Please help w/ bathroom makeover!
Comments (11)I have dealt with many small bathrooms, and I know storage is a problem, but your best bet is to have nothing more than a pedestal vanity. You don't want to spend hundreds on a new piece that takes over the space. I would recommend Pinterest for some ideas on creative storage ideas for a small bathroom. You will live with this for a while, so take your time making a decision....See Morebathroom decorating help please!
Comments (34)I'd be tempted to go for a dark wooden seat to contrast with the pale decor and suite. The main thing is to make sure the seat is a perfect fit to the toilet pan so it looks really good. That could be easier said than done but an online search may help you find just what you're looking for. Argos has some brightly coloured seats in their "Colour Match" range but I'm not sure they are the right shape for your toilet. Might be worth a look though. Maybe you could accessorise towels etc to match! Angie...See MoreBathroom help please?
Comments (8)I don't think you'll be able to put a bathroom there at all. The drainage is on the wrong side of the house. ( Presuming that you want to put it in the L shape in the master bedroom?) Unless of course you have access to drains at the front of the house as well as the rear. You might however, be able to split the Master Bedroom in to two bedrooms and use bedroom 3 as the bathroom.As for moving the downstairs loo, the same applies, depends entirely on which way your joists go ( if it's floorboards ), if it's concrete, you'd have to dig out to get to the manhole, which is out the back on the right. You could possibly put a macerating toilet in, but you'd have to get a builder round to see about the drop required....See MoreFamily bathroom layout Help please!
Comments (3)The crucial thing with moving a toilet - on a practical level - is understanding where the soil pipe is. If it's currently behind the existing loo, you'll have a lot of ugly boxing to hide the pipe if the loo is in the bay window. On an aesthetic level, I have to say I think it would look odd, and it would be very much the first thing you see when you open the door. Positioning something in a bay window conveys a sense of importance to it, so I think it will look like the toilet is your most treasured thing in the room :) I think in your shoes I would move the toilet 90 degrees so it's on the side wall, and install a single, beautiful sink unit in place of the existing one. The bathroom isn't huge so I think you need to question how often you would genuinely use a double sink - would you really ever have two people in there at once? Double sinks are lovely and we are all hankering after them because you see so many stylish pictures of them (I think they appeal to a human need for symmetry!) - but the greatest luxury you can have is a sense of space, and I think the room would feel cramped if you try to squeeze one in. Better to spend your budget on a single beautiful sink, create symmetry with wall lights around the mirror, and position a huge houseplant in the bay window (get rid of the bidet first, obviously!). You could consider moving the loo to where the sink currently is, changing the way the door opens to the other side - so the loo would effectively be hidden when you open the door. The boxing would sit more comfortably on that side. Not sure if there is room for the loo with enough space in front of it there though, so you'd need to check that out with accurate measurements....See More- 10 years ago
