Need help with the layout of my bathroom
Comments (18)We are still working on our new house, there is currently a bath with a glass half screen that is totally useless. The water bounces off whoever is showering past the screen and over the toilet, the floor, the ceiling, and it's only a half tiled wall so the wallpaper is peeling. I've considered the P or d shaped baths which give a larger section at one end in which to stand when using the shower and I've seen there are matching curved glass screens to go with them. Two points to consider. 1. If you are not planning on staying a shower could be a good selling point, the water saving of a shower versus a bath. Our last bath hardly saw a look in during 16 years and although it was a lovely deep double ended steel bath it gathered dust and the shower was definately the go-to choice. 2. I am now considering the usability of the bathroom for an elderly relative who has had a stroke, likes baths, but may not be able to get into, or out of one, with dignity intact. I'm thinking that a large walk in shower with additional wall jets could be a good option and the upscale could be a wow factor. Although you may not be in the same position you can never have enough forward planning....See MoreL-shaped bathroom layout
Comments (11)Turn the toilet round - the waste pipe can go out sideways and be boxed in. Build a partition wall (shown in red above) so you have enough space to put a shower against it (the shower shown above is 1100mm x 800mm). Or, if you don't want to lose the light from the window make the new wall half wall half glass (as in this picture), or all glass, and have a custom made shower enclosure. There should be enough space to fit in a basin so the door will still open. Good luck with your project!...See MoreBathroom layout advice
Comments (22)My bathroom is almost identical except for being only the length of the bath plus a couple of inches. I also have an outer cupboard in the same place. Rinq is right to utilise the cupboard for the bath. Mine has the electric meter in it so I can't. Your electric line for a socket can be used for a power shower/water pump. Moving the door to the left and as far onto the landing as possible without having to move the bedroom doors will maximise space for minimum effort. Separate the end of the bath from the toilet with a cupboard the size of a low bookcase. A door on the end will hide toilet rolls and cleaning gear. A blocked shelf at the top will take toiletries for the bath with nice plant above. No view of toilet from bath but with daylight. Shower over enclosed end will contain water spray if the bath slope allows for standing there. I've found a shower curtain works better than a screen. A sturdy laundry bin you can sit on is really helpful in confined space....See MoreBathroom/Bedroom layout dilemma
Comments (6)Hi Rhian Foley Having looked at your layout as you have sketched, a big bathroom is good as bathrooms and kitchens are the items that make a house. The only thing I would try to change is the en-suite in the master bedroom, possible long and thin if possible and along the party wall near the stair. Hope this helps. p.s. I almost bought a house with that layout and was thinking of doing a similar extension....See More88wj88
