So many opposing, I actually love it! Just re designed our ensuite and as you walk into the bedroom you can see our beautiful bath under a leafy window! And shower is in full view- we don't have issues with nudity. The toilet is more hidden behind a book though, There is lots of airflow and no dampness. I do have an extraction ceiling fan, Obviously you can still get privacy, and we have another bathroom to use for the smelly stuff (lol) or if one is waking earlier than the other to get ready for work :)

depending on the size of the room and accurate location of existing doors and windows everything is out of proportion and all the concepts are hard to understand because we don't know the correct sizes ... the baths only look about 1200mm long, or the showers are oversized compared to the other fittings and look too small for a standard towel and what is the size of the storage and what can be stored in it....you need to collect a examples of proper sized fixtures eg a bath could be from about 1500 to 1800 long and 750 wide plus enough space to clean around a freestanding bath, most toilets need about 800 x 800 space to allow for elbow and knee room but there's lots of different sized toilets for different situations, showers need to be about 900 deep and say 900 to 1800 long but depends on available space and do you want a walk in shower with or without a glass screen or a shower cubicle or wet room or Japanese style ...dimensions are easily found on any manufaturers websites but allways start with accurate dimensions of the existing space and try again

Again, without dimensions, land size, location and construction data, it's hard to make helpful comments, Harman, but do you really need a dining room and family room as well as living room and rumpus? I think it might be worth considering oklouise's suggestion to convert the dining room to a laundry and pantry. Perhaps in doing so, you could rearrange the kitchen so that it has direct access to the patio (I think U-shape kitchens are somewhat dated and out of favour. I demolished mine despite it being quite new and in perfect condition, because I wanted free traffic flow from the kitchen to the outdoor living area. I hated being trapped behind the bar of the U while others were partying outside, and having to walk in circles to get from the sink or cooker to the party area.) The U shape, in your case, also means you walk in circles from the kitchen to dining room or family room. I'm not the design expert here. Oklouise, Kate and Siriuskey are among those holding that title! They made brilliant suggestions for rearranging my kitchen and I have ended up with a fabulous open-plan kitchen with servery to BBQ area on one side and direct access to the veranda on the other, plus a fantastic scullery and pantry (what used to be wasted space in a store room and hall) and a much larger and more workable laundry that is no longer a traffic thoroughfare. I really think you'd find it worthwhile to post a floor plan with dimensions; location, block size and orientation information, and some data about the construction (especially whether slab floor or timber with access under). You might be pleasantly surprised at the alternate layout suggestions some here would be able to offer. I'm sure you are aware that the kitchen is the focal point for home buyers. Nothing boosts a home's resale value more than a great kitchen - and these days most families seem to want a walk-in pantry, or at least a large dedicated pantry cupboard. So while converting the bathroom and laundry will boost value substantially, I would definitely consider what you might be able to do with the kitchen (subject to budget constraints of course) and think carefully about ensuring there is a functional laundry, conveniently located. Postscript: Check with council about development requirements. We discovered that a roof extension of less than 10 sq m is allowed in our area without approval - just signed off by a certifier. A laundry extension on the left side of the rumpus room might be easier than you think.

Both our bathrooms have the same setup you have shown. Our electrician said the Bunnings heat/light/fan combos are pretty useless and he sourced a more powerful version for us. We kept the round fans as we weren't doing full renos and didn't want to spend more on plastering. Yes, the look is messy but having both is an effective way to manage the steam. Our electrician said to turn the heat and fan on at the start of the shower and keep it running for a few minutes after. We live in a similar climate to you and this works well - although not in the 40 degree summer haha!!
