Help for small bathroom
Hi , I have a small bathroom that my daughter uses .It needs a new bathroom but I am struggling with design ideas as it is tiny and she needs storage ,shower,toilet and basin. Ideally she would like it modern with white tiles and a large shower head or walk in shower.Our house is grade 2 listed so I would like her to have Victorian style tiles on the floor so that it is in keeping with the rest of the house.I dont have a huge budget as I have other projects that also need to be done this year.Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you . Jilly

6 years agoHi Jilly,
Have you thought about Luxury Vinyl Tiles on the floor? They're completely waterproof & slip-resistant, and we offer a number of beautiful victorian style designs in a variety of shades.
Check out 'Check' or 'Parquet' by Neisha Crosland on our page, or if you'd prefer a smaller design, 'Lattice' by Dee Hardwicke is beautiful too. If you drop me a message, I'd be very happy to arrange for some free samples to be sent to you/your daughter.
Best wishes,
Alice

Need help with Small Bathroom please.
Comments (14)I agree, make the plans and keep them. Also, we had a slightly similar problem - we used to live in a 5-bed house but as we don't like cooking or entertaining in the kitchen, we only put a lovely, small separate kitchen (the size you'd find in a 2-bed flat). That did put families off. However, we got several offers from people without children. It went for over the asking price within a week. I think it might be a similar for you. Also, families with small children need good access to the bath + extra storage for toys and other paraphernalia so your bathroom might struggle even with a bath in....See MoreNeed bathroom designer asap - 2 small bathrooms
Comments (6)Hi Seasons! We have High Res images available so would always say contact us on info@bathroomeleven.co.uk . Just as we are featured in a few publications this year so have to be careful we don't cross over any of their articles :) If you can email us with the project images you would like to use we can let you know which of our Designers to credit alongside Bathroom Eleven. Hope that's okay! - Adam...See MoreHelp needed with small bathroom design layout
Comments (9)Query - why does the back wall of your shower have a slanted bit at the bottom? Is there something behind that, and under your storage area, that would mean you can't use all that back wall? If there's nothing there, and no problem with that corner, then: 1 - You could leave the bath where it is. Upgrade the panelling around the base and maybe put a little door in the panelling for under bath storage of cleaning stuff etc. Maybe even upgrade the bath itself too? And then move the loo to the back left corner, facing the window. Move the basin closer to the new loo position, and further away from the door, and build a low storage 'wall' all along that side wall, with the basin on it, and the loo also. The top of that new 'wall' will be a shelf for putting nice candles etc. Then, mirror all across that side wall, above the shelf, to increase the light and spaciousness. This is what we had in our tiny bathroom. It's more linear looking, with the main items on opposite sides of the room. 2 - Move the bath to horizontally across that back wall as you suggested - if space allows for the length of the bath. I think there will be enough space for a shower, even with sloping ceiling. Try standing up in the bath, and see if there is room above the tallest person's head. If you attach a pump to the shower, you will have enough power for a good shower. Maybe use mirror type tiles on the back wall above the bath to reflect light, and increase space. Move loo further into the room. Consider putting basin beside loo if there's enough room now, under the window and connecting them both, with a similar streamlined idea to above. This will square out the room a bit, leaving central space. You will also have a little space then on the left side where the sink was. Maybe a towel ladder could go there, or nice storage basket for loo rolls etc. 3 - Go and talk to Carolina in the Tubs & Tiles in Sandyford, in Dublin. She's amazing, and is a qualified architect, so she really understands space. She re-did our tiny bathroom. It looks amazing and has already won a prize! We took out the bath for a walk in shower. Which is my next suggestion to you! Even if you have small toddlers etc - you can always get a big plastic basin for baby bathing for a couple of years, and leave it in the shower. We left the sink and loo along the left side, and they're connected with the type of shelf I mentioned above. Good luck!...See MoreSmall bathroom solution needed, please help
Comments (6)Could you maybe move the ensuite shower into the master bedroom and steal a little from the study for a vanity, to give you a free standing shower in the main bathroom? you would have a bigger ensuite but might want to steal wardrobe space from bedroom 2....See More

For a victorian look with a modern touch you could combine these Laura Ashley Devonstone floor tiles (approx £28 per square metre) with these flat 300x100mm white Metro tiles along with modern fixtures.
The bevelled edge Metro tiles give a more traditional look (see bottom pics) combined with traditional looking fixtures.
As Man about the house mentioned above, if you post floor plan/measurements maybe we can help with the layout.

6 years agoi have just finished our ensuite bathroom -still waiting for shutters and bits to finish off so looking a bit bare still - but photo attached as we used Laura Ashley patterned tiles on the floor and one of the shower walls, which are quite victorian but modern and reasonably priced (also available in
a darker grey). We then used plain white tiles for the rest of the room which were only £10 sq m. The little wall shelf unit is from Graham & Green. our sink is Duravit 65cm so quite big - they do smaller sizes. sorry can't figure out how to get these photos the correct way up!!
