if you swopped the vanity and toilet and rotated the shower along the far wall there would be space for a bigger vanity and more comfortable standing room or the original plan could have a more private toilet with a hinged door screening the toilet from view..the size of the shower door will depending on your choice of shower and a glass shower stall with sliding or hinged glass door usually has a standard opening along the long side

oklouise Thanks, your plan makes for a much larger vanity. I'm just worried about the toilet being the first thing you see when you walk in ? Is there somehow I could fit a small cistern toilet in the Laundry nook? Or change the position of the door to the right slightly so that the shower and vanity are more in view when you walk in ?

Dreamer Thanks , Yeah I had another post where I was trying to figure out how to have some of the shower open. What about if I had the original design but had 400mm of the end of the shower closed off with a 500mm opening. That way the toilet is completed protected?

Siriuskey What a GREAT idea!!! I'm going to try to sketch it in a program that will show it up in 3D so I can get a sense of the space. I'm thinking a large mirror on the new dividing wall as you walk in (above your drawn towel rail) will give out a large sense of space. Also, a long narrow 600mm wide vertical window running down the far wall of the shower again to give a sense of openness.

I also love the other side with the slider for the laundry/ study nook. Is there something that will conceal both areas - as the slider will only conceal either one. Something that doesn't take too much space depth ways to open as, my kitchen bench is close to that laundry door/wall. Thanks so much !

If you need 3D it can be done but would need to see more of the floorplan.

The toilet could be hung on the external wall with the slider going in behind it, or you could just have a normal door. opening back towards the toilet

Re the mirror, I would keep it above the vanity as just a mirror or mirrored shaving cabinets, if you put a mirror above the towel rail you will be able to see the toilet from the doorway.. Love the tall narrow window in the R/H end of the shower, (opposite the toilet) wasn't sure if you were able to change the window.

Do you need to cover the desk, if you fit it out correctly you should be able to leave it open to the kitchen, other than that you would most likely need to look at bi fold doors cheers

@Siriuskey Ideally would like the study nook / desk to have that option of closing it off (to hide the messiness!!) and also was going to make a feature of the barn door type sliding across it. But perhaps as you said in your first post, it may be possible to get 2 doors that can overlap one another?

Good point about the mirror reflecting the toilet. I didn't think of that!

I have attached a more of the floorpan - if you're able to do a quick 3D sketch up, that would be awesome

Hi Robbi, I have just done a quick top 3d view and swapped the kitchen to the other wall to open the room up to the courtyard which will make the whole space bigger and filled with light, I also added a glass door in the bathroom which opens to the courtyard with a opening window above it. I'am attaching a photo that I saw in your ideas book which uses your beloved barn doors

WOW that looks great!

Hi. I have a similar set up and it works extremely well. Leave toilet where it is out of sight. Reduce basin to 750mm and poss change to preggy type and put in a 1100mm corner shower. For luxury add two shower heads as well. This gives a bigger area in the middle for walking/drying space. I am REALLY happy with mine. All the best.

Thanks HU-720847481 That's great to know. With the 1100 mm shower unit, do you mean it's completely enclosed with a door? Are yo saying to reduce the length of the shower from 1200 to 1100 ? If so, how would you put two shower heads if the space has been reduced further?

At the moment, with Siriouskey's design in this forum, from the entry, there is around 1200 space before that shower wall hits in front of you. If we reduce the vanity from 1150 to 750, does this give 400mm extra space on entry ? Is this the extra drying/walk space you refer to ?

Are yo able to post a couple of pics of yours form different angles?

thanks so much

My B'room is too small to take photos. lol Keep the toilet, shower and basin in the same places but put in a preggy 750 wide basin. By doing this you can put in an 1100 corner shower instead of the rectangular one. cm for cm they are the same size shower. They are made of glass with the door on the angle opening into the centre of the room. You can then put a different shower nozzel on each wall. I have a fixed one and a sliding one. By cutting the corner off the shower you then end up with a bigger area to get dry in. You can wave your arms over the basin and toilet but not through the corner of the shower that you had. By cutting the corner off it makes the room much bigger while still having a really nice good sized shower. Having 2 nozzels means 2 can fit in the shower and keep warm too. All the best.
