Hi Katie. I've just finished a reno in a bathroom approximately this size. it looks like the toilet is currently on an exterior wall. if this is the case it can be costly - or not possible to relocate the plumbing. Yes, I know cisterns can be installed in the wall. My plumbers are wary of these ....try fixing a fault without cutting a hole - or holes - in the wall! If you are restricted to the outside wall, I would install a sliding door (gives you more space in the actual room). Leaving the bath and shower where they are saves $$$. if you move the toilet further to the left and install a wall-hung vanity under the window, you could also add a 'half-wall' to the toilet area for privacy. (Wall-hung vanities open the room up. This plan would give you great space on the left hand wall for storage and/or laundry hampers, You could of course switch the bath to the opposite wall, and move the toilet to the current bath area. Moving the door to the right AND installing a slider, would allow this. (BTW I just installed a 1700 bath - 1500's are available too.) Hope this is not too unclear! Enjoy the process!.

Bath v shower. If you go for the shower and no bath, make the space big enough to retrofit a bath in later. Bath is normally less than 900 which is preferred shower width however, If u plan on being there 10 years then can’t loose either way. Talk to your plumber about the most cost effective layout options, for example they may suggest rehanging door to swing other way or moving door to open up other layouts, I agree about corner cabinets, my sister just replaced hers with straight and there is more space not less and much more modern look.

It is a family bathroom with quite a lot going on. I don't think you need a feature subway tile. You already have a marble benchtop, shaker style cabinetwork, and timber accents so you don't need a feature tile as well in a small room. If I understand you correctly you plan to use two types of white tiles on the wall which is a bad move, unless they are made by the same manufacturer and the colour is identical. If the white tiles are even slightly different in colour it will look off. I would keep it simple, not use a subway tile as they are being overused and will look dated in ten years, and stick with just the larger wall tile. Keep it simple, Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

!) Set out your bathroom including shower, the sill of your window relative to shower, if shower under window.....However, exterior of widow needs to be considered. Brick suggests a new lintel above the window Have new window in before doing any more work Plumbing and electrical rough ins before RENDERING 3) Rendering by a good renderer will ensure the quickest method to " plumb " walls ..one day about $ 1,000....Organise your tiler BEFORE Rendering, some tilers render, or my " brother-in-law renders " ( A great option ) A tiler can only tile as good as the walls permit ! 4) Rendering....Waterproofing...Tiling ...Fit Out....Shower screen ( never be talked into buying a shower screen from a fixture business...ONLY have shower screen measured AFTER tiling is completed
