4. Jack and Jill Bathroom

Sibling rivalry can escalate quickly, especially over bathroom time. A Jack and Jill bathroom is a practical solution that prevents kids from fighting over the sink. They share a tub/shower space typically closed off from the sink portion of the bathroom. With two separate entries, it promotes independence and helps maintain peace at home. It’s a smart layout that benefits both parents and kids.
