What do you think of open plan bathrooms?
Comments (65)I'm looking to renovate the ensuite of my 2 bed flat and came across photos of open plan bathrooms. Some of the photos look great and I'm considering it as I don't have much room to work with in the bathroom and my bedroom has room I can use. I'm looking at moving the basin into the bedroom area, which would free up space for a bath and shower. I was thinking of making the basin look less bathroom-y and more like a makeup desk using wood and soft furnishing and a full length mirror. The rest of the bathroom would be behind a wall (no door). Main problem is that the door to the bedroom will open to the the basin (the rest of the bedroom is on the left), which I guess would put people off. I quite like the idea but I'm concerned it would put off potential buyers (more so after reading the comments). Should I stick with a traditional ensuite? I can put a bath and shower in there but I think it would be too cramped or I can loose the bath and have more room with just a shower. What do you think?...See MoreSide building design dilemma
Comments (18)I would loose the doors to the side- you won't enjoy the best view, don't need the light but could do with the wall space. I also think the double sided fireplace is a choice for you not future buyers as it limits the wall space and use of the side room (which is fine). Personally I don't think you gain much by making it a dining room next to your current dining space. But I do think reclaiming an underused room and it having lots of possible uses is a brilliant plan. I think when you get the builders in you should either put a porch on the side (and make it big enough to also be a laundry room). Alternatively make the whole room longer by extending a few feet into the back garden so that there is room for both a shower room and a laundry and then move the side door to the back giving more privacy to the bonus room at the front....See MoreHelp! Can we fit a bath AND shower in our tiny bathroom?
Comments (7)Dear Charlotte, the best option to buy shower pan and rail with a curtains , or to build one, instead of the bathtub. Here just examples , what to look for. The shower head it in the highest position now, its means if we take bath out we have more height to the floor. I have same made at home if you be interested I will add my shower pictures. Here last one is example, easy to build separation wall somewhere 3-5 cm, with a good drainage and no problem water from shower moves fast. The best wishes ....See MoreSqueezing separate bath and shower into small bathroom
Comments (23)This is an intriguing problem ! In your original plan, is it the case that the wall end of the bath is wider than the toilet end, or is that just the way the perspective works here ? If so, that is one of the things making the layout looked cramped and 'weird'. How deep a step did you have in mind ? That, too, could make a difference. The problem with steps in bathrooms (those that are designed for 'real' everyday living, not just for a magazine spread) is that they can get wet, and hence slippery - an accident waiting to happen. Careful choice of flooring might help minimise that. Something rubbery, or like hospital bathroom floors. Japanese tubs have been mentioned. I believe there are also 'small' toilets available, and space-saving sinks, for very small spaces, understairs cloakrooms etc...), though I think there's enough room there in the design. (And for the main bathroom, you do need a decent sized sink.) The screens you describe: I would definitely go for a fixed, clear glass one near the towel rail, simply for letting light through, and not feeling further cramped. Alongside the toilet, it might be better to opt for a half-wall screen (illustrated above in Jane's comments) - again, on grounds of not feeling cramped, but also letting maximum light in - you could adorn it with wood battens if you like. How young is the daughter ? How much longer is she going to need bathing as opposed to showering ? Could you have all that room devoted to a large shower enclosure, and keep something temporary to one side (like the old bathtubs hanging on the wall !!), which you could move across to nearer the shower for filling purposes. Once she's old enough, you can dispense with the moveable tub....See Moreminipie
