the plumbing fixtures on one wall. Also consider using light colors and glass surfaces to make a compact bath feel larger and more inviting. With careful planning, a three-quarter bath can be both smart and stylish.

 

A compact vanity offers efficient storage in a small footprint, and it’s more practical than a pedestal sink in a busy family bath. When space is limited, consider installing a built-in medicine cabinet that’s flush with the wall.
