Best way to make use of space in Bathroom

7 years ago

We will soon be moving house and this is the main bathroom. I'm not a big fan of where the sink and toilet is... can you pout a bath/shower under the window?
is there a better way to utilise space?

Hi Jemma,

It's hard to say without seeing where the soil pipe is as the w/c would have to be moved. In theory yes the bath (subject to width of room) can go under the window allowing the w/c to be moved down and the basin can go next to it. It would be a nicer layout as you could then have a mirror above the basin.

Have a look on our website for some ideas. http://www.bubblesbathrooms.net/

Thank you, my other half seems to think you can't put a bath/shower next to a window due to the moisture??

Hi i think wall mounted sink and toilet are a good start. Also have any pipe work put under the floorboards as boxing in never really works and just collects dust. Your waste pipe can be moved but ask a plumber first. A new window with a single top opening will let in more light. And a mirror filling the whole wall above the sink between the shower and window will make your bathroom feel more spacious. And as always with bathrooms keep it simple

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?

Indeed I should specify - this is the current bathroom that will be changed entirely. The proposed tiles on floor will be light grey/greenish 120×60. Then we want to make an accent wall with the mosaic version of the same floor tiles for the wall behind bathtub. Dilemma is for the side wall - what do we do? Shall we cover it completely with same tiles of floor but cut smaller (slabs of 120×20) or we only put tiles on side of bathtub, behind shower and between double sink and mirror. If we do the last option, which colour shall we paint the rest of the wall? Bathroom vanity will be wood- colour and taps are chrome. Bathroom is big (14.5m2) and is luminous as has two windows

You are welcome. You can put the bath by the window, its just being aware that the window sill may get a little wet but as long as the tile on the bottom of the window sill is fitted at a slight angel so that the water runs back into the bath there shouldn't be a problem. Also fitting an extractor fan will help with possible moisture problems.

I have attached some renders from a recent job we have done with the bath under the window.
