Small bathroom renovation...do we have the correct design!?
Comments (15)I have my washing machine in a cupboard in my bathroom and in your new proposed plan I don’t think you’ll potentially have enough space to comfortably load the washing machine front on without banging yourself on the sink. The original position of the cupboard I think is better (I have mine in a similar position in relation to bathroom door etc) also which way is your washing machine door hinged? If it’s hinged on the left like mine you’ll have even less room to load in the new proposed position. Try to hinge the cupboard door the same side as the washing machine too. Jonathan’s plan looks like a good plan to me and I’d have proposed similar :)...See MoreFamily bathroom ideas needed - 2,4 m by 2.3 m
Comments (7)Hi Matt, I've come up with a couple of options for you. I played around with a small shower and a bath but it was getting quite crammed in there. I also took into consideration that you have a young family and that they will probably need more baths at this point in their lives than showers. Also considered that you would probably need space for them and you/their mum to get them in and out of the bath. The average size for a combined shower/bath is 1700mm x 850mm I've scaled the bath to this measurement to show you how much space the bath will take up. For option 1, you can place your bath tub in the corner against the wall, depends on where your window is (as I didn't have this information I guessed and created two options for you). You could then have a large space in the centre for getting around easily and a stool in the corner. The radiator will go on the left wall or wherever there is a gap in the wall. For option 2, again totally guessing that there could be a window in the wall opposite the door, I've moved around all the white goods, with still plenty of space in the centre. Either way there is tonnes of space to get a combined shower/bath along with everything else. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions?

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 MoreLarge bathroom vs small bathrooms / ensuite
Comments (7)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....See MoreSeasons in Colour
