Bathroom layout help

8 years ago

Looking to install a downstairs toilet and sink, with some storage. And also a downstairs shower. The problem is we wanted people to be able to use the toilet and sink without necessarily knowing there was a shower there, wondering if we could hide it cleverly so it's just for the occasional guest use, or family use and only we know its there. just wanted guests to look as though they were using a downstairs toilet. Please see pics - The entire area we have is 2.350 wide and 1750 the other way which would break up into 800 where the shower is and 850 the side where the toilet is left to right. Not a massive areas, so also dont want people to feel cramped.

Any other ideas on how to position items to make the best use of my space and to keep the shower out of sight. I can move any doors at this point. The outside wall is the one where the toilet currently backs onto. Also looking for something maybe a bit more modern, would probably mirror the whole of the area above the sink possibly..

The door going into the toilet is from a side corridor that leads from the kitchen to the outside and side of the house.

Thanks

Thanks for giving it some thought Johnathan. You're right I should've given a bit more information. There's currently a cupboard in the room which would've at some point housed a water tank, this is now used as an airing cupboard for all our linen and towels. However the cupboard is far too deep, you can reach the back of it and everything gets in a mess. So I want this all knocked out and a new linen cupboard to be built. My idea was to put this cupboard where one of the doors are now, that way linen can be accessed from the landing. The bathroom planner went with this idea and has actually reduced the length of the room where the toilet is by a foot. As it would be a simple case of retaining a bit of the wall to be knocked down and then putting in a stud wall to create the back of the cupboard. The soil pipe is located where the toilet is on the plan, the bathroom fitter was relaxed about moving the toilet but said it's best to keep it on an exterior wall if possible, if moving it around you also need to take into account boxing in which eats into the room.

@keiblem I'm starting to think so too! @LTS yes it is @McKiernan Architects Ltd. Thank you! I believe there is a small basin in the room with the toilet (the image was taken from the estate agents website so they must have have drawn it in). But agreed with @Carolina we would need another sink in the bathroom, as you say we should be able to fit a small one! @minnie10 yes similar idea to above, I will try this out on paper, seems like the best option. Thank you everyone!

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.
