Yes thank you for your thoughts. the room is 2.8 (with window) vs 3.4m. I do find it a bit annoying too as I don't like that you open the door and see straight away into the shower (though I'm certain the door would have a lock). I'm sure they lined the bath up to be with the window as visually that looks better, but then I find the space at the end annoying. I like the alternative drawings (I like three of them lots!) and I had been considering an drop in bath built wall to wall rather than a freestanding but also finding it frustrating to find a really nice supportive bath and there are less drop in baths than freestanding around at the moment which is a bit annoying. Thanks Anna for the picture, that helps as that looks good (though we would have more space at either end, 50cm) and I prefer the look of yours with some space but not as cavenous... I think I might have to have a talk with my husband as we really need to work out what to do!!

thanks siriuskey, have attached more of a floor plan. i am leaning towards (hubby needs convincing) putting bath in master en-suite (new addition) as the bathroom we are renovating would be more of a powder room or bathroom to service the study if that was ever changed into a bedroom. As you can see the guest bedroom has an en-suite off it and 2 other bedrooms in another section are serviced by a bathroom. Ceiling is currently at 2700mm all round, no sloped walls Don’t know why it puts my photos upside down 😩😩😩

@dB Emery, I am also about to embark on a bathroom reno myself and my plan is similar in some ways to yours as the room has a similar layout. I, too, have the bathroom door in the middle of the wall which I don't like but its not easy to move. My plan is to have the vanity on one side of the door (same as yours) but I am planning to have the shower on the other side of the door. The bathtub will go under the window so when you open the door, you will see the vanity to your right and the freestanding bath right in front but slightly towards the wall that holds the vanity. The toilet will go on the other end where your plan has the bathtub. My thinking was to have a visually open space when you enter the bathroom and the showerscreen, even though it is glass, might visually make the bathroom smaller. I will try to find my plan and post it here. I do have a question about the showescreen. Have you consulted anyone on whether a 1200mm long single pane of glass will prevent water spray outside the shower area?

A second bathroom would be good on the top floor. You could also reconfigure the existing upper floor bathroom. Move the hand basin. Have a door on the hallway side, and close up the existing door from bedroom and put the basin on that side next to the toilet. Then it will be accessible for all occupants without walking through someone’s bedroom.
