I have made the decision to add a bathroom in what was a large laundry room. I have redesigned the space to maximize the storage while still adding a shower, toilet, etc. The original space 14x14 is essentially divided into two new rooms.

Room 1 - Storage
- 2 separate sets of lights, three outlets. One of which will be used for the 4 foot long deep chest freezer.

Room 2 - Bathroom, laundry & storage
- Dryer already has a dedicated breaker.
- 2 outlets, 1 fluoro light (laundry side), 2 can lights in the toilet sink area, 2 or 3 can lights at the other end of the room in the storage space. The space is "L" shaped.
- 1 30" baseboard electric heater

My question is, "Can I put all of this onto a new 20AMP breaker" or do I need to have a dedicated 20AMP just for the bathroom? If so can that bathroom breaker include the light over the dryer and the lights in the storage space as it is all part of the same room. I will also add a GFI accordingly.

Thanks for your help!

The required 20 Amp 120 Volt receptacle in a bathroom may have the bathroom light(s) and the exhaust fan.

The intention is to insure a hairdryer has ample capacity to operate.

The more you add to the circuit, the more chance there will lbe a problem.
