Comments (55)I think you should explore the idea of getting a Pod on the deck. its like a mini granny flat / cabana with toilet and small multi purpose room. You might have the space for this. Your layout looks fine as it is, and if you have a covered pergola, a second toilet in a pod will works well there. I am a bit against adding plumbing and moving walls to your house. First its a mess. lots of putting pipes under the flooring, fixing the flooring again, also ceiling and conrice works, and you end up with smaller bed, tighter layout. Too much sacrifice and not too much to gain....See MoreBefore and After Modern En-suite

Comments (29)I also like oklouise plan. good insulation is the key. In your original posted plan, Maybe change where the beds are positioned in the room. I think there is some bad feng shui if your head is backing onto a toilet. Apart from the noise factor, every time the toilet is flushed....See More1991_kid

3 years agoi think the maximum space available for the spa would be about 1700 x 1200 and there should be a wide range of spa baths that will fit within that space but a freestanding bath needs some space all around so i would pre3fer a built in bath with a tiled edge to line up some candles and glass of wine

3 years agoThanks @pottsy99 it’s a new built snd next to the cupboard it’s just the hallway with the bedrooms bathrooms etc so I’m thinking taking the cupboard out then gaining plenty of room for the spa we want
what reckon?

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoi think you need to discuss installation with the manufacturer as the website give general info but no specific details of the width of the necessary surround for the spas you 're considering and although the dimensions shown suggest that they will fit within the available space there still has to be enough room for the surrounds and to have a full size door into the ens and into the toilet and shower ..my last example shows an option for a generous Free standing spa in this range that should still allow use by two people but other brands may offer other sizes that could suit you better
