Bathroom design help
Hi there, we are in the process of designing a new wet room style bathroom for our house. Its a new space being created within our existing house, taking space from our living room as its huge. The bathroom will be 1.9 x3.6m. large skylight, no windows. we want to fit a seperate bath and storage as we really lack storage. I would love some feedback on the design. Will it be too tight to enter the shower area where thr toilet is? planning wall hung to save space. other options to consider are swapping the shower to opposite wall. or i could move the position of the cavity slider and swap the vanity to opposite wall. i think we prefer a cavity slider, however could consider a normal door, moving the doorway position to the left a bit and put the toilet on same side as vanity with a slightly smaller vanity. only issue with a normal door is you would have to close it to access the cupboards, which might be annoying? love some thoughts! thanks

sure thing, however its not really relevant as that doesnt affect the size or design. my questions were more about the layout of the bathroom itself. it will be located next to bedroom 3. thank you

Comments (10)Hi all thank you for your comments, the bathroom is 2700 wide (window wall) and 1800 deep- looking at 2D plan from doorway, less the boxed in area to the left of the window which is 700 x 800 which creates the fixing wall for the shower head, and and an alcove for the basin area. As you can see it is a planning nightmare and all your suggestions are very useful, I had thought of closing in the window all together & putting in a skylight, but externally it would mess up the appearance of the upstairs windows that are all the same and look nice from the street view.Always a balance between one decision and another. All other options for placing the shower = claustrophobia and given the room is already so poky, at least a shower floor area of 1370 x 800 will give some sense of space. Ive read up on so many design ideas for small areas, thank you angelasusanm, I'm shuffling papers all over the place as I love proportion and a bathroom with many angles is difficult, especially for tiles to look good. This bathroom is not a redo - its never been completed and so there are no skirtings or wall tiles or anything, the pic has a piece of wood looking lino on the floor....See MoreCombined bathroom laundry design help please...
Comments (16)Thanks siriuskey for your design and comments. A bit of background would no doubt be useful, so apologies for this late addition to the discussion. The house will accommodate a reasonably fit and active retired couple in their 60s (us!). We have elderly Mums and expect that 1 of them will end up moving into the guest room/study (hence the desire to have a connection between this room and a shower/WC). We'd also like to be able to access the backyard and have visitors able to access the WC - although we accept that at times we can't have everything...although it's worth a shot! We've struggled with the layout of this space for some time now and picked our builder's brains, but so far no-one has been able to come up with a solution. Both oklouise and you prove that other options are out there....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 MoreBathroom design help needed please
Comments (13)This is the easiest way to do this! You could maybe fit a separate loo room with double vanities and shower/bath in a room together but this would look far more spacious. The door maybe able to stay right where it is or you might like to centre is with the window. The minute you have ferns, greenery and a feature out in the garden THAT becomes the focal point. Hope this helps and you like it. Cheers Margot...See More- last month
