Bathroom layout feedback please

3 years ago

Looking for some feedback on the design proposed for our bathroom and some of the of the changes i'm thinking of making.

Thinking we’ll change it so just behind the bath and inside the shower is tiled and other walls painted. or maybe the boxing in should be tiled too?

Changing flooring to LVT oak.

Note: The tall unit will actually just be a unit built into a false wall either in the position shown or switched to by the door.

Undecided what to do on the wall above the wc, basin and bath. Options we're thinking are: -

Full mirror above the sink basin and bath (as shown)

Mirrored cabinets above wc and sink

Long narrow mirror above with cabinets above.

We're aiming for a contemporary, fresh feel.

we like the ideas below but not sure how to create the feel myself.

could you switch the bath and shower round? not a huge deal if you can't...I'm just thinking that opening a door and have a glass shower screen right next to you could make the room feel small? whereas a bath sat there could create a more open feel?
I personally would say keep it all tiled- paint can often peel in a bathroom so it's easier to keep it tiled
and I would say just have one big mirror above the toilet and sink because that's going to give the room that seamless contemporary feel which you are after
hope that helps 😁

Thank you, we can’t move the shower to where the bath is because of the low window but we could maybe push the shower along and put the tall cupboard by the door instead. Good point I’ll see if we can do that.

Oh wow! I've finally found a bathroom without a window - and roughly the same size of our own! The transformation is great - it gives me hope that we can also alter the layout of our bathroom in the next year! Fab job!

East Kent Eco - again thank you for your input. As a pro I wonder if you could offer your thoughts on a couple of scenarios 1 - Leave bath where it is - what would be involved in moving the shower 4-6 inches to the centre of the bath? I did consider the P shaped bath and will consider your suggestion for a shorter bath to allow room for the toilet, but I currently had to put in a door stop to protect the shower door from the entrance door handle and I would be concerned about a rounded door being even closer. If I left the bath where it is I have a couple of options, turning the toilet and cistern 90 degrees to the adjoining wall - see above for the considerations there, or I have also considered switching the toilet and sink. I would put the sink facing the wall where the cistern currently is have a large-ish vanity from the base of the bath to the wall, and the if the toilet was where the sink is it would not interfere with the doors for the hot press as the seat would be considerably lower than the sink is currently thus giving me the better access I want. In this scenario the main issue for me would be the toilet would be facing the entrance door, a bit unsightly but if it gave me the space I want I think I could live with the compromise. 2 - A bit more involved, but I have also considered moving the bath sideways along the short length of the room, shower end over the space where the cistern is currently and moving the sink and toilet to the space where the bath is currently. I think this would allow me room for a vanity and maybe also a tall storage cupboard for the towels and linens currently in the hot press. The obvious concern with this is the shower spray in the direction of the hot press, if I got the storage I needed elsewhere in the bathroom I wouldn't be concerned about those getting wet, but would want to ensure I don't end up with a leak over the stairs. Access would also be an issue if repairs were required for the shower pump or the hot water system. You would have to step into the bath to gain access. Is there a solution to waterproof the cupboard?

I think you could improve the flow by moving the bathroom where the office is and extend to where the wardrobe is. Move the kitchen to where the bathroom is abs sitting area to where the kitchen is. Maybe tweak the bedroom to make larger to fit wardrobe. Have desk in open plan area.

I have a window in my shower area in one of my bathrooms? and it seems to work ok

My suggestion would be to free up some floor space by building storage behind the mirror so you could do away with the cupboard. That might enable you to move the towel rail so that the door doesn't crash into it. To me putting the shower just inside the door with a minimal screen and no tray means everything around it will probably get wet, including the floor just inside the door.
