en-suite odd sink area

2 years ago

Hi everyone, I’m fitting an en-suite to an existing loft conversion. The empty room for the en-suite is already done but used for storage. It’s a small space with the corner cut off to fit the door. As such we are limited in how we configure the room. Our only option for the sink is close to the door, underneath the window. I’m worried it’s going to look wonky and off centre!
I was thinking a vessel sink on oak worktop or something up cycled rather than a new cabinet or pedestal. Is there anything clever I can do to make the sink area look less odd on the eye?
Changing the window isn’t an option and this is the only space left after finding sensible places for the loo and shower.
Help please houzzers

It’s difficult to tell from that photo. Do you have more photos or sizes?

Poorly drawn floor plan. Quadrant shower is 90cm on each side.
I don’t want the sink right in the corner next to the door but it also can’t go in middle of the window due to the toilet position, leaving just this awkward half in the window position. Window sill is quite low- 90cm from floor

I understand what you are saying! :) It's resistant to mould and cracking so no worries there either. Microcement is trowelled on at a thickness of 3mm and depending on the technique applied it has effects resembling marble, stone, metal and even rust! Almost any substrate can be coated with microcement so you can have bespoke units or even furniture fabricated and then coated. Cost is comparable to a good quality tile once labour, adhesive and grout is factored in.

Just thought I would update my post as the en suite is *almost finished. Only take 6 months (rolls eyes) and still a bit of cladding above the WC to finish and on the sink unit (same walnut cladding on the front) and of course I have to have a shower screen designed as it won’t take a standard shower door. Such fun. Will take some other angle pics over the weekend once it’s all tidied up and cleaned. Just struggling now with storage!! Only got a shallow space under the sink (25cm deep- 26cm at most) to put some drawers but I can’t find any. Got space on the wc side for a little bench seat with storage under so trying to work out the best colour/style that’s not too twee.

Basic design packages don’t allow you to draw in sloped ceilings. So I think you need to enlist a designer or concept planner who can create the room in CAD and help you visualise the space including the ceilings. Try a search on Houzz for professionals. OnePlan is a regular contributor, you can look on her profile to see her past projects, and a quick message to her will start a conversation about different levels of service.

Shower room / en-suite without a toilet?
Q

I think an ensuite without a toilet is fine, since you already have two loos there. Maybe you could squeeze another toilet in somewhere downstairs, closer to the soil pipe?

It solves the odd window situation but my other half is worried about small sinks, he has shovels instead of hands 😂

Could shower be wet room flooring rather than tray? If so the sink could go in the end of the shower ( where you have 90) with glass panel between shower and loo.

@tab I’d prefer a shower with glass panel rather than a quad but I think exiting the shower is going to be a squeeze- even more so if there’s a sink there.

The bathroom fitter who came to quote was very functional and pipe oriented rather than what would look good! I know that’s important but im struggling to see that it will be a nice space when it’s done.

Having a think- what if we put in a countertop in the sink area but stretching into the corner. Sink in top of worktop in front of window with offset tap and then mirror area on the wall next to it with a small toiletries space. So you either orient to sink or mirror rather than the edge of window line. Does that make sense? Dodgy phone photo attached...
