Bathroom Design Help
We are in the process of designing our main bathroom- and would love some opinions on the designs we have come up with so far-- or some advice on what else we could do?.
This is the space we are working with. The 'C' wall is a door opening- which comes off a hallway and the wall directly opposite that has a timber window (frosted glass).
Design 1: The wall highlighted in yellow below is a glass shower screen. Only issue with this is that people will feel like they're walking into a shower screen as they enter the room (might not be a problem?) also the shower will have a timber window in it.
The bath is a 1500mm freestanding. Vanity only 900mm.
Design 2: This design has the walk in shower in the alcove section. Only issue with this is that the toilet is more visible to those entering and also the vanity only has a small section for a mirror and then the other half if taken up with the window.
Design 3: Again vanity is half taken up by window-- Also not sure whether it's a good idea to have a walk in shower so close to the edge of the vanity? The shower screen is 1000mm.
Any other suggestions or thoughts!? Thanks everyone!

6 years agoThanks for having a look scottevie. I had thought of doing that... just wasn't sure whether it's a good thing to have a toilet behind you when you're standing at the vanity? So many things to consider!

Comments (58)For storage, I used a mirrored lift up cupboard door above the sink area in my very small ensuite with some success. We put power points inside the cupboard too - it was a very good place to have them as the door lifts up & is out of the way. I also used some of the wall space to allow slightly deeper shelves, without the cupboard jutting so far into the room. The cistern was recessed into the wall cavity, (in our case below the window) & it worked well to save a little space in the room. Photos are not very good, but I hope you can get the idea.. It worked very well. The ensuite was 1mx2m. We use vertical towel rails. They're really good & very compact, but do make sure the electrician installs them up the right way. They work on the heat rising principal & do not work well upside down as ours were installed!Hope this is helpful. Good luck....See MoreBathroom design help
Comments (8)Not in response to your question, but suggest a cavity sliding door between WIR and ensuite to prevent issues with moisture getting into clothes (I have a real estate friend that really dislikes a layout with completely open access between WIR and ensuite as she says that over the years she has worked in the industry, she has seen a lot of issues with mould). So the cavity would be in the wall between the WIR and shower, sliding towards the nib wall to left of vanity. But that may be too many cavity sliders in a small location to feel comfortable?...See MoreBathroom Design help
Comments (3)Hi jay and Melinda. R u still working on layout? Have you thought about having an internal separation in the space. Try this, sorry I dont seem to have success adding images. Off bedroom hall put an opening, could be sliding door, roughly 1200 from your main entry hall, centre of opening at 1600 offset. As you enter this doorway, on left is sliding door to toilet and on right a vanity. The toilet is rotated 90degrees from where you have it. Vanity say 1600 long and toilet room same. Toilet internal width 800. The vanity is set in from the eastern wall 500 to allow a narrow but 1600 long linen cupboard on entry hall outside bathroom. Hope you are following me. Back in the bathroom area beyond the toilet and vanity is a wall with sliding door to washroom. In there I think you would fit a bath on west wall, shower 900w x 1200d on east wall in south corner and another smaller vanity around 900 on east wall. This is creates a powder room on outside and bathroom beyond. Sinks in both areas for flexibility. The 1600 vanity, do one sink and put a makeup area with stool under bench on far end. Hope this gives you food for thought. All the best...See MoreBathroom design help needed please
Comments (13)This is the easiest way to do this! You could maybe fit a separate loo room with double vanities and shower/bath in a room together but this would look far more spacious. The door maybe able to stay right where it is or you might like to centre is with the window. The minute you have ferns, greenery and a feature out in the garden THAT becomes the focal point. Hope this helps and you like it. Cheers Margot...See More

what about shower where the toilet is, bath under window, toilet where hand basin is and a long vanity on the RH wall back towards the window wall, should fit OK cheersWhat about splitting the door down the center, you just need to add a strip of timber on each cut end for the 2 pieces to close together, we have done this with some of our old federation doors to save space, looks good

6 years agoJaynecam what about this for a layout, Vanity is 900 wide the wall between it and the toilet could be glass or solid if glass you could have a mirror mounted on it or on the wall next to the vanity there's a chance for a second vanity or linen cupboard next to the shower cheers

6 years agoOK here goes again sorry about my drawing my printer wouldn't print the 3d for me to see it clearly. This a Japanese inspired bathroom where the bath and shower are side by side with a shower screen along one side which saves space as it uses the floor space for the shower, love it You would have to get a narrow vanity with possible recessed shaving cabinets above. Photo of a lovely bathroom showing how this works.
