Small Bathroom help

I have a very small Bathroom which is further restricted by a large window and bulkhead.
I have 2 designs. Design 1 is same as we now have but would include furniture with sink and a large mirror/cupboard.
Design 2 means there is no mirror above sink as it would be under window.
Our builder has suggested blocking window in bathroom putting up large mirror, and have light/ fan come on when door opens (hotel style)
The window permanently has blind closed as it’s at front of house.
I have included photos, please help

Small bathroom and small ensuite or large bathroom?
Comments (3)From what your describing we had the same thing going on,I didn't like the ensuite( too small) and the bathroom needed to be bigger,so we got rid of the ensuite and put a door between our bedroom and bathroom like a jack and Jill.After a while I felt it just didn't work so we closed up the wall and we now have one big bathroom.im glad we did it now. I too wondered if it would devalue the house and I'm sure if a larger family moved in it could be a bit of a problem,maybe someone from the real estate world will pop in and give you some advice. Good luck with whatever way you choose to go....See MoreSmall bathroom help
Comments (1)Something like this could work but it's not ideal, assuming you can tuck the pipes inside the wall without building up. Cleaning after shower will be inevitable, but a squeegee could do the trick. The bath tub is a 1500x700 - it doesnt have to be free standing though For products try victorian plumbing, good place for products and some inspiration...See MoreSmall bathroom layout, help!
Comments (19)@keiblem I'm starting to think so too! @LTS yes it is @McKiernan Architects Ltd. Thank you! I believe there is a small basin in the room with the toilet (the image was taken from the estate agents website so they must have have drawn it in). But agreed with @Carolina we would need another sink in the bathroom, as you say we should be able to fit a small one! @minnie10 yes similar idea to above, I will try this out on paper, seems like the best option. Thank you everyone!...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 More

5 years agoHow about having something like this picture? Even if the stile isn’t perhaps your cup of tea, you can find billions of photos on google of mirrors fitted in front of a window. It would still allow part of the light in, and depending on how it’s fitted you may still be able to fully open the window. It’s a bit unusual, granted, but that might not be a bad thing?
Anyway, Good luck with your choice!
