Help with ensuite layout
last month
We have an ensuite where the toilet's back is to the window and faces the shower (recreated image below).
Am thinking of changing the position of the toilet. Any thoughts or advice regarding layout?
Bathroom dimensions are 2060 mm deep (or. From door to mirror) and 2330 mm long.
Would like to have a shower with a sliding door. Any tips on that?
Also tempted to get a shower base. Are they considered old fashioned though?

Comments (34)Alright let's see if we can put this to bed. There's nothing at all wrong or amateurish with your home. Agree seeing photo it's arguably too much of a compromise nor cost effective to move/change the window considering outcomes. The solution here will come in the fit-out and how to balance that as best as possible within the constraints set. You can do it with a 1500 size bath option, 900x1200 shower. and it's essentially a tweak/fine-tune from the idea you had originally. (I shouldn't really do this but here you go/I'm feeling generous today ;) ) You run a ledge all the way around the back and end walls. Mirrored cabinets all along the end above the basin. This will feel massive and luxurious with the ledges/more dimension & interest. But you'd need a concealed in wall cistern. Any privacy concerns (in bathrooms) can be managed by combination blinds/furnishings - arguably much more flexible (and cheaper in this situation) than changing glazing to frosted glass. And then you still retain an outlook/light to your ensuite during the day etc... Good luck & Merry Christmas :) PD...See Morechanging layout and adding a en-suite
Comments (4)it should be easy enough to use bed 2 as space for an ensuite but that means losing a bedroom...do you have any other long term plans to add extra bedrooms, new kitchen etc eg the old extension seems like a much better location for the kitchen, make a bigger dining area and maybe add a screened room across the back to take advantage of your good climate but neither idea solves the problem of the missing bedroom, could the living area be converted to extra bedrooms but how you would access the clothesline from a laundry in the garage...is there space to add an external door on either side of downstairs? maybe the cellar would be a better location for the new laundry with closer access to the stairs and an existing external (front) door and add laundry shute from the upstairs bathroom but making scaled plans is difficult as the real estate plans are inconsistent ...please confirm the dimensions of all the rooms (including bath, toilet, biws and hallways and i can make a better scaled plan to share...See MoreHelp with ensuite layout
Comments (12)Definitely enclosed shower. Sometimes I like the idea of a giant shower and other times I think it is ridiculously excessive. There is a linen cupboard, 2m wide and 600mm deep on the other side of that wall. I have toyed with the idea of increasing the depth of the linen and reducing the shower but not sure how deep I would have to make the linen to allow for shelves to be installed along the side walls. Would 1m be enough or would that be pointless?...See MoreHelp with ensuite layout
Comments (3)Do you need a closed off area for the occupants of master bedroom to get ready at different times in a closed area, and not disturb the other. If you need a closed off area then option 1. If you don’t then option 2. I agree about bath. If you want a bath then put in a drop in bath. There are too many places you can’t get to with the freestanding bath. A back to wall bath may be better than a freestanding bath....See More

Thanks @bigreader . You can't see in my above photos but the door is next to the shower.
