Need bathroom inspirations for compact bathroom
Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See MoreVOTE: Home Technology: Kitchen or Bathroom?
Comments (10)It seems that most people are keen for home technology in their kitchen/diner over the bathroom. It makes sense to start with the room that you use the most when planning the addition of technology solutions and radiate out from there. Although we love your thinking Matthew - cinema room first... You might like this one: Home Cinema...See MoreWhere to put additional bathroom(s)
Comments (4)Thanks pjbell! My first thought was 'no way, we use bedroom 2 and can't lose it - far too radical'. But then I stopped and looked and actually, that may well be worth considering! All bedrooms are in use - bedroom 2 is our studio/craft room/office. Kids are in the back bedroom and top floor. I've got my heart set on an en-suite and keeping our large bedroom but have been mindful of making the studio too small so was opting for a small shower room. I've been pondering if there is anything we could do to have a larger family bathroom but couldn't see how. This could give a large family bathroom and more luxurious en-suite. The back room is south facing so would be much better for a studio - its worth seeing the size if we split into two bedrooms. I do like the fact that all bedrooms are decent doubles and wouldn't want them much smaller. We are going to be here for the next 10-15 years and will then look to downsize when the kids have flown the nest. This will be the only major work we'll do so although it needs to be right for us, I also want it to be as appealing as possible to the next family. Definitely food for thought - thanks!...See MoreSwap kitchen and bathroom around - tear wall down
Comments (2)Cost will be affected by whether any of the walls you want to remove are structural. Building regulations might also affect whether you can remove the wall between the kitchen and the hall - I think there are fire regs that restrict that if the building is 2 or more storeys (unless doors off hallway are fire doors), though tbh I’m not sure how that applies to this situation where the kitchen is at the top. Should be google-able though :)...See More

3 years ago297cm is not bad for a kitchen though.. Just use shallow cabinets on the opposite side and no uppers on the working side to keep it open and light (maybe a shelf over the sink or on the wall window). On the right hand the new bathroom door.

3 years agoAs Jonathan mentions it's the soil pipe that you need to locate. It's most likely on that outside wall to the right, however, there's a possibility that as it's a flat, that it could go straight down, internally, therefore, it would be difficult to move.
Please also be aware, that unless this flat comes with a share of the Freehold and is most likely a Leasehold only flat, that you MAY require permission from the Freeholder to do any type of building work to walls. You would need to check the lease to see what you can and can't do.
If It's listed, then you have to have permission regardless.
The other thing is, you would have to go open plan with the kitchen and remove the wall where the cupboards are in the lounge as there is no window. A kitchen with no natural light isn't a good thing. You can get away with a bathroom like that, but not so much a kitchen.
I think this is a lot of work to do because a door is in the wrong place and none of the above will really add any value. However, I do prefer the layout, the bathroom is near the bedroom and the kitchen is now a nice open plan lounge, kitchen / diner.

3 years agoAssuming your toilet has to stay where it is, I played with your layout a little.
Here I only moved the toilet door and put some furniture in to see what we've got. Probably remove the living room cupboard, but then again storage is great too:
Here I used half of the living room cupboard to gain space in the bathroom (ok, moved the toilet, just a little), so the boiler can go in there too and you could have a kitchen like I posted yesterday:
And with some extra cash you could overhaul the entire flat. Kitchen in the livingroom, will fill up the room quite a bit, but you'll get bedroom space in return, since I've turned the old kitchen into a wardrobe:
Just some quick ideas, not much detail.r Rae b

Kitchen living dining room. All in one. Storage bench next to the kitchen, extendable table. Imagine only one upper cabinet in the corner next to the tall units with fridge and oven.
