Best way to make use of space in Bathroom

8 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 Quackers, I am working on a design for a family where they are converting a bedroom into a bathroom, and reconfiguring their current bathroom into a ensuite. I wrote a blog about some of the hidden costs which you might find interesting to read as you consider these changes. https://www.myclaybrickhome.com/post/top-money-saving-tips-bathroom If you find this useful and want to reach out for some design help please use the contact section on the website, or you can find me on houzz here https://www.houzz.co.uk/pro/webuser-531145241/my-claybrick-home Rgds Vicky

I'd make one big bathroom but have a door into it from your bedroom as well as from the hall - so it's an ensuite most of the time, but guest access from hall when necessary. Agree with above to make a lovely bedroom and bathroom for yourselves and share with guests - who will also appreciate a lovely bathroom rather than a small internal one. And from your two-bath solution - the main reason for me to want an ensuite is to have easy access to the toilet from bedroom during the night, so having the toilet separate from both bathrooms (and especially far from the ensuite) makes no sense to me at all. While Jonathan's idea works better if you want two smaller bathrooms, I'd rather have one big bathroom and no ensuite than a tiny ensuite.

To move the bathroom would be too expensive. our budget is about 35-40k as its only a an end terrace with a drive for one car so to spend more we would never see the return. All we need to try and do is maximize what we have. Its more the layout of the kitchen I'm after ideas for :)

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.
