What is a Hollywood Bathroom?

Luxurious Hollywood Regency Bathroom With Vanity and Large Mirror.

Living up to its name, a Hollywood bathroom provides luxury and privacy in large homes. These bathrooms generally connect two bedrooms, and the vanity area is separated from the toilet and shower.

But unlike what you might think, Hollywood bathrooms aren’t just for the stars. These bathrooms can add a touch of elegance to medium-sized homes for families. Hollywood bathrooms are also a smart way to remodel your space to maximize space and allow children to gain independence.

Elements of a Hollywood Bathroom

Also known as Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, Hollywood bathrooms are a common type of bathroom in large homes. They’re shared baths connecting two bedrooms, perfect for busy mornings and shared routines. You have two doors, one from each room, that open into a central space with a sink and a mirror. 

This layout is similar to en suite bathrooms but with the added benefit of shared access between rooms. You don’t have to deal with bathroom hogs or scheduling conflicts. One person can brush their teeth while someone else takes a shower, which also helps kids learn to manage their own routines. 

Other benefits of Hollywood bathrooms include maximizing space and cutting costs when you’re buying or remodeling. Hollywood bathrooms eliminate the need for a second bathroom, contributing to a lower water bill.

Now, what can you expect to find inside one? Think luxury at its finest. They’re typically full or three-quarter bathrooms, so there’s plenty of room for all the features you want: double vanities, freestanding tubs with clawfoot designs, and marble countertops. Many designs also include spacious walk-in showers, high-end faucets and showerheads, and heated floors.

Differences Between Hollywood Bathrooms and Other Types

Hollywood bathrooms are designed for families who need to use the space together, so they include all the essential features. While they can vary in size, they can’t be half or quarter bathrooms because they’ll always come with the full range of amenities to meet everyone’s needs. 

If you install a Hollywood bathroom in your home and it becomes the most used and spacious, you can think of it as a primary bath, too. 

More About Bathrooms

Linked to bedrooms, Hollywood bathrooms provide the ultimate convenience for guests and families. The private vanity area, separate from the toilet and shower, allows families to get ready at the same time while keeping things somewhat private.
