Help 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 MoreIs this layout for a small bathroom ok?
Comments (17)I have a similar size and shape. Mine has the door where your 0.8m dimension is shown and an airing cupboard below where your door is indicated. This has meant I can move this stud wall to increase the bathroom a little and can now fit in a separate shower. We’re having a small freestanding bath 1650 x 685 under the window, WC between bath and shower with basin on left wall. Might be worth uploading the floor plan showing adjacent rooms....See Moresmall bathroom layout advice
Comments (6)Hi Ellie, you have made a good decision on removing the wall. Your new bathroom will look much more spacious. We agree with you on creating a wet room in the right hand corner. It is much easier to install a concealed wetroom shower tray in the first floor, because in older family houses, the floor construction is usually wooden. The problem would be to fit a concealed shower tray into the concrete ground floor construction. So the installation in your case shouldn’t be a problem. We advise you to opt for bigger tiles, so that there is less grouting and therefore less likely for water leaking through over time. Please let us know if you would need help with your bathroom renovation. We can provide you with free personalised design and a professional survey. And supply of sanitary ware and tiles complete with installation....See MoreHelp needed with small bathroom design layout
Comments (9)Query - why does the back wall of your shower have a slanted bit at the bottom? Is there something behind that, and under your storage area, that would mean you can't use all that back wall? If there's nothing there, and no problem with that corner, then: 1 - You could leave the bath where it is. Upgrade the panelling around the base and maybe put a little door in the panelling for under bath storage of cleaning stuff etc. Maybe even upgrade the bath itself too? And then move the loo to the back left corner, facing the window. Move the basin closer to the new loo position, and further away from the door, and build a low storage 'wall' all along that side wall, with the basin on it, and the loo also. The top of that new 'wall' will be a shelf for putting nice candles etc. Then, mirror all across that side wall, above the shelf, to increase the light and spaciousness. This is what we had in our tiny bathroom. It's more linear looking, with the main items on opposite sides of the room. 2 - Move the bath to horizontally across that back wall as you suggested - if space allows for the length of the bath. I think there will be enough space for a shower, even with sloping ceiling. Try standing up in the bath, and see if there is room above the tallest person's head. If you attach a pump to the shower, you will have enough power for a good shower. Maybe use mirror type tiles on the back wall above the bath to reflect light, and increase space. Move loo further into the room. Consider putting basin beside loo if there's enough room now, under the window and connecting them both, with a similar streamlined idea to above. This will square out the room a bit, leaving central space. You will also have a little space then on the left side where the sink was. Maybe a towel ladder could go there, or nice storage basket for loo rolls etc. 3 - Go and talk to Carolina in the Tubs & Tiles in Sandyford, in Dublin. She's amazing, and is a qualified architect, so she really understands space. She re-did our tiny bathroom. It looks amazing and has already won a prize! We took out the bath for a walk in shower. Which is my next suggestion to you! Even if you have small toddlers etc - you can always get a big plastic basin for baby bathing for a couple of years, and leave it in the shower. We left the sink and loo along the left side, and they're connected with the type of shelf I mentioned above. Good luck!...See MoreIsabell Britsch
