Doesn't the open design create a privacy issue with the bathroom?

8 years ago

Cathedral ceilings are fantastic space openers, but when it comes to creating rooms under a single ceiling (like this one), it becomes a challenge to create roomed under it "after the fact". This bathroom is a perfect example of the obvious trade offs....

I could have put a ceiling over the bathroom ... or simply built it as a suite to the close bedroom reserved for guests. But it's perfect for me 1;-D)))

Or you could have pushed the walls clear up to the cathedral ceiling... That could create more privacy and give the kitchen vent a place to terminate into (ie a plausible structure). In any case it's loaded with trade offs....

PS we went through the same issue with a cathedral ceiling and room wall terminations...

Lets say standard bath 1600mm - plus 1000mm shower - that leaves 230mm not 0.33mm - So in theory you would have room for the little storage area for the towels. I'd be tempted to put it between the shower and the bath as a division though. You need to ensure that the bath is also 800mm wide to match the depth of the shower. However, if there was a difference between the width of the bath and the shower, the cupboard in the middle will take your eye away from it. I think it gives better privacy for both the bath and the shower users, presuming that you may both wish to use at the same time occasionally!

I've been thinking about options to cover all basis and came up with this. To allow guests to use a bath/shower the ensuite would be shared. I added a wall in the master bedroom to divide it and add privacy so guests don't have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bath/shower. The upsides are that the ensuite is larger, includes a bath and shower and has more vanity room. Also, by diving the bedroom I can add sort of a walk-in wardrobe. The downsides are that there's only one bath/shower that has to be shared and guests have to walk through the walk-in wardrobe to get to it. Also, it reduces the size of the master bedroom but it's quite a long room anyway and it would cut out the light from the windows in the bedroom. Personally I don't see these as big problems but I guess some people won't like it. Do you think this is a good idea?

@Jaya Garella I wasn't 100% sure what you meant by 'the bras'? haha. none of the tiles on the mock up pic are anything I have specifically chosen - they are the least offensive on the app I had which is a house mock up program and not specifically for bathrooms. I would need a splashback with a sink unit though as that back sink/wc wall is just a wood frame at the moment so will need plasterboarding. Part of me wants to avoid the grey as although I love a rich grey, the rest of my house is off black by F&B so very dark and moody. In the tiles in a small room it might be a bit drab? I'm also struggling to find patterned tiles that I could put all over the bath wall and bath that wouldn't be too much ie too large a pattern or too small. I would then have to have maybe a wood effect (vinyl or tile) on the floor as I think pattern on the floor and bath panel and large wall might be too much? You don't see the bath wall when you walk in as the door opens to the left and hides it. Trying to find some industrial glam images of alternative options as I'm a bit stuck in a rut with it and my bathroom fitting team is a bit old school so not up on design! haha

Interesting room........what is this weird fashion for open plan bedrooms and bathrooms? I can see why you want to change it. I think a carpenter or builder will be able to narrow the doorway and fit a door. That bath is amazing! They cost a fortune but if you hate it then I’m sure you can sell it. A builder can also fit a ventilation fan in the bathroom for you. Good luck with it all.

I thought about that ... but I wanted to keep it all open, besides ... the bathroom is big and the toilet is hidden in a corner behind the shower, creating enough privacy for my needs ;-D)))
