En-Suite sizing/layout help
So as we don’t have head height issue in the current space (see photos of existing room) I thought we could put a roof light in instead and have a 800x800 shower where that grey cupboard is (or offset so 800 wide but longer to the right side??) then a wc and sink.
What do you guys think?? Will it be super cramped for an en-suite??

5 years agoWhat’s happening on the opposite ‘wall’? Could you fit something like this? Some kind of suspended mirror is what l mean.

Comments (8)Hi quick sketch attached which hopefully will get you thinking on non standard options to avail of the triple aspect and views. The bed is centred on the West facing window, so even though there isn't symmetry in the rest of the room, balance is created, focused on the bed. I've shown a freestanding headboard behind the bed - something along these lines....there are design options available which means no need for a bedside locker to the side. I've stolen a small amount of space from the adjacent bedroom (sorry kids!) & pushed the entrance door back into the hall slightly. There is no door to ensuite, but the curved wall which becomes part of the shower creates an entrance & cuts of what you don't want to see (the wc) but allows light in, views out to and from the North. This curve also creates a natural line to change floor covering - say from carpet to tile. Theres approx 5m of wardrobe tucked under the eaves with curved ends (if budget will allow!) and also His & Hers drawer sets either side of entrance door....See MoreWet room en suite layout advice
Comments (2)Hi Matt, sounds like you have enough space and it’s always a good idea to have a bath and a shower if you can fit both. Our advice is to keep everything concentrated on the left side. Please see a quick sketch we have made for you to demonstrate how the layout could work. We would be happy to help you out further with your free personalised bathroom design, supply of sanitary ware and tiles and the installation of your new bathroom. Just get in touch and we can organise a professional survey for you to discuss the design further....See MoreSmall en-suite - best layout
Comments (17)Hi I think you have chosen the best and really only layout for this space. My suggestions are to look at ways to make this space the most comfortable you can, think about a minimal shallow shower tray so there isn't a big step, with the shower screen door opening into the shower and a small wall hung vanity so you have more floor space. Think about the WC position, when you sit on the WC your knees don't want to bang on the sink so I think you have to keep it fairly central on the back wall. You can get space saving short projection WC's like the Villeroy and Boch O.novo. It looks like you have a window on that wall so making sure the WC fits under that and so on will make the space look fabulous and perfectly formed!...See MoreSmall en-suite layout help
Comments (6)Thanks for the comments. The bathroom is next door so we can feed into the soil pipe there. The wall where toilet and sink are in the plan above is an outside wall. I don’t think there’s really much else we can do given where it is in the room etc. I’ve attached a plan of the upstairs - you can see the bedroom (with previous small shower and sink. I am aware of not having enough space for knees which is why I think we need to go for a 700 x 900 shower tray and a short projection toilet to give us those few extra mm. I think Sarah’s plan would work? We’re going to draw out some stuff on the floor in there today now that it’s all ripped out and use a chair for a toilet to visualise it!...See More

5 years agoSorry to jump in late Tani, the project looks really interesting and i've noticed you've been looking into installing a roof window to really bring light into the room. We've recently wrote a guide about roof windows and rooflights, and wondered if it may give you some help about which type of product is best to choose for what you're trying to achieve. I've put the link below, it might help you to better visualise and understand the options available to you. I've also included an image of something which will really help bring through the light into your bathroom.

5 years agodone a quick image of it BUT please bear in mind that the roof starts sloping to the left dramatically from the left side of the shower. So the only full wall is the right of the shower where the sink now has to go....
You can see the corner and access issue I have with the shower.

And 500mm should be more than enough entry space.

5 years agoOkay, so I just tried out if what I meant could work, and this is what I came up with. I wanted to show you, just to give you something to think about perhaps. Not sure how to fill the space between shower and toilet, but there we are :-)
Anyway, I did it just for me, to check if I wasn't crazy ;-)

5 years agoThank you.
Well as they widened the side, the wc will have about 800mm or more space and the door is now more central so when you walk into the room, the sink on the right won’t be in the way.
The shower will probably have inward bifolds so we can put the sink quite near it and it won’t get wet.
Like this- (can’t really draw the slope on the pic to show it properly)
If we put the sink on the left now as on your drawing, you would have to sit down to use it as the wall is too low.

5 years agoJust thought I would update my post as the en suite is *almost finished. Only take 6 months (rolls eyes) and still a bit of cladding above the WC to finish and on the sink unit (same walnut cladding on the front) and of course I have to have a shower screen designed as it won’t take a standard shower door. Such fun.
Will take some other angle pics over the weekend once it’s all tidied up and cleaned.
Just struggling now with storage!! Only got a shallow space under the sink (25cm deep- 26cm at most) to put some drawers but I can’t find any.
Got space on the wc side for a little bench seat with storage under so trying to work out the best colour/style that’s not too twee.

5 years agoHi Tani. I’ve been following your design dilemmas with interest. I have this narrow drawer unit which is due for a dark makeover and it is incredible what you can fit into it. Alternatively tall glass medicine cabinet would look good but of course everything in it would have to be lovely which is unlikely in a bathroom.

5 years agoSo nice to see that you’ve sorted it all out so successfully!
Could you use the door and the space above it for storage - to avoid cluttering up the floor area.
