Small room to fit bathroom & laundry and toilet...?
Comments (3)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...See MoreBathroom Reno - should we get pro help?
Comments (9)If you've got great project management skills, design skills and an understanding of the building process for wet areas then go for it. If not I'd recommend hiring professionals, remembering you are not just paying for the work they are doing but also their training, experience and knowledge whether that be in design or building. Some of the bathroom product supply companies offer a design service (with varying level of design skills) and some builders can give you design advice (sometimes great, sometimes not). Alternatively, there are plenty of Houzzers who are happy to offer design advice and suggestions if you wanted to throw up your floor plans and a wish list. Once you've got your design in place I'd either hire a builder to manage the project for you or do some serious research into wet areas and engage trades as required, depending on your skill level; remembering some work like electrical and plumbing must be completed by a qualified trade. There are also a number of specific Australian Standards that need to be adhered to in wet areas for yours and others safety, now and in the future....See MoreAdvice needed!

Comments (11)This with the extra width you suggested the built in bath with a large shower space next to, the shower head coming off the opposite wall to help avoid water to window, the window would be best tiled, the wall with the shower door into "The wet room could be all glass up to the vanity. There are several suitable places for towel hanging and an extra storage cabinet could be above the toilet, I forgot to add this...See MoreCan we configure this small bathroom space - 1.8 metres x 2.1 metres.
Comments (11)depends on location of door and windows, choice of suitable fixtures, thickness of wall coverings and cooperation of your tradespeople but you need to decide what's most important for your lifestyle ie do you want a regular soak in a big bath or do you need a more generous handbasin with counter space and storage and, despite some toilets being quite narrow, we need to allow enough elbow and knee space around the toilet...all the sizes shown are based on readily available fixtures advertised on line and there's probably plenty of other suitable choices but keep in mind that there's probably not enough space for the necessary sloped floor for a walk in shower so i've used a shower cubicle with included door while the bathtubs, with over bath or handheld showers would probably need a glass screen for stand up showers ..some ideas to consider but you should measure out the walking distances between fixtures to see how much standing and drying space is available...See Moreandrewjason1
