Flooring Lighting

I'm creating a walk-in shower in a little & I mean tiny box room.

6 years ago

Know we want a walk-in shower, a seat/storage box, and a way of heating & lighting it. There's no room for anything else! Know we want to tile it. Would like advice about flooring & tiling, lighting and heating. Thanks

Despite the small size, with clever design it can function very well as a studio for you. Put storage shelves and drawers on one wall for all your makeup accessories and two chairs for yourself and a client on the opposite. You can change the door to a sliding one to avoid an obstacle in the limited space. If you end up not using it as a studio or bedroom don't fear opening it up to the corridor for better lighting and flow of space. You should make the space work for your needs, closing it back up in the future in case you sell is a relatively small and inexpensive job to perform.

Chris, We have the same shower tray as you (but in the 150cm format) and also exactly the same issue. I think it's a design fault as the tray is too shallow and the ridge round the edge does not contain the water. Our highly untechnical solution has been to buy shower mats which are exactly 80cm wide (from Christy on their website) and then to accept that they will get soaked and to dry them on the heated towel rail. Sorry if this is not the most sophisticated solution but it works for us. Good luck

Advice on tiny odd-shape shower room, please

Thank you both so much for your excellent suggestions. I am so heartened you think there are better configurations. Jonathan - I see that I should have given the measurement for the short wall in the corner, which is 900mm. Even though I cannot get to 1000mm x 1200mm,I think a 900mm x 1200mm shower would be a major improvement. Yes, I'd normally want to avoid opening a door straight onto a view of the loo, but I'd not rule it out to make the room better. Rinq - I've attached a plan to show the shower in more context. It really is the ultimate "add-on"! Sadly, there is no space for anything in the corridor but we do have an airing cupboard elsewhere. The shower room extension is partly below ground (with a French drain) so all the green areas below are banks sloping up from the house. This, and moving the drain outside the bedroom door, is probably why extending would cost so much. You've given me some more great ideas so I will start checking out the cost of moving the soil stack versus relocating the basin.

Hi there,

Have you got an idea of the style you would like to use in terms of lighting? Ceiling Strip Led lighting looks great in walk-in showers so that could be something you can consider. Also, an image of what the space looks like would be great. I'll love to help you choose your lighting.
