Bathroom reno layout advice
Comments (20)Save the pink bathroom! The original floor and the pink bath are beautiful! And obviously appropriate to the era of your house. http://savethepinkbathrooms.com/ To give you a more spacious feel, have the door replaced with a cavity sliding door - it gives you an amazing amount of extra space, we did it in our bathroom I would replace the vanity, which is obviously not original, with a custom laminate vanity with cupboards underneath in pink (top) and grey (cupboard doors/sides) or even a boomerang pattern for the top (http://retrospaces.com.au/retro/images/laminates/Renovation/FirstLadyPink.jpg) have a skilled tiler repair any areas that need repairing and have the tiles professionally cleaned and re-grouted and re-do all of the silicone, Then replace all the tapwear with new chrome taps but in an appropriate style (like these for example http://www.caroma.com.au/bathrooms/taps/retro/retro-wall-top-assemblies) and a new glass shower screen. A really fresh coat of white paint (use the bathroom product), better lighting - put a light in above the mirror (http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/00255303/) and a fan/heater/light in front of the vanity exactly above where you'll stand when you get out of the shower. If the mirror isn't in good shape (or it may be mirror doors on a cabinet? I can't tell) then think about replacing the mirror too. You'll save a heap of money over completely re-doing the bathroom and importantly you'll be in keeping with (and preserving) the midcentury design of your home....See MoreBathroom layout help - awkward space at bathroom
Comments (5)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!!...See MoreAdvice needed on a bathroom layout
Comments (29)My thoughts for what they are worth. Can the window be cut down in width and if needed increased in height so the sill finishes at the bathtub hob level, if not leave the sill height as is. I have allowed for a 1650 long x 750 wide with a 75mm tiled hob surround. You have a; 1400 long x 1050 wide shower. 1425 long Vanity. If you want wall cabinets either side of mirror they can be recessed into the existing wall frame (if the wall is framed) and mirror can continue across cabinet doors. If the wall is solid brick/block you have room to build out a wall frame anyway. I'm a bit short on time to explain much more but hope this may help as another option....See MoreNeed bathroom layout advice please!
Comments (20)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 😩😩😩...See MoreKate
