Need help with tiny bathroom layout

I'm in the planning stages for a complete down-to-the-studs remodel of my tiny second floor bathroom. Currently there is only a tiny bit of floor space and the fixtures are very crowded. The first attached image shows a measured diagram of the current layout... it's pretty bad. I'm thinking of replacing the tub with a custom shower to open things up a bit. What is the ideal layout for the fixtures?
The second image is one layout I've been considering... how can I improve upon it?
My main goal with the layout is to make the room feel larger, and provide more space to move around.
Flexibility:
It would be best if the toilet stayed on Wall D... as that is where the plumbing stack is and the joists run from wall A to wall C. The door could be moved to any point on wall A, and the window could be moved to anywhere one wall B or C (but I would prefer to leave it where it is for budget reasons!)
I would really appreciate your input!
Thanks

Comments (3)If you are using an installer they should be able to give you more tips on the best layout. Light coloured or white tiles will make the space feel bigger, maybe adding a line or border of another colour to add interest.

Comments (5)Hi. I think a Chesterfield would be nice, you can find some small ones c5ft or so which will allow for a narrow lamp table or trunk. I'd go for a ŵall to wall bookcase behind the sofa with a couple of ŵall lights affixed. I don't know what styles you like but perhaps french doors painted in a dark grey to give a crittall look. Does the tv fit in the alcove if you were to add shelves and then add art over the fire with a large mirror on the ŵall facing you? I would keep colours light (is the kitchen grey?) and although it would fill the space a little I might add a narrow upholstered footstool which you can use as extra seating and/or add a tray on one half which you can accessorise...See MoreNeed help for layout of new extension
Comments (1)If I'm being honest, I'm really not sure on this layout. You have services on both sides of the extension, which even with my limited knowledge of building is expense that you could avoid. Do you need a laundry and a utility, or could you combine them.? Also I hate the idea of a toilet off the kitchen. The garage also looks small. Could you take out the door on the garage and make that the bathroom off your corridor, and make the corridor your utility. Then you have all the space free where the new bathroom and utility are. If you want more space for the utility and bathroom I would suggest bringing that wall in (make kitchen and dining narrower) and that would have the advantage of making your study wider. One other point is that leaving the study there with a window to the side will make the kitchen very dark....See More

10 years agoYou're getting some great advice. I like your layout, with the glass shower enclosure or wall as suggested by Dytecture and LDE. I think to maintain some maneuvering space, if you are going with a mud set pan, you should limit yourself at 42" in width, as suggested, for the benefit of your toilet location. It may be possible to make the pan 42" square if you are very careful in your vanity choice, small, possibly a vessel sink. I will post an example of one bath remodel that I designed on a 16" shelf (didn't want to move a door), which offers some storage, and is right in the same size range of what you'll need to make this bath work--(ignore the w/c, that is where your door, in relationship to this vanity would go) This shelf could be 21/15 also--better than 12" at high part. I feel your plumbing stack may take a bit more room out of the back wall than you anticipate. Wall stacks are not easy to move, so unless it is completely opened up and you can see exactly what you are dealing with, all of our assumpltions may require some adjustment. Otherwise, I believe your instincts appear to be going in the right direction. Put a 30" wide (or 27") linen cabt. mounted at +54" min above the toilet tank--you need some place to put extra towels. Happy Houzzing.
