Current toilet room would be too narrow for shower. Not sure if there is room for toilet and basin beside the shower like this, or whether basin would be where toilet was before. Door could swing either way - or do narrow bifold doors so it doesn't block off half the space when open.

Comments (5)Hi there, It looks like it will work like that although the bath is obviously under a very low part of the ceiling. Ideally you need to see an elevation of the end wall to determine exactly how high the ceiling is at the point you step out of the bath. You don't want it so low you hit your head on it ever time you get out of the bath! I would also consider using a 1700 mm long bath along that end wall and running the soil pipe out along the near wall so your WC is on the immediate left of the door as you walk in. This might give you both the WC and the head end of the bath under the tall part of the room....See Moremixing tile shapes
Comments (0)Hello, please can I pick your collective brains? I'm loving these arabesque style tiles in cream, white and taupe for my small and awkward bathroom, but think they could be too much if they were on all walls, and also would very fiddly to tile around the inset window. I'm thinking I could put these on the wall behind the shower (the shorter wall) with a more uniform shaped tile on the longer window wall. Can't find any tiles that complement these nicely, can anyone provide inspiration? I'd prefer light colours as it's a small but bright room, and these tiles are very matt, so I guess the others need to be matt too. thanks :)...See MoreAwkward kitchen and bathroom layout - victorian terrace

Comments (14)When considering your upper cabinetry, it certainly looks like you would get more cupboard space by going to the ceiling. Sometimes the concern about doing this in a small space is that it could be more enclosing and visually crowd and shrink the space. A thought would be to have to the ceiling cabinets but a little slimmer so they aren't so deep that they close in the bench area. Bench space is of a premium so maybe the upper cabinets could be made bespoke so that you could have an open shelf in the corner above the microwave, not square into the corner but angled to run across that corner, so you can lift the microwave off the bench. Keeping the bench clear could also be of benefit in your new kitchen, so hanging racks for utensils and spices that are close to the wall could be worth considering. Others have suggested moving the fridge out but hmmm, not a fan of how that would go living with a kitchen half in the living area. Certainly search small kitchens for some design ideas and tips, sometimes it's amazing how well a well thought out kitchen can work in a small space with all the neccessary elements....See More

4 months agoIf the soil stack is external then you should be able to put a toilet anywhere along the wall that the soil stack is on as long as you can achieve the minimum 18mm/m slope for the branch connection required in the building regulations. Alternatively you could use a macerator toilet. When we renovated our 1930s bathroom we combined the toilet and bathroom. We moved the toilet about 4’ into the bathroom and put the shower where the toilet used to be. We bricked up the small window that used to be in the toilet room to help create the space for the shower. We were able to steal space from the landing and move the door so the bathroom is almost square, it doesn’t look like you will be able to do this, which might limit your layout options a bit.
