Design help re super tiny bathroom
Hi,
I'm planning to renovate my tiny bathroom and would love to pick the brains of fellow Houzz lurkers. It's currently a wet bathroom with toilet and sink but I'd like to add a bath as there isn't one at the moment (my home is a 3 bed Edwardian semi-D). I think I'd be able to go for the 160cm bath with a wall hung toilet and sink to give the illusion of space. Do you think it would work? See attached plan for dimensions. How else could I do it? Thanks for your help.

Re-design of small bathroom
Comments (7)Hi Sue. Your question caught my eye because, here at Big Bathroom Shop, we often receive enquiries regarding how to make the most of bathroom space. Not surprising considering that the UK has some of the smallest living spaces in all the Europe! So, I decided to have our specialist bathroom design team look at your sketch, and following are a few idea's we think might be helpful. First of all, as has been mentioned, you will really need to move your door- if it is a stud wall, this won't be too big a job. You could move the door left or right. Let's assume you move it to the right; next to the cloakroom door. That would mean you could then place the bath along the left hand wall. You would really need to think about buying a smaller basin and there are a range of options available to you here. You could consider a compact vanity, which will also provide what may prove to be some much needed storage space. Or you could consider a corner basin or, simply, a small wall mounted basic. All of these options free up a good amount of space. This would leave you plenty of room to install a walk in shower; 800 or possibly even 900mm. You might also want to install a small basin in the adjoining cloackroom. Something to bear in mind, and a favourite saying of our resident expert, Stephen, is that you "aren't having a party in there!" At the end of the day, the amount of floor space that you need to have available is just enough to swing a towel about your shoulders. With this in mind you can work wonders, even in the smallest of spaces. I have provided a couple of links below to some of our compact bathrooms, and to a blog post (Stephen's actual downstairs bathroom) which should help. I hope this is useful and I will keep an eye out for any progress. Best of luck. Ian Compact Bathroom Blog Vanity Units Basins & Corner Basins...See MoreNeed help designing this bathroom
Comments (21)Hello Yan, wanted to show you an idea of colour scheme for your bathroom. I decided to keep up with your layout idea and I noticed you like grey and wood in interior. In addition, SA contemporary style isn't much about colours but more about textures to keep interior simple and rich. In general, interior is neutral with couple of small colour accents, which can be easily updated or changed in time. There is no drama that sink in front of window! Moreover it gives fantastic advantages to use natural light. You can hang oval mirror at the window frame. In the evening hours, you can use illumination from wall light above window. Flooring is grey brushed concrete tiles with soft matt texture. Wood like porcelain tiles use for walls from the left and right, including curves. That's how you unite broken wall on a left and make it longer and identical. Tiles for walls around window and the opposite side ( including all curves and around door) should be the same - light grey with stone like texture. Grey tone on walls is lighter than on a floor. Here are screen shots (everything is in scale, actual bathroom size): I hope concept is easy to understand, let me know if you have any questions....See MoreNeed bathroom designer asap - 2 small bathrooms

Comments (3)I think if you put a back to the wall toilet in and build a false wall out by 200mm in which to fit niches, you can hide your pipework and have somewhere to put shampoos etc whilst in the shower. I also think that you can fit in an offset shower tray 800 x 1000mm and a vanity of 600mm. That takes all of your room up across the back, but gives you a super shower area, with room to step out in to a big enough space in front of the toilet and towards the door. This shows the 200mm wall by the back to the wall toilet. You could start the first niche at the same height, but what i mean is, go right to the ceiling constructing something like this one. That's my shower.................and,. although you won't have a walk in like that, you can then put your shower, like this one up to the wall. Shown with actual size objects as above. Then you can fit in a full size Vanity like this one. Please note that you may also want a radiator, but there are some quite slimline ones available these days, and as your door opens outwards, there is room for one on the right as you step through....See More

You need to check re soil pipe - my opinion is that it is best to keep the WC as close to the soil pipe as possible to avoid unnecessary problems. You may want to opt for a free standing bath which would add glamour to the room - you can find various sizes (see link below just for an idea)https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/1650-x-750-luxury-modern-double-ended-curved-freestanding-bath
Or Back to wall 1500x750 https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/orion-1500-x-750mm-small-back-to-wall-modern-square-bath?campaign=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqIDjyp7Z3gIVVOJ3Ch1BiQfcEAQYBCABEgLdzfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
An Offset bath may allow some more flexiblity in the room as the space is rather tight. See https://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/carron-quantum-spacesaver-offset-bath-1700mm-750mm-left-handed-5mm-acrylic-q4-02179?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Shopping&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwerA-Z_Z3gIVyeR3Ch0ZdQQSEAQYBSABEgKlufD_BwEand
A Slimline vanity or floating shelf with a narrow but long basin could be an option https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/valencia-995mm-black-ash-wall-hung-basin-unit?campaign=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwb6Fn6PZ3gIVWOJ3Ch0mGwqEEAQYAiABEgIJa_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
You have to find a compact wall hung WC to ensure that there's as much room as possible.
I have done two sketches - and have specifically kept away from putting the bath under the window due to soil pipe.
I have proposed that you open the door outwards or maybe consider changing to a folding door as per images below

5 years agoI don't think Design Angels plan will work, as you need to keep the soil pipe where it is, or as close as possible.
To give the most floorspace possible. I would go with a 700mm x 1700mm slimline bath, such as this one from Victorian plumbing
LInk to bath on Victorian Plumbing.
I'd then go for a 900mm wide Vanity with toilet in the middle. If you place the toilet in the middle and the sink on the left, you should have enough wall above the basin for a mirror, ( hopefully ).The shower then goes over the bath on the far wall and thus as you walk in, you have the illusion of space.
If you tile the floor and the walls in pale neutral tones , or use the same tiles for floor and walls, it will also add to the feeling of space.
You may need to have the shower at the other end of the bath due to the window, but that's easy enough.

2 years agoThis was the look we went for in the end. In hindsight we should have gone for a wall-hung toilet but we were conscious of keeping costs down.
