Easy decision, right? Think about it. Statistics suggest we are spending longer and longer in the bathroom - and often it is the last thing to be upgraded! But the kitchen is often the entertaining area for many of us.

Comments (3)Absolutely. I don't see the point of renovating just for the sake of it. It goes with the era of the house. I might not say that about a 50s kitchen though....See MoreDividing a kitchen to make a new bathroom in a unit
Comments (22)depends on how often you need the extra bathroom and how much you prepared to spend? (i'd expect a modest redecoration of the old bathroom to cost about $15,000 without changing the location of any fixtures, a new kitchen about $15,000 and the second bathroom needing new complex plumbing, new walls and unexpected extras to cost at least two or three times as much if not more (assuming the BC agrees) and, where will you do your washing?.. contrary to other ideas i would prefer to keep a laundry without the second bathroom but removing part of the wall between kitchen and living area would allow for two options for a new laundry "cupboard" and a more spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area at a fraction of the cost of the second bathroom...(say $40,000 for new kitchen, Euro laundry, floor coverings etc) my concern with the extra bathroom is finding a connection for the new toilet into the sewer which would probably involve digging a trench in the concrete floor to bury the pipe to connect the new toilet to the sewerage under the existing toilet ..my new kitchen and Euro laundry without relocating plumbing but, if you are prepared to completely rebuild the old bathroom and kitchen and rearrange walls this idea adds an extra bathroom in an easier location...See MoreHow would you design this space for a bathroom?
Comments (10)Thanks all for taking the time to offer your suggestions which are great. @siriuskey how tall would you envisage the nib walls to be? The ceiling is 2700 high. In both your suggestions I would need to alter or close in the window as it is a large window that sits above the bath. Do you think this would be a costly exercise? The house is brick veneer. Also love the idea of a sky light! @Kate @siriuskey I didn't realise you could have a door to angle like you have drawn. This seems like a great idea :-) @oklouise Thanks for your suggestion and def worth investigating. The house is steel framed so not sure if possible to recess the sink in the toilet room, but will check it out. This is the current layout for your info. The door only just clears the shower screen....See More
