Bathroom tiles dilemma -
Comments (3)Hi there, What kind of style are you decorating the spaces in - traditional, contemporary, a mix of the two etc? Here are some bright cloakrooms in various styles, tiled and non-tiled, for potential inspiration: If there is no natural light source, whites/neutral colours and spotlights, and light creating tricks like mirrors work well. Adding plants also makes window-less spaces feel less oppressive! Hopefully this has been of some use :)...See MoreBathroom re-design dilemma
Comments (3)Hi Denisa, I'm an architect and run a practice in London. I don't think you should rearrange the sanitary ware or fill in the window. Here's why: - The current configuration can work and will save time and money by keeping the plumbing in the same locations. - Getting rid of a window will reduce the amount of light and I think you have other options for storage. As well as your other suggestions, I attach a sketch of what I think you should do: - Move boiler to other location. - Knock down all partitions and remove doors. Retain part of the partition between the stair and current boiler / proposed shower. - Behind the door to the bathroom you could have a large cupboard [marked 'store' on the sketch]. Doing this will create a much larger bathroom without costly reconfiguration of plumbing. If a shower is a tight squeeze, you can get smaller baths... Hope that helps.

Comments (12)few ideas depending on whether or not the bottom of your window opens - or if it just opens from the top (above the handle) ? .... 1) suspended mirror ie one that hangs from a rod at the top of the window and hangs down. You can either have a loose fix one (hanging) or one that has a rod at the bottom as well to keep it sturdy. Hanging one would mean you could unhook it whenever you need full access to the window though. 2) sliding mirror. Rail going across the window alcove under the opener and the mirror frame sits on that and slides (like a mirrored cabinet in effect). Bit harder to make/find but could be used like a cabinet as it would hide some products on the shelf behind it. 3) Get a heavy duty extending arm like the small mirror you currently have already, but fix a larger mirror to it. Doesn't need to be massive...See MoreNarrow bathroom dilemma
Comments (16)Thanks, Andrew. The layout in the CAD render I sent should work for you. I would urge caution with some of the other options proposed which move the WC - you just need to take care with adding too much distance & too many bends to your soil pipe. Another option is to move the basin closer to the door and have a large wetroom area beyond it which includes the WC - a bit like CreatePerfect proposed, but without changing the window, and with the WC in the “wet” area. It can either be close coupled, or a false wall (or half wall) added and a hidden cistern, with the wall fully tiled. I would then keep the shower itself further away from the WC. Personally, I prefer the first option shown, albeit a little unusual- but your space does not make an “elegant” solution easy!...See Moreanne dee
