Is this bathroom plan impractical?
Hi guys
would love your advice! I had a bathroom plan drawn by an architect for me (attached). I’m knocking heads with my builders at the moment as they say it’s totally impractical and have to have a different layout with a smaller shower. I’ve really bought into the original plan and wanted to get some more opinions if possible!
plan dimensions
1500x850 shower - there will be a window in the shower which I don’t have an issue with I know some might
500x350 floating vanity
compact close coupled toilet
This will be the only bathroom in a small flat. We’re reconfiguring it and I used to have a bath and due to sacrificing that I really want a big shower - but obviously if the layout isnt going to look silly!
Their idea is to have
100x800 shower in the corner where the toilet is on the plan
600 vanity top left or top right
wall hung Toilrt too right below window

What do you think of open plan bathrooms?
Comments (65)I'm looking to renovate the ensuite of my 2 bed flat and came across photos of open plan bathrooms. Some of the photos look great and I'm considering it as I don't have much room to work with in the bathroom and my bedroom has room I can use. I'm looking at moving the basin into the bedroom area, which would free up space for a bath and shower. I was thinking of making the basin look less bathroom-y and more like a makeup desk using wood and soft furnishing and a full length mirror. The rest of the bathroom would be behind a wall (no door). Main problem is that the door to the bedroom will open to the the basin (the rest of the bedroom is on the left), which I guess would put people off. I quite like the idea but I'm concerned it would put off potential buyers (more so after reading the comments). Should I stick with a traditional ensuite? I can put a bath and shower in there but I think it would be too cramped or I can loose the bath and have more room with just a shower.

Comments (9)Both Hansgrohe and (Friedrich) Grohe are German companies; Friedrich was a son of Hans who went on his own in the 1930s, so they share a certain heritage. These days, Grohe is larger and no longer family owned. Both produce outside Germany as well as on their original German sites still. Both produce "basic" and "high-end" ranges. They're both regarded well back home in Germany, much of the choice is down to personal preference. Hansgrohe is on average slightly more expensive (but not on everything). They also own the Axor design brand which has a more "ecletic" selection. One can mix-and-match; in our bath (bit messy, sorry - we're using it for the washing up while waiting for the kitchen to be installed), the mixer is Grohe as is the shower wall outlet, the shower rail and head shower arm (just above the shower screen) are Hansgrohe pieces. At least the chromed finishes are very close for the two: Both can be sourced well below retail list prices - if you're prepared to wait, German online sellers for bathroom goods tend to have many-months delivery timelines. For Grohe essentials (the classical Grotherm mixers) at least, any German DIY shop stocks these at very attractive prices (the difference to the UK retail price list will pay for the ferry ticket and fuel)....See More4 bedrooms 1 Bathroom or 3 Bedrooms and 2 bathrooms??
Comments (4)If I was selling, I’d leave as It is and let the buyer decide what the want rather than spending time and money plumbing. If renting I think I’d leave as it is. How big is the smallest room? Are people likely to see the house as 3 bed+ office. If there’s 4 good size bedrooms I think an en-suite would be more desirable. It depends on your market really!...See More

3 years ago2 in 1 Toilet and sink is an awesome way to save space...then you could have a huge shower! Only thing is the basin tends to be quite small which might be an issue if its your only bathroom?
