Hi Andrew, what a great question!

I think the best thing to do in this case would be to 'steal' some space from the second bathroom, 300mm should suffice, as this would acommodate for your dream 1700mm bath, and would still allow for a good sized 1100mm shower in the other room. I would also recommend a a sliding door in the second bathroom, as this would make up for the lost space. To make it easier for you, I have attached my recommended floorplan below - I hope this helps to solve your dilemma a bit!

Good luck with your project!

Best wishes,

Hi Sue. Your question caught my eye because, here at Big Bathroom Shop, we often receive enquiries regarding how to make the most of bathroom space. Not surprising considering that the UK has some of the smallest living spaces in all the Europe! So, I decided to have our specialist bathroom design team look at your sketch, and following are a few idea's we think might be helpful. First of all, as has been mentioned, you will really need to move your door- if it is a stud wall, this won't be too big a job. You could move the door left or right. Let's assume you move it to the right; next to the cloakroom door. That would mean you could then place the bath along the left hand wall. You would really need to think about buying a smaller basin and there are a range of options available to you here. You could consider a compact vanity, which will also provide what may prove to be some much needed storage space. Or you could consider a corner basin or, simply, a small wall mounted basic. All of these options free up a good amount of space. This would leave you plenty of room to install a walk in shower; 800 or possibly even 900mm. You might also want to install a small basin in the adjoining cloackroom. Something to bear in mind, and a favourite saying of our resident expert, Stephen, is that you "aren't having a party in there!" At the end of the day, the amount of floor space that you need to have available is just enough to swing a towel about your shoulders. With this in mind you can work wonders, even in the smallest of spaces. I have provided a couple of links below to some of our compact bathrooms, and to a blog post (Stephen's actual downstairs bathroom) which should help. I hope this is useful and I will keep an eye out for any progress. Best of luck. Ian Compact Bathroom Blog Vanity Units Basins & Corner Basins

Hi Denisa, I'm an architect and run a practice in London. I don't think you should rearrange the sanitary ware or fill in the window. Here's why: - The current configuration can work and will save time and money by keeping the plumbing in the same locations. - Getting rid of a window will reduce the amount of light and I think you have other options for storage. As well as your other suggestions, I attach a sketch of what I think you should do: - Move boiler to other location. - Knock down all partitions and remove doors. Retain part of the partition between the stair and current boiler / proposed shower. - Behind the door to the bathroom you could have a large cupboard [marked 'store' on the sketch]. Doing this will create a much larger bathroom without costly reconfiguration of plumbing. If a shower is a tight squeeze, you can get smaller baths... Hope that helps. Stephen

Hi Shahzaib As a designer I always find it works really well if you can create 2 circuits in the bathroom, one for low level lighting and one for main lighting. As you can see in the first picture below we used Altea Mini uplighters to create the effect for uplighting and floor washing which offers ambient and indirect lighting if you want that candlelight experience. For overhead lighting we would usually opt for downlighters in the form of the Atlas or the Eiger as both are IP44 rated for the bathroom and offer a baffled anti glare light. If you have the opportunity, niche lighting also works for background lighting, please see the second image in which we used the Selene niche led. I hope this helps but i wish you like with your project.

Hi Andrew,

Happy to help! It would be great if you could send me a direct message with some more information, and I can put together a fee proposal, dependent on what exactly you need from your kitchen.

Best wishes,

Charlie
