Please help me with my tiny bathroom!
Hi hope you can help! We recently bought a house that needs loads of work, and it's pretty overwhelming but we're starting with the main bathroom. It's quite small and I've attached pictures of the current layout.
We know what we want, but struggling to visualise it and imagine it all fitting in!
Please could I get some advice on suggested layouts, and any advice on brands we should be looking at?
We know we would like:
- L shaped shower bath with screen. Shower to have a hand held head and a fitted rain shower head
- Sink with vanity unit and mirror over (therefore we can't keep the sink where it is because of the window)
- Heated towel rail
- Light grey wall tiles, with darker grey floor tiles. Quite large to make it look bigger.
- Vertical mosaic behind shower
- Alcove shelf around the bath area somewhere
Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I've attached a floor plan with measurements but for ease:
- 2180mm x 1670mm

Tiny bathroom design - Help!
Comments (21)I would still suggest tanking/waterproofing the room prior to the installation of a standard shower tray or bath. Waterproofing membranes with the European Technical Approval will withstand normal movement within a house but the flooring and walls need to be of sound construction - a wetroom can be properly fitted in age of building. These principles apply to a standard tray or bath as the silicone beading around the edge may fail (from movement/age) and let wall bypass the tray, causing damage to the building underneath. This picture was taking after a bath with wall mounted shower was removed. The silicone had failed causing the wood to rot. This was all replaced and the below was created in its place: A bath will be easier for people with young children and if you plan to sell on, a wetroom will appeal to some where a bath will appeal more to others. Which ever path you choose (both your designs look nice) I would recommend waterproofing the room before it is installed.

Comments (6)Thank you all for the advice. I clearly had gone mad thinking wallpaper might fix things, but I really like the suggestions to paint the walls a darker colour. I love the dark grey/inky colours mentioned, so will investigate. Jen - I’m hoping the accessories will go some way to livening it up. I was thinking of staying with quite a muted palette, do you think that works or should I go for colour? John - you’ve hit the nail on the head, it is the expanse of white that is offputting. It gives it a seedy holiday inn feel, but I hadn’t been able to put my finger on why until now. Chloe - thank you, you’ve made me feel like it’s not all gone horribly wrong..!

Comments (10)I've been waiting for someone to ask me this :-) I think your first idea is a good one. You could go one of two routes: 1. part tile in white satin ceramic and edge with chrome or satin strip or a pencil tile - something from Original Style Glassworks range would look great but they are pricey- then paint two walls in a strong but not saturated blue toned grey: something like F&B Hardwick White or Little Greene's Urbane Grey and Inox - if possible get two shades on the walls. For the floor I would go with a grey and white lino check and accessorise as you've suggested - I would steer clear of anything orange that is going to accentuate the orange tone in the suite but ochre tones would work, for example macrame plant hangers. I would stick to chrome and satin nickel. Choose an off white for any woodwork - Flake White has a very slight hint of brown which would balance the champagne without you being conscious of it. 2. Again use white satin tiles and edge with chrome or satin nickel strip or a glass pencil tile but this time "lose" the champagne tone among other neutrals as you've suggested: from the Fired Earth colour card, shades like Canvas, White Ochre, Old White, Papyrus and again Flake white would work well. Again a grey and white check would work for the floor or even this wood effect, which picks up the brown tones. Accessorise with dark blue/grey accents and plenty of greenery. I always advise use of a sample board. Play about with paint samples. We sell painted A4 sheets for £1 each plus postage - cheaper than tester pots and more effective. If the different elements work together on the board, they will work in the room. Alternatively we offer sample boards to buy or hire - £30 or £15 respectively. Each board includes a range of compatible samples which you then pick and mix, eliminating what you don't like until you arrive at the scheme you want. Good luck!...See MorePlease help with the layout of my family bathroom.
Comments (0)I want to removate my tiny family bathroom. I appreciate if you can give some advice. I love minimal look. I want a bright and spacious look bathroom but cannot compromise with bath and separte walk-in shower, wall hung toilet and wall hung basin, full tile and lots of storage. Any idea would be appreciated. I want to move the door outwards but then it bocks the window of the landing - any suggestions? What size walk-in shower should I have and what size bath should I have, and where they should locate? (soil stack is (approx 30*35cm) will be reduced but not sure how much can be reduced)...See MoreFiona O'Grady
