I am buying a house and there is an area to one side of the main bedroom that is currently being used as a very large cupboard with high ceilings. I am wondering if it could be made into an ensuite. It is 100x185cm. I think it might be possible to fit everything into it (see my "plan" in the pic) but as it's lockdown I am not able to go to any showrooms to see things in person. So I am wondering if a) this layout would work and b) to anyone who is more familiar with bathroom design- is this even worth it or will it be incredibly cramped? Thanks!
Its not the biggest of spaces but an ensuite could be squeezed into this space. You will also need to consider the cost of plumbing and waste.
If you would like a scaled concept putting together for the space to understand what you will be able to fit into the space, plus a fly through video to see how you will feel in the space I can put this together for you for £150. I can complete this remotely.
Check out the bathroom redesign I completed at My Claybrick Home knocking 3 small rooms into 1, This blog post also includes a video example of a fly through.
Fitting it in is one thing, but you'll need to talk to a plumber about how the soil pipe is gonna get to the drain. If it's near/above existing bathrooms/kitchens/utility that will be easier.
Size-wize, it might be too small. 1m deep is certainly possible but would be cramped. 1.8m might not be wide enough, but a plumber could guide you on that. Can you steal any more space? Ideally another 70 or 80cm would be great.
In theory it's possible. We've done it in an almost identical bathroom although, as has already been pointed out, it does depend on the plumbing.
In small spaces like this, it's a good idea to conceal pipework as much as possible. If you panel out on the long wall by around 150mm, you can create an L shaped configuration. This creates an alcove into which you can fit some mirrored cabinets with over lighting or just a mirror with light over, and a useful shelf below. It will also allow for a shaver point, wall mounted taps and basin, a wall hung WC and, in theory would accommodate your soil pipe.
For the purpose of the layout I've highlighted the tiled areas in blue and included a wall hung basin but you could go for a little washstand like the one in the picture attached.
