Help with bathroom layout and exterior door
Comments (10)Thanks Louise. If I take out the external door in the bathroom, I would still like to have an external door somewhere on that side towards the back of the house, so that probably means reducing the size of the bathroom so that I can put a door off the living area where it would fit best like the sketch below. In that case I am worried that the bathroom space is quite small to be a reasonably spacious family bathroom, even if I "pinch" a bit of space from the study next door by designing that room around it. (I think this would still be cheaper than moving the family bathroom to the current study, which is a larger room but would need to be retro-fitted with plumbing etc... - but that is one alternative). Appreciate any other thoughts....See MoreWhich bathroom layout should I go with?
Comments (21)yes but I think it depends what market you are likely to be seeking in. if it's not family home market but more up market retirees then a glam spacious bathroom will win more plaudits from buyers than a cramped make-do space. I just strongly feel you should design your bathroom so it is a pleasure to use every day not just the one day a year you may want a bath (plus much as I like the style of bathroom Siriuskey has posted they really don't beg out for bathing in). But a vanity space where you can even have your own toothpaste if you like stripey and he likes plain and all stored neatly away so they never have to appear on display together and with a shower you can lift your arms up in is priceless if you ask me....See MoreDouble entry bathroom dilemma!
Comments (8)if you think about the time taken to do the water damage with the existing layout you could simply repair, and retain the existing layout and have many more years of use....think about how much better the patching and waterproofing products are now (builders' bog and modern waterproofing can do wonders for holes in timber window sills etc) the bathroom is already quite special with dual access and the garden outlook.. dramatic changes would remove the best of what you already have and new owners may prefer other options... i suggest you repair and replace everything to restore the fresh look of the original bathroom and maybe add a curved rod with generous white shower curtains, plantation shutters and new coat of paint to revive the bathroom without making any dramatic changes or spending too much...See MoreBathroom layout options
Comments (5)glad to learn you have a separate toilet but thinking about where you would stand on the wet floor getting out of the shower i would rotate the toilet behind the door and stand between the shower and the toilet so standing space in front of the vanity and toilet is dry and i've shown some towel rails and toilet roll locations and if the vanity is away from the wall in the corner the few cms shown at "xx" makes an ideal space to hang a hairdryer...See More- 10 years ago
