Hi, get rid of your top loader and existing tub, get a front loader, run the benchtops all the way along wall to wall, add some cabinetry under the bench, if you like place your dryer on the wall or put the washing machine under the dryer in a tower left of window then run the tops all the way across with sink and cabinets. Hope this makes sence ? Stephen

challenging! i think a separate toilet and vanity area and bath/laundry works better and allows for multiple person occupancy but, measurements are critical so, a toilet shortest front to back leaves more leg room and an extra big drop in handbasin would look best in the bathroom instead of a laundry tub and what about an old fashioned shower curtain instead of a glass screen if you like the big bathtub with shower instead of a walk in super wide shower with glass screen. The scale of the laundry/bath wall cabinets will fit best (and have more storage for linen, laundry supplies and shampoo etc) if you use a 30cm deep kitchen wall cabinet (with mirror doors) instead of the usuall medicine cabinet depth The tall skinny cabinet in the vanity area should just fit an ironing board and skinny vacuum cleaner with linen under the small drop in (makes the bench more spacious) handbasin ...The doorway into the vanity area has no door, although an in-wall slider would be OK coming from the toilet side, a swinging door would just be in the way...the two windows in the bathroom are placed to maximise ventilation and should be no more than 75cm wide and 120cm tall (frosted glass?) Careful choice of fittings should have everything fitting in OK, good luck with it

Consider the sightline from outside the laundry room. With the second option if both doors are left option do you see the toilet from a living area? There is not enough information on the plan to see what room is adjacent to the laundry. If you do decide to go with option 2 ensure that you use a single switched exhaust fan/light unit in the ceiling, so that when somebody visits the loo and turns on the light then the exhaust fan turns on while the light is on. One of my clients had a similar internal room for a powder room and I designed an internal high light window to the powder room that borrowed some natural light from the adjacent bathroom. A small window with a sill at 1800mm above the floor level on the wall behind the toilet cistern would "borrow" some natural light from the laundry and still provide adequate privacy for option 2.

I just renovated my bathroom, the W/D now is in the laundry cabinet in the bathroom, however there is no space for a laundry sink, so I am going to have the laundry sink just outside of the bathroom in a cabinet, is that ok with NCC regulations?
