My first rule for bathrooms is to make sure the toilet is not the first thing you see when you open the door. Move the toilet to where you currently have the shower, backing up against the wall with the door. It's also nice to have the toilet near a window! If you can, convert that door to a cavity sliding door to increase available room in the bathroom itself. A shower along the wall where you currently have the bath would have a number of benefits - it has a window, which is great for drying it out and preventing mould, it is long enough to have a towel rail at the end of it without towels getting wet and you wouldn't need to have a door on the shower (saving space again). I would suggest the shower rose go on the left end of the shower and the opening (in lieu of door) and towel rail at the right end. I would position a wall hung vanity unit on the left wall where you currently have the toilet. Good luck!

Amazingly beautiful!!! There is another Australian designer called Lighting Republic that does something very very similar, but with a brass lamp holder. http://www.lightingrepublic.com.au/en/collections-en/organic Or see here, its in our Sydney showroom.

Unfortunately no photo at the moment as the ensuite will be a new room as part of the renovation. The room is 3.6m x 3.4m, with 3.4m ceilings. The look we want is raw luxury - the tiles will be a mid grey (charcoal), tapware matt black, benchtop solid wood (blackbutt), cupboards matt black, bath, sinks and wall hung toilet - white ceramic. Lots of natural light from large velux skylight and highlite window, but looking for mood lighting that feels warm and luxurious. A touch of glamour without too much glitz....

Hi Paul, I hear your collective frustration! my comment about light bouncing into your eyes was in response to your question about bouncing light onto your faces from a light placed behind the vanity (from memory). Have you seen Dr Renos comment here - still the most logical response to me. https://www.houzz.com.au/discussions/5148857/where-to-place-power-points-and-lights#n=5 So I'm going to go for side lights next to the vanity cabinet. Trouble is, my vanity is off-centre to the cabinet mirror, so I still have to sort that one out. Time spent really considering this is well worth it. I think LED downlights may very well cast shadows, sorry to say :-) and the next consideration is what colour temperature - warm white or daylight? For relaxing ambience (75% bathroom function) it will def be 3000 warm white for me, however for the vanity functions it will be 4000K (daylight) so I will probably get the vanity lights switched separately to the main room light, maybe put that on a dimmer... I know there are some LED bulbs available that enable the colour temp to be changed within the same bulb...
