small bathroom layout

5 years ago

opportunity to start a new bathroom from scratch. it is 2.1m by 1.7m. the one on the left is the typical layout in most homes with all fixtures along one wall. unfortunately this wall is solid and any concealed pipework will have to be boxed up and loose more depth. the one on the right will require the door to be changed to pocket door. facing a blank wall (radiator and possibly an artwork) once open the door. more opportunities for the sink and WC to be concealed and lined up.
any suggestions?thanks

Is this bathroom upstairs and where is the current soil pipe located? Ie do you have your current room layout or is this is a new bathroom location which has no existing plumbing?

They can drill through solid walls to put the soil pipe and plumbing in so it doesn’t always have to be boxed into the room.

Also the door one the second pic could easily open to the right to the bath without needing a pocket door (which takes up more room unless you can fit it to the outside of the wall)

it is a new upstairs bathroom. the first floor will be reconfigured. when I say box up I meant the pipe work on the wall and concealed cistern. soil pipe will go under the floor between the joists to down pipe outside.

Hello Orlac2, yes you could turn the bath round and have a smaller one.. Like a tubby.. You could also take out the bath and install a shower, have a wet room style with full tiling and back to wall sink and loo.. Could be a rather luxurious shower room.. but if the bath is required then why not look at getting a Tubby Torre by Albion. They have a whole range but this is a favourite.. It can be painted any colour you like.. I like the copper colour.. You get a really fantastic soak and it's a beautiful little tub! As well as a shower. : ))

Also, do you really need a bath in it? You could stick in a 1500mm shower along the right hand wall but back towards the door then a toilet and sink opposite each other under the window. Loads of natural light at the sink (could even be a double sink) and plenty of room to move around without it feeling too cramped.

pocket door does not take up more space than standard partition

Alternatively you could have one wall full of storage

don't you think it might be little too cramped? I thought about it before, but have concerns with the space for moving around

I don’t think it will be cramped but I have drawn a big 90cm wide p shaped bath and you might go smaller.
This plan does require some thought to make it work. You need to be able to open the doors of storage and have somewhere for towels and the door to the room will not be able to open into the room which means a pocket door or an outward opening door. You can also make it feel bigger by raising the storage off the floor, choosing a compact toilet, adding a wall sized mirror behind the sink, choosing the same tiles for the floors and walls, choosing larger tiles and good lighting.

Do you need a bath? If you have a walk in shower with a glass partition, it will look much more spacious.
