Keeping clutter at bay and coming up with clever storage solutions can prove quite challenging in the bathroom. It's tricky (and sometimes tiring) to bring order amongst all the beauty products, shampoos, towels and hair dryers!

Need help for my Master Bathroom en-suite layout
Comments (24)Hi All - taking on board your comments I have come up with three variations. Of course would love your comments! The distance from vanity to WC in plan 1 is approx 60cm - it could be made a bit more. This falls within the guideline you posted (23inches). More space could be created by making the shower a bit narrower (shown on all 3 plans as 1m wide (39 inches). I don't think there is quite enough space to divide the room and the problem with the idea of the bath right in the middle is that on a practical basis we would have to walk around it on a daily basis to get to the shower! Could quickly get very annoying!...See MoreHow important is Bathroom Storage to you?
Comments (7)the more the merrier, I found that I can easily fit all in the vanity cupboard, but if I had a chance to play with all the fitted storage, I would fill it up too (towels, bedding, cleaning products) etc. But for the mere bathroom essentials (cosmetics, loo roll etc) the small cupboard will do. No cupboard? No problem, add rustic touch with some stylish storage boxes! http://www.cherriehub.co.uk/collections/new-arrivals/products/s-r-d-swifts-rations-vintage-storage-box?variant=1177283791...See MoreNeed help with small (only) bathroom!
Comments (29)Thanks for all the comments, they are much appreciated. I am going to try and answer everyone! I think I have a plan outined at the bottom of the following comments/replies. @clofty24 - yes a sliding door was considered but it would either take more room out of the bathroom or consist of major work outside the door. @lottie27111975 @karrrla @tryphic - walk in shower/wet room would be ideal but would require quite a lot of work and as its upstairs been advised against it. Although im getting a second opinion from a local tiler soon. @Ensign Accessories I just photographed at a bad time, most of the time its not so cluttered. However it is the only space to store a lot of the stuff, so hence the many storage options. Corner unit is a no go because the room has no available corners (shower, window, door, toilet). @Rachel FitzGerald I think the toilet needs to stay where it is due to the plumbing of the large waste pipe and the fact my walls are 1.2m thick! @baxterh the back wall doesnt go onto the landing its inside the other bedroom but replacing the wall is currently not an option. Nice idea though :-) @Sharon Boughedda The matching tiles is a good idea, I was only going to tile the shower area and paint the rest a teal colour. But the floor could defo match. I think im going for a unit top sink, but place it partly on the windowsill (which is huge) and partly on a new unit. The window is huge so adds lot of light during the day. @kittihawke I think moving the doors is unworkable unfortunately as that would make more room. i hate the floor tiles so might have to have another look at ripping them up! @jonathandb1972 the window is an original sash window and it would be criminal to block it off I feel. Plus it gives the bathroom a lot of light which helps to alleviate the size issue a bit. Velux isnt possible due to loft above. I think im going to put in 760x900 quadrant shower, with a frameless design so its less imposing. The toilet will stay where it is but with a back wall toilet onto a hidden cistern. Two 500mm cabinets next to each other one with the toilet and another with the sink on top, and worktop on top of the cabinets which goes back and over the windowsill too. The sink will then be half on the cabinet and half on the windowsill (which is big). B+Q are the only place I have found which seem to do slimline cabinets which will make it all fit. Im trying to find a bit of planning software that includes B+Q items and also allows me to include the windowsill!! The tap to the sink will be to the side of the basin so all the plumbing can be in the under cabinet....See MoreWin a hamper - vote for your favourite summer-inspired interior!
Comments (989)Voted for Floral but all of the styles are beautiful in different ways. I imagine floral style that comes with a cosy living room with lots of soft furnishings and a granite fireplace to gather around to....See More
