Bathroom design idea

11 years ago

Hi

Any design ideas advice for my very dated bathroom, see attached images. The room is 2.3m x 1.9m, ideally was hoping to fit in quite a bit of storage space. Keeping the bath on the left as you walk in.

Thanks

Hi Glen,

I was wondering if you needed any further advice with your bathroom?

You could look into Mereway fitted furniture for extra storage.

You can also email me at bubblesbathrooms@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks

Hi Glen,

The size and shape of your space is not dissimilar to many we refurbish, and you do have pleant of options. As "bubbles" suggests, Mereway, Trend (and many others) offer ranges of standalone and built in furniture which would be ideal for your needs. Do you have a budget in mind? If so, to have some insight into that would help to advise on how to get most bang for your buck.

To give an idea of what I would recommend:

- Remove existing suite and radiator.

-Remove existing tiling, re-plasterboard and skim

-Install a "Square P" (sometimes called L shape) bath of 850 x 1700, wide end at door end of room with new screen and shower. At "window end", box in from end of bath to wall, possibly with an open shelf unit above

-replace flooring with either a good quality vinyl, palio-click or tile flooring

-at window end of bathroom, install 600 wide vanity unit with rectangular basin on top on the left (next to boxed in section) with a "concealed cistern" and back to wall WC to the right of that, filled to the boxed in section on the right - see image below (sorry it is small and grainy)

-fit a mirrored wall storage unit on the right hand wall above a modern, chrome towel rail/warmer

Wrt tiling - I would be tempted to only tile in the bath "corner" with a small splashback of tiles behind the run of furniture along the window wall

Colours and finish are always very personal, but I would be tempted by walnut and white with quite square fixtures & fittings (taps, showerhead, radiator etc.) to complement the clean lines of the furniture and bathroom.

If you are in the South Wales or Bristol area, feel free to get in touch for a chat. If you wanted me to "mock up" the above ideas in CAD, I'd be happy to do so free of charge over the weekend (a quick task!), and we could give you a feel for costs. If you wanted to order any Mereway or similar furniture, seek out a good local independent bathroom designer/supplier or we might be able to help.

Hope this gives you a few ideas!!

Hi, the flat has two bedrooms, the bathroom is in the corridor, than there is entrance door, and then a small closet with a toliet - so no chance to enlarge it. There might be an option to install a second toilet as part of one room, but this would need approval from freeholder. I don't have a floor plan, unfortunately. I'd look at changing both the sink and the bath as they are quite old.

Hi Saqib! No worries! I didn't want to misunderstand :) When I'm using Houzz with clients, I tend to search 'small bathroom' , 'compact bathroom' or 'tiny bathroom' generally. However, as when using Pinterest, use Houzz to look for inspiration rather than a 'finished look'. For example, when looking at images, don't be looking for the bathroom you want, but pick out bits that you like in each image (or skip them if you don't like anything!) and build a moodboard. Eventually, you'll be able to look at those images and see the features and design ideas you like. If you can upload dimesions - even a rough sketch - to show where doors and windows are, that may also help designers suggest ideas to you :) Hope this helps! - Adam

We are refurbishing a very similar bathroom at the moment, we have a matching layout to you and also intend to put a freestanding bath underneath our slightly off centre window. (Our window is off centre the other way to yours though, closer to the loo side). We originally looked for a slipper bath as thought that would work well with the asymmetry but couldn’t find one that was comfy for my very tall husband... I think our current plan is to put the bath symmetrically to the room and just ignore the fact it isn’t central to the window. We don’t have too much space either side of the bath (maybe 15-20 cm each side) so pushing it one way might make it look cramped at that side. I am a bit worried about how this will look with the taps though, we want wall mounted taps and of course they really ought to be central to the bath, so this will highlight the mismatch with the window centre. This thread is making me re think! Another option is to put the bath central to the window and then have a tall ladder towel rail on the wall where the extra space is - that way the towel rail plus towels use up the excess space, in a less boxy way than a shelf unit. I might do that...

Thanks for all the advice on this, though we had our bathroom redecorated about 2 months back now. Thanks.
