Big bathroom, need INTERESTING ideas!
Hi, just moved into a Victorian property and the bathroom is huge - 4.25mx2.7m - well, huge by our standards, anyway!
Sorry for terrible photos, took them with my computer from PhotoBooth and they're bad quality AND in reverse - the loo is on the right as you walk towards the window, the shower is on the left of the bath.
The big cupboard on right as you walk in can stay or go but there's a chimney breast that's staying (103x36cm, 90cm in from the door on your left as you walk in).
Here's the basic layout without cupboards but showing the dimensions of the room, the window at the back and the chimney breast (not window but there was no design tool for chimney breast) on the left hand side. The chimney breast has been blocked off but there is potential to re-establish it ...

Loft Conversions - interesting ideas?
Comments (3)It entirely depends on your roof height, most modern houses do not have the height for a loft conversion. Therefore you have to start there as there are building regs which dictate minimum height requirements. Thus before you go down the route of ideas, find out how high the pitch is, if you need to raise the roof, you're into big bucks!. Then you need to look at the layout of the floor beneath and decide where stairs can go, clearly you need to get into the roof space at the highest point, usually a gable end. If it's possible to gain access with a staircase, this will then dictate the layout in the loft. Thus, you need to post a lot of plans and measurements before anybody can really help you x...See MoreHow can I make this bathroom interesting?
Comments (6)Hi Karl, not sure if still looking for inspiration, but I notice your shower screen right next to the sink which can create another barrier. Please do check out my shower blinds which are installed onto the ceiling, creating more space, future proofing bathrooms for easy updates/renovations and no mould or mildew....See MoreNeed bathroom designer asap - 2 small bathrooms

Comments (1)Chris. I think your tiles are a really nice choice and they will give you the classy feel that you want. Either format will be fine but the rectangular tiles fitted vertically will give the impression of greater height to the room. Clearly it’s a matter of personal choice but I think that the dark grey accents cheapen the class of the tiles and bring the room in. If you wanted to go for a contrast, maybe the vanity unit in a dark wood effect would look more classy. My other thought is that the room is maybe not big enough for the shower set up as you have it here. I think that water will splash beyond the screen and in front of the toilet. My thoughts are keep the open shower screen but go with a plain white porcelain shower tray with a slightly raised lip or keep the flooring consistent and opt for a frameless glass door which will keep the water in. Could be just me but I like to splash a bit in the shower and I think you’ll end up with water in front of your loo. Best of luck with the renovation. It’s going to look great....See MoreAlex Andra

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHello Alex, Yes Minnie and Node has suggested the one thing I was going to suggest as a start.. reinstate the fireplace. Remove the cupboard in favour a sleek shower area to the left of the door.. Re situate the rad under the window on shorter pipes.... shift the loo and sink along have a free standing bath like this.. Not right under the window but that area.. . : ))
Don't take notice of the paper it's ghastly or the mirror.. but the bath is pretty cool and fit for two! nice little tables.. Lovely door and painted floorboards.. I do like towel ladders.. It gives you a modern twist along with the open shower..
The shower can have a raised floor section with tiles to match the wall or rectangular tray and a frameless glass panel.. Sleek, stylish and minimal. It will create the idea of an open space, as you walk in to the bathroom.... Matched with Victorian elements like an old style bath and fireplace.. lovely!! : ))

8 years agoHi Alex. I'm not sure where you could buy one but would try a window company, there are a few around that do crittall style but not with the same price tag. I have other pics but can't load them! I haven't used brick slips but they seem to have very good reviews.just obviously don't use them in the shower area
