Bathroom design idea

8 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 Kathryn, as it is small I would consider tiling the floor with lovely patterned tiles and tiling the wall areas with large format plainer matt tiles and matching the wall colour exactly with the wall tiles. This would make the space look large and unfussy. I have recently done 3 bathrooms and have used patterned tiles in two and they get so many compliments. Very practical and forgiving too. These images don't relate directly to what you may want but do show the beauty of a statement floor with understated walls.

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

Both Hansgrohe and (Friedrich) Grohe are German companies; Friedrich was a son of Hans who went on his own in the 1930s, so they share a certain heritage. These days, Grohe is larger and no longer family owned. Both produce outside Germany as well as on their original German sites still. Both produce "basic" and "high-end" ranges. They're both regarded well back home in Germany, much of the choice is down to personal preference. Hansgrohe is on average slightly more expensive (but not on everything). They also own the Axor design brand which has a more "ecletic" selection. One can mix-and-match; in our bath (bit messy, sorry - we're using it for the washing up while waiting for the kitchen to be installed), the mixer is Grohe as is the shower wall outlet, the shower rail and head shower arm (just above the shower screen) are Hansgrohe pieces. At least the chromed finishes are very close for the two: Both can be sourced well below retail list prices - if you're prepared to wait, German online sellers for bathroom goods tend to have many-months delivery timelines. For Grohe essentials (the classical Grotherm mixers) at least, any German DIY shop stocks these at very attractive prices (the difference to the UK retail price list will pay for the ferry ticket and fuel).

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