Help with en-suite
Comments (34)Alright let's see if we can put this to bed. There's nothing at all wrong or amateurish with your home. Agree seeing photo it's arguably too much of a compromise nor cost effective to move/change the window considering outcomes. The solution here will come in the fit-out and how to balance that as best as possible within the constraints set. You can do it with a 1500 size bath option, 900x1200 shower. and it's essentially a tweak/fine-tune from the idea you had originally. (I shouldn't really do this but here you go/I'm feeling generous today ;) ) You run a ledge all the way around the back and end walls. Mirrored cabinets all along the end above the basin. This will feel massive and luxurious with the ledges/more dimension & interest. But you'd need a concealed in wall cistern. Any privacy concerns (in bathrooms) can be managed by combination blinds/furnishings - arguably much more flexible (and cheaper in this situation) than changing glazing to frosted glass. And then you still retain an outlook/light to your ensuite during the day etc... Good luck & Merry Christmas :) PD...See MoreUrgently need help with our tiny-bathroom design
Comments (58)For storage, I used a mirrored lift up cupboard door above the sink area in my very small ensuite with some success. We put power points inside the cupboard too - it was a very good place to have them as the door lifts up & is out of the way. I also used some of the wall space to allow slightly deeper shelves, without the cupboard jutting so far into the room. The cistern was recessed into the wall cavity, (in our case below the window) & it worked well to save a little space in the room. Photos are not very good, but I hope you can get the idea.. It worked very well. The ensuite was 1mx2m. We use vertical towel rails. They're really good & very compact, but do make sure the electrician installs them up the right way. They work on the heat rising principal & do not work well upside down as ours were installed!Hope this is helpful. Good luck....See MoreMaster suite layout dilemma
Comments (10)the best location for the external door is in the ens or the one next to the wiw where the walking space to wiw and outside door would overlap...having the external door in the corner means that you have to have an extra walkway on either side of the bed and side tables and that takes up much more space that is better used in the wiw and ens...having the wiw door in the centre of the wiw makes no difference to the location of the outside door (although it wastes more space in corners that can't be used and would give a better view of the toilet from the bed which could be avoided by having the toilet on the outside wall) or if the wiw door is closer to the hall side the shower has to be swopped to the outside wall or you will walk on wet floors ..if you want a view of the courtyard from the bedroom consider windows that can be narrower than a door and think about the external door being from the ensuite...See MoreEn-suite placement
Comments (8)Swapping the shower with vanity would still look good. You could have an opaque shower screen. Also with the current layout the shower recess would be reflected in the vanity mirror anyway. This would also keep the wet area on one side, bath and shower, and the dry areas on the other, toilet and vanity. The only negative is that the toilet looks private with the current layout and shower wall. Moving the vanity may make the toilet less private....See More- 5 years ago
Thanks I‘ll hand draw it out When I get a chance. In the meantime here is the image of where the door needs to be that appears not to have attacged to my first post.
PRO5 years agoHi there!
This is for a 900x900 shower, towel rail by shower door.
Be sure to check door measurement of shower when you purchase.
Good luck!

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agobased on standard sized fixtures there should be enough space for a small corner shower and single vanity with a toilet squeezed into the space next to the shower (which is narrower than ideal for comfortable elbow room) leaving space in the middle to stand and dry yourself or one person to walk behind another... there also needs to be allowance made for the space that will be used by new wall and floor linings so strongly recommend that you research fixtures and collect pamphlets with specifications and consult a plumber before you buy anything
but i would prefer a bigger custom sized tiled walk in shower with glass panel and sacrifice a vanity cabinet for a wall hung sink with in wall mirrored wall cabinet and more toilet room for a more spacious feel
