We put in a double towel rod when we finished our new house a few months ago and to be honest, I wish I had gone with hooks. The rod makes a nice presentation for guests, but to use a towel and line it up on the nicely on the rod after each use is a bit of a pain. It would be so much nicer to hang them on hooks instead.

It's a shame that the door slides towards the shower because the first thing you see is the toilet. Could there be any other place for it? I love your inspiration photo but the two examples you have shown are not as inspiring. I would try a few more options before you set your layout in stone. I like the idea of the white vanity with the wooden top and try to find the black and white basin. Our best eye level storage is a recessed cabinet with a decorative mirror beside it. I can't understand this obsession with storing all the things you want to use behind the mirror you also want to use. Love that idea of tiling the kick-board to match the floor. I have also put mirror on the kick-board for the same effect. Wall hung cabinets definitely give the appearance of more space but do you out of some storage. I dislike the idea of a wall of glass at the shower unless you are a fastidious house wife because after a few years of being subjected to soap scum they can become cloudy and that can be permanent as I recently discovered in a rental property. In a tiny room the area can look larger if your tiles are laid on the diagonal. If you are forced to keep the same layout would you consider a piece of furniture for the vanity? Good luck. Remember the planning is half the fun.

If you include the linen cupboard which will give you around 3000, You could try the following, door size and architrave need to be checked. The vanity shown is 1000 x 600 to help show how the linen space fits, I would reduce the vanity back to 400 - 500 deep Shower screen is shown as 1100 to fit with the door and allow access to the bath shower

Yes I have Polytec laminate in both my bathrooms, powder rooms and laundry. Our home is nearly 7 years old, and the laminate is still looking good. Most vanity’s have quartz or stone tops, have you asked the supplier to confirm your thoughts about being too heavy for the floating vanity? A photo of my children’s bathroom.
