Hi again QBENGA Oh yes. Very alike. We approach total strangers and drive slowly through new suburbs. I know what you mean about suspicious. We never did those things before we started designing our own home. I think your dingy bathroom is very easy to fix. I hope so! LED lights - so bright and cheap to run. Our designer has also told us about a kind of skylight. Probably the same thing oklouise is talking about. They don't actually bring light all the way from the roof through to the bathroom. Instead, there is a solar panel on the roof, connected to a lighting panel on the ceiling of the bathroom. When the sun hits the solar panel, it turns on a light in the bathroom. When the sun goes down, the light turns off. Instead of having a large tube that goes through the ceiling into the roof space (which interrupts your ceiling insulation), you only have to have a small cord pass through your roof space. I believe you can buy them from Bunnings.

You’re shower space seems narrow ie less than 900mm wide?? There are great new instantaneous hot water systems that can fit on outside wall too so free up internal space Have you gone to a bathroom place ? Some have specialist bathroom designers. So knocking down storage cupboard wall sounds good and have awning window above laundry bench and I’d prob integrate laundry into bathroom or perhaps could have bifold doors in front if want to shut off mess from any visitors and vanity can stick out more ie be deeper so have more storage else keep narrow and narrow full length wall cupboards on back wall. Play with boxes to work out how far things can stick out without interfering with the flow of movement you like

Confused by the shape of this main bathroom - where to fit bath, toilet, shower and vanity. Suggestion appreciated before I turn to drink....

I agree with middle option. currently drawing up plans too. Here is my layout. Very practical as my parents home has the same layout. my only concern is natural lighting to the WC. I am thinking of placing a high frosted window above the toilet to allow light in from the shower compartment.
