Bathroom layout help!
We need to find a new layout solution to maximise the space in our bathroom.
*the window is on the north wall (115cm from floor and 94cm H).
*the intrusion into the south east corner is a raised step 600mm H and for 530mm from its north edge, south of that is the wall.
We're after 1. a bath big enough to bathe 2 kids + for us to stand in for shower; toilet; basin; ideally a heated towel rail.
ideas?

7 years agoI would have thought you'd get away with a 1500 deep bath (needs must!) under the window - we've got a 1600 one and it's more than ample. I've sketched my suggestion which I hope is some help.

Reinstating original bathroom layout help needed
Comments (5)It used to be a bathroom and separate toilet (as the second plan which is the house next door and has the original layout) and I want to put it back to how it was. It is not going to be a bedroom. I cannot put in a toilet downstairs as there is not room. There is a cupboard but it is the only storage in the house so I cannot get rid of it and it opens into the reception room anyway....See MoreBathroom layout help
Comments (9)I don't think you have the room for an oblong shower. It leaves you with only a 60cm gap to put the vanity. The toilet looks weird if you don't put it in the middle of the window too. Although, if you do put it in the middle of the window, you may have room for a little more storage on the right hand wall as you walk in . The vanity in your plan would have to go right up to the glass of the shower, as the bath will unlikely to be no less than 700 wide. 700 plus 600 for the vanity and 800 for the shower is 2100mm ( your total ) I think you can improve on this layout. You can get baths with storage underneath. I'd change the shower for an offset quadrant at 800 x 1200mm. I'd move the Vanity and Toilet to the right hand wall and have a combination vanity / toilet. You can then fit extra storage in to the gap between the shower and the boiler without making it look cramped....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 MoreBathroom Layout Help
Comments (1)My bathroom is slightly smaller, with a depth of about 170cm, and a width of 180/220. At the beginning it was the usual bathroom with a bath, basin, and WC, but we traded the bath for a shower, and we stole some space from the adjacent room to make space for a bidet (we're the stereotypical Italians ;)) it feels much more spacious than its size... Here's the result...See More

7 years agowhere is your toilet waste pipe. that is usually quite difficult to move. You could look at some space saving bathtubs:

7 years agolast modified: 7 years agoUsing your dimensions and the actual sizes of the products, the only way that i can fit everything in is to do this. It involves making the window smaller and changing the way the door hangs. ( the idea above is great, but when you try putting the products in, you quickly realise that they don't fit )
This is done using this bath:- better bathrooms
You don't say what is at the bottom of the plan, and, why there is a corner missing. Maybe you could gain the corner back?
You can also go for this bath which is only 800mm at the window end, bows out slightly which i think should be ok:- p shaped bath, it then gives you more scope for walking about and a larger window
Maybe you could add a corner window, which would be quite attractive and add to the overall look of space?

7 years agoOf course, you could always pop a freestanding tub under the window and turn the alcove into a shower.. another sketch attached...
