Ensuite Reno suggestions, it's dated and dark...
Comments (14)Hello, the way to make the room feel bigger is to take out the ceiling up to the roof line and add an openable / remote operable roof window. Look at Fakro and Velux web sites. A bit of structural work to do in the roof but well worth the effort to achieve a light filled ventilated space. Ideally a " wet room " with no timber products and all stainless steel fittings. No chrome on base metal otherwise they will corrode in no time. If you can try and break through walls for the wall cabinet if there is a cupboard or robe behind this is also a space saving method. The window can be pushed out in a bay to enhance the space. Have not read much of the above but importantly remove all tiles, do not tile over old tiles. Waterproof the shower area walls before tiling. Don't take the glass shower screen to the floor, leave a gap and stand the glass on a stainless steel balustrade foot. Angle or channel fix the other edge to the wall. No need for a door on a wet room. Vanity cabinets are available in plastic but change the screws to stainless steel. Ideally no base cabinet and have a wall recessed cabinet as mentioned above. Don't think outside the square, think outside the box.

Comments (23)Hi again Oklouise, I contacted support and apparently there can be only 10 photos per discussion. I deleted most of my photos, to try and add more, but no joy. Here is the link to a photo of the shower rail in in the shower space. I am not keen on towels hanging near toilets, and when I saw this picture, I thought it was ideal - no tip toeing across the bathroom floor to reach for the towel: http://www.housetohome.co.uk/bathroom/picture/neutral-stone-tiled-shower-room?room_style=modern. Here's another pic showing the clean lines of the frameless glass shower, I think the glass loses some of that simplicity if it has to sit on top of a framed bath (have to scroll along to bathroom pic): http://www.insideout.com.au/home-style/clean-contemporary/home-tour-a-modern-beachside-holiday-home?ret=/home-style/clean-contemporary/take-a-peek-inside-this-elegant-coastal-escape If we didn't go with the full length vanity, but a 1500mm vanity there would be more room for the freestanding bath, a bit like this picture (sorry its only half a picture):https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/61/aa/74/61aa748fc15686d04bba77016d4fd1db.jpg Your suggestion for the IT nook is interesting. I like the idea of having more wall space in the Master Bedroom... The IT nook already has had the velux opening skylight installed in the roof (just needs to be fitted out at the ceiling). The idea of the IT nook, was a personal study for me. It was to replace the original study which did open directly into the kitchen/family room. I found it was a little too open, for when I had confidential documents spread out on my desk... The idea was to make the study 'less' accessible (not to family members, but overly familiar guests, at times..) In saying that, I quite like the look of your one, it has an element of separation with the hall.... I am going to consider changing it. I am liking your 'thinking outside the box', I'm curious, are you an interiors architect?...See MoreRelaxing Ensuite renovation in a Surburban Family Home
