Bathroom vanity: Do you leave a gap or place it against the wall?
Hello,
We are redoing our bathroom and wondering if the floating vanity should be placed against the wall or if we should leave a bit of a gap?
It seems more balanced to have it centered between the wall and the toilet, but might be best to have it against the wall so it gets sealed with silicone and water doesn't run down the side?
( the countertop overhang will allows for the drawers to open)
Also, should the tap goes left or right of the sink?
Thanks for your advices!

Bathroom space ? What to do?
Comments (17)My first rule for bathrooms is to make sure the toilet is not the first thing you see when you open the door. Move the toilet to where you currently have the shower, backing up against the wall with the door. It's also nice to have the toilet near a window! If you can, convert that door to a cavity sliding door to increase available room in the bathroom itself. A shower along the wall where you currently have the bath would have a number of benefits - it has a window, which is great for drying it out and preventing mould, it is long enough to have a towel rail at the end of it without towels getting wet and you wouldn't need to have a door on the shower (saving space again). I would suggest the shower rose go on the left end of the shower and the opening (in lieu of door) and towel rail at the right end. I would position a wall hung vanity unit on the left wall where you currently have the toilet. Good luck!...See MoreBathroom Vanity Ideas
Comments (7)Keep it simple. As your keeping the window. Build in the full wall with vanity. Basin on the left with mirror. I agree, you need the window for light and a light above the mirror. Check online with Reece for cabinetry sizes, just to get an idea of what fits. Basically just to help you understand that it's really not a hard Reno....See MoreSolutions needed to family bathroom layout to maximise space
Comments (10)Annb1997. Thanks for your suggestions. I don't think I need a heated towel rack if have a central heating radiator. A hanging rack would go above this perhaps too but also near the shower. In my lomg experience of CH the towels dry off fine in winter this way. In summer also when radiator not on if the window is open. I really do not like sliding doors on showers so have to find a solution with a 1000mm square shower with door. I have spent two hours today in a showroom looking at all possible combinations. Clearance is insufficient with certain size fixtures as you state with the vanity in the new position. So my homework tonight was choose from all the possible variations that we determined would work. Wish me luck!!...See MoreWhat do you think of these bathroom concepts?
Comments (9)depending on the size of the room and accurate location of existing doors and windows everything is out of proportion and all the concepts are hard to understand because we don't know the correct sizes ... the baths only look about 1200mm long, or the showers are oversized compared to the other fittings and look too small for a standard towel and what is the size of the storage and what can be stored in it....you need to collect a examples of proper sized fixtures eg a bath could be from about 1500 to 1800 long and 750 wide plus enough space to clean around a freestanding bath, most toilets need about 800 x 800 space to allow for elbow and knee room but there's lots of different sized toilets for different situations, showers need to be about 900 deep and say 900 to 1800 long but depends on available space and do you want a walk in shower with or without a glass screen or a shower cubicle or wet room or Japanese style ...dimensions are easily found on any manufaturers websites but allways start with accurate dimensions of the existing space and try again...See More

The tap is only propped against the wall, it appears too tall because of the part that is meant to go under the counter top is above it, same with the basin for that matter!
