Help needed with small bathroom design layout
Hi, I'm at the very beginning of having my bathroom re-done and really want to create a nice space that feels less cramped! This is a 1900's terraced house and we only have one bathroom which is on the ground floor at the back of house as they often are. Me and my partner have been trying to think of layout and design ideas and have agreed to definitely keep a bath. From the pictures you can see we have a wall that comes forward at the back of the bathroom with some storage space behind the shower which we really don't like and plan to knock through for more space. Bathroom size 188cm x 216cm
Option 1- We originally thought to remove the shower and have a shower in the bath, moving the bath left and up against the back wall as the ceiling is slanted at the back of the bathroom meaning its too low to have a shower in the bath where it is currently. The toilet is on the right hand side of the bathroom when you walk in and we would probably move that slightly over for more space so it's not so close to the door and keep the sink and radiator where it is but just upgrade these pieces. We also thought we would have nice tiles around the bath and paint the rest of the bathroom white.
Option 2- An idea that is still floating around in my head haha - having both the bath and shower separate, square/rectangle shower cubicle and a free standing bath to create space for the toilet to be moved over slightly with a similar layout as we already have or maybe even swap the shower cubicle and free standing bath to go on the opposite sides they are now. I'm not sure if this is just too much for the size of my bathroom and we are trying to keep within a reasonable budget. But any advise and ideas would be so appreciated on layout and designs.

Need help with our small bathroom
Comments (25)I wouldn't change much regarding the layout/placement of white goods either. But it'd be possible to get some extra. For example, an L- or P-shaped shower bath would get a nicer shower space. You'd end up with the wider part by the window though so may then also consider opaque glazing or a screen there. A concealed cistern in the back wall would bring that forward by around 10cm. If you don't want to loose all that space, a boxed-in cistern and shelves above may give you a little storage back. On the washing machine: you triggered my inner geek :-) This may be possible. You need to research a few things for this: A) a slim depth washing machine (usually 425mm) B) availability of a height reduction kit for it (if these are avail gets height down from 850mm to 800mm) C) use an extra-flat bottle trap for the basin D) partly embed that into a thin washtable (to make the surface then a total of ~100mm above the machine) If all these go together it should just be possible to fit washtable, drains, basin trap and the machine underneath into a box about 910x600x500mm (HxWxD) which is kitchen unit height. The countertop sink would sit above that. Maybe a little bit of extra space could be gained still if you'd construct a basin from a flat shower tray with an integrated trap (a Wedi fundo plano is 60mm high) but I'm not sure how to put the washing machine drain on then. Good luck!...See MoreHelp required for layout with small bathroom
Comments (6)Hi. You may not be able to move the soil pipe to move the loo. Is the missing corner the boxing in of the pipes? This is the duo tub by omnitub which measures 1050 x 1050 which is obviously set in the same width bathroom as yours. It may be worth exploring to see if it's an option. If not large tiles so the space doesn't look busy with grout lines and a huge mirror will help. A vanity unit on legs will also help to give a feeling of space if you manage to find one in that size. Good luck!...See MoreNeed bathroom designer asap - 2 small bathrooms

Comments (17)Hi Sarah, As you can see a square shower tray is going to work to much better than a rectangle shower tray. It is going to allow you much more space and open up the room. I would suggest keeping the base of the room light (tiles and paint), and then go ahead and incorporate darker shades. On the wall, where the sink sits, add a large mirror to enhance the space in the room, this is a simple and easy way to trick the eye into thinking a room is bigger than it is. A wall hung toilet and skin cabinet is going to increase the floor space of the room. From a decorative side of things I would recommend black framed glass around the shower, this is a substile dark colour introduction without over doing it, and the glass will still keep the room open. I will post some images below of what I think could work. If you need anymore help please do let me know....See More- 5 years ago

5 years agoOption 1. Without doubt.
I am curious (as in suspicious) to what's there in the left corner though!
In the drawing are a 120cm vanity and 170cm bath.- 5 years ago
Option 1 for sure! @rinked’s plan looks good to me.
Totally left field, but have you considered stealing some space from the second bedroom and adding an upstairs bathroom?
It’ll leave you with a smaller room but you’d have the benefit of a bathroom upstairs (if feasible) and convert downstairs bathroom to wc/utility room.
Could ask the plumber if it’s feasible since he’s already popping round.
Just a thought! - 5 years ago
