sounds like a good use of space, you could install a pull out hotel clothes line, you know the one with the round fitting on one wall with a single pull out line which clips into a fitting on the other side. Attaching some photos the first is a bathroom that I would love to use to replace our existing ensuite (without replacing the window) which is as you enter the WC is behind the door to the left, right side is a nearly sunken bath with shower plus a large sliding window beside the bath, we think the architect hadn't allowed enough showering space so by adding the window gave extra width. Then we have a full width vanity and mirror on the third wall. The last should have a swimming pool style hand rail. Did you build your house, would love to see some more photos of the bathroom etc. cheers

Are you kidding us all? That looks fantastic!!! That bath and spout are spectacular and both look absolutely amazing. The spout looks excellent where it is, you do not want to hide it, show it off and no it does not obstruct the look of that divine bath. Well done italiangal

Hi kristymacd, after changing my mind many times we went for a built in 1700 bath! Mostly as builder and tiler thought it would be easier to slope the floor properly and I liked the idea of the slightly larger built in compared to the 1590 back to wall. I’m sure a back to wall would’ve been possible and been fine, it all just got a bit hard and I knew both would look good. And I don’t think a back to wall would be any harder to clean than a built in - with a built in you have the hob and tiled face of the bath and back to wall there is the floor either side of the bath - same same! Here’s a pic of ours, not totally finished yet but really happy with it.

Hi Simona, My bathroom has the same L shape and window layout as yours (although my space is smaller and has 2 doors - the bathroom has direct access to an adjacent bedroom as well as to the main passage of the house). After much trial and error when planning the bathroom remodel about 4 years ago, I decided for a shower over bath (I wanted the largest bath possible) and ran the bath underneath the window. I am attaching a very rough (not to scale) plan of my bathroom. I am really happy with the layout of the bathroom - it is certainly a million times better than the old layout which had a smaller bath running along the shortest back wall and the toilet closer to the door. I think that you might be able to have a seperate shower facing the door (where I have a tall open storage unit) if you wanted. I also found that product choice was equally as important as layout. I opted for a white colour scheme with lots of chrome, glass and mirrors to bounce the light around the bathroom and to make it feel bigger and to playdown the odd L shape of the room. I also tried to use the walls as much as possible to maximise circulation space. I also used the same largish white rectangular tiles (laid lengthwise in brick pattern) on both the floor and walls - this really helps to visually “stretch” and unify the space and make the bathroom feel bigger than it is. As the main bathroom door opens to the centre of my house, I also wanted the bathroom to look attractive (and not “bulky”) from that doorway. Finally, I also hung an outside mirror on the fence facing the bathroom window and put in a wall garden on an adjacent outside wall. I hope that this helps a little with your thinking. Good luck!
