another comment - I am thinking of having enough waterproofing to constitute a wet room but still have a narrower fixed glass pane next to wall with shower head, maybe 500 - 600 mm wide. I've visited other peoples bathrooms and some are mopping and squeegeing all over the place because the tiler did not get the fall correct and water pools all over the floor. Another wet room I saw is entirely functional, the shower wall & shower heads faces towards the bath on opposite wall (narrow galley type bathroom layout) and there is no mess. I noticed they used 200 x 200 wall tiles and smaller mosaic tiles on the floor, about 4" square. Their bath is fabulous, the architect used a standard inset bath but put a shelf around the top lip area, and it sits on a plinth with lighting underneath. The bath appears to be floating a little and very pleasing to look at for what can be an oppressive heavy object in a smaller space. Their wet room works a treat.

the problem with rearranging the fixtures is that none of the alternatives leaves enough walking space except the last, which is the same as what you have already first try an automatic door closer and consider a custom vanity with a small drop in sink in a counter that has a narrow section that continues across the top of the toilet and a wall mirror or mirrored medicine cabinet the maximum width of available wall under the windows...widening the counter will be useful and the mirrors and gorgeous new tiles, bath and vanity will help to distract from the view of the toilet

I have decided that it is a bit extravagant for me to have two bathrooms in my little house based on the small amount of times the second bathroom will be used. I am still wanting to have a laundry cupboard that has the washing machine and dryer in it (and maybe some storage or bench space for sorting????), but where the top bathroom was, I am just going to have a walk in robe off the bedroom to the right. It will have a cavity sliding door into the walk in robe. The walls go to 2700mm. To enable the shower to have a width of 900mm in the lower bathroom, the doorway is now going to be moved so that the entry to the bathroom is via a door to the far right. The toilet will now be in between the shower and vanity, so that the toilet isnt the first thing you see when you walk into the bathroom. Can anyone see any issues with the changed design, and can you suggest how to design the walk in robe and the laundry cupboard to maximise storage and function. Should I now make the the bathroom deeper and the walk in robe narrower? Should I make the laundry cupboard wider? PS. If I ever buy another house, it will be one that has already been renovated.....I am not made for design decisions. Thanks in advance for your help.

It depends on what colours you are brave enough to use. The tile colour you have chosen will match with a lot of colours. There are so mosaics in white too if you don’t want colour. Beaumont’s tiles have 27% off all tiles at moment. I noticed that they have a smaller subway in Carrara look but would probably enable you to use cool and warm accessories in bathroom.
