Comments (7)Hi I have attached photos of a project we are working on where the bathroom was very small. Behind the shower was a linen closet which we gutted and made room for a corner shower instead. We moved the vanity to the same side as the toilet and shower leaving a good size space when you walk in the door and to be able to have room to get dressed etc. we only needed to do a little plumbing work and some electrical otherwise we utilised what the owner had. Including spraying a beige spa bath they had in storage white to save money for them, The room looks big and bright compared to the previous layout. We relocated the linen closet to the opposite wall and utilised an empty space in the lounge room to build a new closet. Which was double the size. All in all we have this family some much needed space. Not sure if you can scroll through to my profile there are step by step photos to show what we did. Also we found some great discounts on tiles and other bathroom items....See MoreI need help with my ensuite & bathroom design, it's a tricky one!
Comments (10)the biggest challenge is the location of the windows and enlarging the ens without having to rearrange the plumbing too much and, unless you want a bath in the ens and separate toilets my suggestion moves walls to allow for more space while keeping a smaller study and good sized family bathroom, bigger ensuite and more biw .... the area around the flue could be an ideal storage space for an upstairs vacuum cleaner, luggage etc but you should consult a heating specialist to confirm safe ways to enclose the flue and accurate dimensions will depend on how you measure the size of the windows (ie the edge of the window frame or the outside edge of the architraves?) and thickness of old and new walls but something like this could be worth considering...See MoreBathroom design help needed
Comments (5)Thank you Kate for that suggestion. And thank you, Jan Dobson for that very comprehensive and extremely helpful response. I gave your advice a lot of thought - especially the remark about stepping over a wide rim. That makes so much sense, and might partly explain why freestanding tubs have gained popularity. I thought a freestanding tub would not work due to the tight space (I didn't want to create cleaning problems!) but I gave it some further thought after reading your comment. I'm wondering if a rectangular back to wall freestanding tub with hob around three sides might work, eliminating tiling up the front and the rim at the front of the bath completely, but still avoiding the cleaning hassles of a tub with small spaces around it? I love the idea of a rim behind the tub, or a shelf above the tub. And putting the taps at the end does make sense. Maybe something like this? While there are advantages to extending the vanity over the tub, after a lot of thought I decided I'd prefer a smaller vanity and a space between vanity and tub where I can put a small stool and some towel and robe hooks on the wall. It's a guest bathroom, and there's a 900mm vanity in the cloak room next door so I am thinking a large vanity isn't a necessity, but a space between would make cleaning the top end of the bath easier....See MoreLouieT
