Help with small en suite bathroom layout
Comments (63)We have been playing around with this today and this is the layout we think we will go with. Due to solid floors and walls if we move the loo we need significant boxing in.

Comments (15)As OnePlan says, layout works & not being greeted by a wc is a bonus! Get the lighting right & it won't be a problem not having a window. I would recommend having lighting switched separately as well as extractor fan,with secondary lighting for when you may need to use the wc in the night etc & don't want to be blinded by the main lights - wall lights or LEDs at low level under vanity unit, left wall & right wall from end of bath to wc for example. Invest in a mirrored cabinet with integrated lighting & shaver socket & would recommend a large mirror on the left wall to make the room feel more spacious. We have fitted a mirror from ikea several times on previous projects, 2m x 80cm for £80. Regarding tile choice I wouldn't be to concerned about the finish of the tile if your lighting is right. I have gone with the same tile for both walls & floor in ensuite & small bathrooms which helps the room feel bigger. Whites & neutral tones are always a winner in smaller spaces. Hope the above helps & good luck with your project, put up some photos once you have completed it! Regards Karl...See MoreHow small can you reasonably make an en-suite?
Comments (9)Hi Chris, First and FOREMOST, a lot of the ideas above are great, however, they don't take account of the fundamental rules of bathroom installation. You start with the water supply and the drains and then decide if and where you can have one. Therefore, the idea of having the bathroom somewhere in the front bay window bedroom is very unlikely to be possible, The drains I presume are on the right hand side of the house. I think it would be a squeeze to get something else in upstairs on the side of the house that lends itself to the plumbing and drains. Therefore, the most cost effective and efficient place for the second bathroom is the Store on the ground floor. It is right in line with all the other plumbing and clearly the main drain is close by as you already have a W.C near to it under the stairs. You could choose to remove the w.c from underneath the stairs, block up the doorway and utilise the space from the other side of the stairs in the Utility Room, this will give you more room and storage in the Utility. Also, I'd probably block up the doors in the Store at the front of the house and re-site to a window with privacy glass at the side....See MoreSmall en-suite - best layout
Comments (17)Hi I think you have chosen the best and really only layout for this space. My suggestions are to look at ways to make this space the most comfortable you can, think about a minimal shallow shower tray so there isn't a big step, with the shower screen door opening into the shower and a small wall hung vanity so you have more floor space. Think about the WC position, when you sit on the WC your knees don't want to bang on the sink so I think you have to keep it fairly central on the back wall. You can get space saving short projection WC's like the Villeroy and Boch O.novo. It looks like you have a window on that wall so making sure the WC fits under that and so on will make the space look fabulous and perfectly formed!...See Moresarahstar
