Opinions on bath placement please
We are in the process of having our ensuite redone and have bought a gorgeous copper bath. It is quite a large room and I’m undecided as to where to put the bath. I had decided but then made the mistake of asking my daughter’s opinion and now she’s made me second guess myself.
I’ve been playing around with different positions - any thoughts would be welcome. The toilet will be to the right of the doorway (from where I’ve taken the photos) with the washstand on the right of the window and the shower on the left of the fireplace. The built in unit and fireplace are to remain.
One benefit of having it on an angle is that the view from the window is of trees- if we put it parallel to the fireplace then we’d be able to see our neighbour’s house.

Need help with furniture placement in bedroom!
Comments (14)Unfortunately - there is not enough height to hang the mirror centrally and horizontally. It looks a bit ridiculous and all I can see is my belly button!! I put a shorter lamp there just to give an idea of height... I do think they look better pushed together though! Perhaps this is a better configuration? (not planning to use this lamp - maybe something with a heavier base and a light grey shade?) Opinions welcome :) thanks so much for your input!...See MoreTV placement
Comments (15)I suppose if you want an enormous TV and want to sit well back then the idea works but personally I would rather have their suggested furniture configuration because I think that you would have seating for more people....See MoreTap placement advice
Comments (12)From my experience, a wide spout does not splash at all. We have one mounted say 4 inches above the bath on a wall. However, given the style of tap and shower head combo you have chosen, I now don’t think a spout would work placed directly underneath. In our main bathroom, we have a filler and it is as fast as a tap. It doesn’t fill from the bottom though. It’ a combination filler / overflow, so you do get the flowing water with this. If you look at the photos on Houzz for something like “feature bath” you can see what other people have done. There are quite a lot of asymmetrical or side by side layouts of taps / spouts etc which work well....See MoreBath pannel suggestions please
Comments (14)Rather than use a local joiner, you could try bathpanelstore.co.uk, which makes custom panels for very reasonable prices (and where I turned when I needed a new one.) A plain single piece MDf one is about £70, and marine ply ones are £106. Making them two piece / with a plinth adds about £15 to the price. You can send them a drawing of what you want and they will make it. So given you can’t accommodate drop down hinged doors, how about pop/ lift out doors? They can be secured using roller catches or magnets. Depending upon size and placement, you could probably figure out a way to maximise access to the side of your bath that has the tower cupboard next to it. If if were mine, and I was feeling a bit handy and creative, I’d order an unfinished marine ply with two concentric rectangular cut outs for each desired door... the larger cut out would be the lift out frame, and the smaller one would the centre door panel. Then I would get all pieces shipped to me (they will all fit together like a puzzle.) I would then stain them to coordinate with my bathroom, making sure to read up on how to prep ply for staining. I’d then fit the fixed frame panel, shave a small tolerance off the lift out frame, and fit magnets or roller catches so it can be easily removed for access. And finally, fill the centre opening with either the original panel (whole or cut into slats), or perhaps wired bamboo/willow/reeds edging from a garden supply store. Poundland has them right now, too. Or get the thin fretwork panels used as radiator inserts. Or heck, even a bunch of thin shell necklaces like a Moana-inspired fringed curtain. Thanks for letting me live vicariously...See MoreJen
