We have currently gutted the bathroom in our new house. Dimensions are 2700mm x 3900mm. The shower is in a fixed position but I would like advice on where to locate the bath. We would like a freestanding bath but I am concerned with having enough space to clean around and behind it. So attached are my 2 current ideas. 1. to have the bath parallel to the window but leave at least 450mm space between the bath and the wall, 2 to place the bath at an angle across the corner with storage shelves behind. Any suggestions or opinions?

I agree with Tiffany Weeks, it really depends on what your future plans would be. If you intend on living in that house, then by all means you should make the house work for you; however from a re-sale point of view, a bathroom with a bath tub tends to go up in value. Having said that, there are also a lot of people nowadays that are opting for eliminating the tub, so it is no longer a must. Good luck!

I had this issue and my builder came up with the following solution He drylined the whole external wall of the bathroom until it came flush with the end of the bath. I now have a very very thick external wall. It's covered in panelling which i love! Its full of insulation and the bathroom is now really warm. It looks very slick and neat without any messy spots. I have a very deep windowsill which is full of wicker baskets and plants. And then theres an inbuilt alcove into this thick wall which contains my shampoos etc etc. Its taken a good bit of space out of the room but the room is warmer... looks neater and has more storage

really love the square look, any ideas.
