    Think of medicine cabinet recesses or storage nooks in or out of shower area. Think of clearances between toilet seats and toiletpaper dispenser locations; where and how many towel bars; singles or foubles; don't want wet towels laying on toilet tank cover; hand towe ring or hook; will everything clear the GFCI; are there enough outlets for electric razors, blow dyers, curling irons, electric toothbrushes, etc without cords draping across sinks; do you care to see light globes reflected in the mirror or high enough only light shoes? do you want corner selving in shower or just niche? One or one for him one for her? will you gave enough counter space? If extending over toilet lid, will you have v know earn e to replace it in the future? Great planning goes a long long way to making it the fabulous bath you envision. Good luck.
