What's the smallest ensuite I can get away with

7 years ago

Hi all,

I am currently renovating and we are onto the ensuite which is an extension. Our current measurement is 2250 x 1600. My hubby wants to cut the ensuite down even more to have more room for the master bedroom but I'm not sure. The bathroom needs to fit a shower with a tray and a toilet and a vanity unit.

So we can maybe cut our space down to 2250 x 1300, I am thinking of replacing the vanity unit and having a shelf made so I can put a sink bowl on top of it with wall mounted taps. The only down side is I would have no storage.

/any ideas ?

As per the above, it depends on the layout. The most space-efficient en-suite will have the door central, with the shower to one side, the toilet on the other and the basin immediately in front.

Depends on the layout. A narrow ensuite can be 2250 x 800. But for you to go to all that work and gain just 300mm seems pointless. That will be hardly any space at all.

cheers Robert Way Designers. I had considered making a feature which would conceal the waste as it has to run above the joists for a section unfortunately. i'd also like to include some concealed lighting - any advice on what to look for that's suitable for a wetroom/bathroom environment please?

I understand what you are saying! :) It's resistant to mould and cracking so no worries there either. Microcement is trowelled on at a thickness of 3mm and depending on the technique applied it has effects resembling marble, stone, metal and even rust! Almost any substrate can be coated with microcement so you can have bespoke units or even furniture fabricated and then coated. Cost is comparable to a good quality tile once labour, adhesive and grout is factored in.

I agree that it is unusual now to find a new house without one but I think if you have space to put an extra shower room elsewhere so that you still have more than one then it should be okay. Ideally somewhere not far from the master bedroom. Also like the suggestion for you to put in all of the pipe work etc so that it can easily be added later. If you dont get round to it upon resale then atleast there is less work for a buyer.

Obscure glass on a front en-suite

I understand your dilemma. My main bathroom window is at the front of the house, right in the middle and it is a big 3 section window. We are planning to change all the windows but can’t decide what to do with this one. At the moment we have pattered obscure glass and in my opinion it looks awful. Perhaps frosted glass would look better? Looking forward to see what you go for

As oasis said - you get the layout right and the depth of the shower room is then dictated by the shower tray.
I think you gain very little by the shelf idea so I say get a great vanity.
You could make the space feel bigger with mirror and a pocket door would also help.

Hi, depending on the layout, 1.5 * 2 could work quite well and offer just enough space for an ensuite to fit a shower 800*100, a toilet and a decent sized Vanity.

1.4*1.8 for the measurements in stead off what's mentioned above. But like it's been mentioned above, is it really worth making the bathroom space smaller for that small space.
