What are the dimensions of the existing room without walls, where are the windows, in the toilet and over the vanity in the shower room? 3M x 3M what are we working with. If you remove all the walls except the linen cupboard and does the linen cupboard also have hall access? If so get the linen opening out of the bathroom and have doors to hall side, which will make both elements work better. I know toilets in main bathrooms are not everyone's cup of tea, but if you can have a 720 door from i take it, a hall, run a custom made vanity unit, and it must be custom made to fit exactly the space available, and take it from hall and over the toilet cistern, which should be a concealed cistern, maintenance panel is the flush plate, and just pan is displayed. Two vanities if needed, one bigger one is more on trend, and hang the cabinets off the floor under the vanity top, to make it look longer and makes cleaning under the cabinet so much easier. That leaves a lot of space for the bath where the second vanity unit is now, which would look fantastic as a freestanding type. A simple frameless glass or semi frameless glass shower screens, allow access to bath, so it might be say 1M wide, if you install those long grid type floor wastes and the shower is long enough you might get away without a shower door. New taps nice big tiles to ceiling and this will look sweet. Close off the toilet and it becomes a bit of a rabbit warren. R

after tiling to the ceiling in my high ceiling old bathroom i've decided that "next time" i would prefer to keep the tiles in line with the top of the architraves around doors and windows...tiles are there for a long time and so many tiles make me feel like i'm in a public bathroom and although i love the look of the new bathroom i miss the opportunity for some colour and/or texture with paint or wallpaper that can be changed so much more easily, cheaply and more often that extra high tiled walls

So, I' e been having a think about each of the three designs and what I like about each and thought I'd give some feedback to see if you have any more thoughts because you have been so helpful. I think my favourite one is the third one, with swapping the bath/shower over and being able to get storage into the hallway. But I am really unsure what to do with the laundry, I can't see any option to make it work without moving the external door. I also wondered if I made the sower 1200, then the toilet could be closer to the shower and then this makes even more space for the storage with could even be in the laundry like a coat/shoe area OR would it be large enough to put a wall hung toilet in there with small wall hand basin. I don't know if that might feel like the toilet is in a tiny box :) But I do love how we have managed to gain some extra space from the bathroom in that design. I also really like this second option particularly the laundry layout and extra toilet space (as it has a window in the toilet area). But I am still unsure about the shower next to bath and wonder if it would work to swap the shower with the toilet in that space? I'm just concerned about a shower next to the entry door though and if it makes it a bit tight with toilet next to bath for bathing kids etc. But I do love the space in the laundry and extra toilet room. And then this last one I think the bathroom layout could work really well but I am not overly keen on the powder room with door tot he hallway because there would be no window in that room, so I'm wondering how to shuffle that laundry/powder room space to fit with that bathroom layout. Thanks for you help.

is there a deck outside bed 2 with steps down connecting to the alfresco at teh lower level alfresco ...i suggest that the existing sliding doors with alfresco will save far more than the cost of the new plumbing for a kitchen at the lower level...the actual cabinets will cost the same regardless of where they are located but a large empty room without any restrictions will mean that the cabinets will be less restricted in the lower room but, i'm also wondering if there will be renovations to the rest of the house as it's much better to plan the whole house renovation at the same time even if the work is completed in stages eg the original kitchen and central area could make a cosy media space
