Hi Katie. I've just finished a reno in a bathroom approximately this size. it looks like the toilet is currently on an exterior wall. if this is the case it can be costly - or not possible to relocate the plumbing. Yes, I know cisterns can be installed in the wall. My plumbers are wary of these ....try fixing a fault without cutting a hole - or holes - in the wall! If you are restricted to the outside wall, I would install a sliding door (gives you more space in the actual room). Leaving the bath and shower where they are saves $$$. if you move the toilet further to the left and install a wall-hung vanity under the window, you could also add a 'half-wall' to the toilet area for privacy. (Wall-hung vanities open the room up. This plan would give you great space on the left hand wall for storage and/or laundry hampers, You could of course switch the bath to the opposite wall, and move the toilet to the current bath area. Moving the door to the right AND installing a slider, would allow this. (BTW I just installed a 1700 bath - 1500's are available too.) Hope this is not too unclear! Enjoy the process!.

Couple of observations Lots of mosaic tiles have sharp edges so you need to be very detailed in how you do this. Have you considered a corner (spayed front) shower bath combo. There are several manufacturers that make these in fibreglass and acrylic materials (some with spa jets also). That way you can consider a shower screen that would be integral.

Sorry to continue....the plan by Louise on the 20/01/2017.... But the laundry ( with internal access or through cloak room) and ensuite to the rear of the garage the master behind...... Then a Wir separating the master form the living or a bathroom...... The a fireplace if required against the western wall central in the house.... The entrance and small cloak room for the winter woollies against the garage and the other three beds at the front RHS with bath near.... The lounge/ kitchen/ dining in a similar layout but with minimal a walls blocking the view from the entry to the living/kitchen .... I like at lease a small wall dividing the living and lounge for the teenagers also.... If I get an chance I will sketch something up. Good luck this the paperwork... Plans are the fun part.

This is just scary, that picture could be our ensuite expect for nib wall. Interestingly we are people who would use it at least twice a month for last 24yrs but we have beautiful country view thru pine forest and vineyard which is very private. So having cuppa an soaking is great for tired old muscles. Having said that in new house we are building its gone. Why is re-sale and maintaining them is a pain if your not using, not to mention water & electricity cost. The simplicity of a free standing is current trend but also think about cleaning around it, as its not as easy as you may think.
