Bathroom - layout?
This is my space - no constraints really on location of items since I'm putting in new hot/cold feeds and waste.
The obvious place for a bath is under the window.
I'd like to fit bath, vanity of some sort - perhaps along a long wall 1.2-1.8m wide.
Loo - perhaps althuogh not a must - its going to be more a bath/soaker space.
Q - any thoughts on best arrangement - I'm thinking bath under the window, vanity at one end?
or bath across the end?
Doesn't feel like an 800 wide bath under the window leaves room for a vanity on the door wall.
Style/colour I'm reasonably settled - white shutters over the window & a sort of naturals/blue/ theme - more shaker than super modern.
Really can't decide - any pointers thoughts greatefully received.
Perhaps the way to go is vanity opposite the door and bath behind the door?
Then you're looking at a mirror on the way in - loo goes at the end, or chair if I go for the no loo option.
Bath under the window seems to use up the space too much.

Help with bathroom layout!
Comments (0)Hi All, I'm new on here and would be very grateful for some help/inspiration with our family bathroom we are looking to re-model. The current layout is attached (heavy black with both shower and bath) and doesn't really work as it feels quite pokey and there is no flat storage for toothbrushes etc. We're planning on moving the shower over the bath and then re-jigging the rest a bit so as to include a vanity unit with more storage by the sink - however can't seem to get it to work without the toilet being right opposite the door which isn't ideal - current alternative attached. Is there an option we're missing? I'd been assuming we need the toilet backing onto the external wall for ease of plumbing (it currently also blocks a lot!) and the cupboard contains pipework which we can't move....See MoreFamily Bathroom Layout Advice
Comments (17)I think your instincts are right and this room is too small for the laundry as well as a bath and shower. I think if you want a jet bath it will be at least 800 wide. If you then have a 700 toilet opposite there will only be 450mm for knees which is not enough. A space saver toilet might help but I still think it will be undersized. Furthermore the wall against the stairs will be tight for everything you want to fit in. If it were me I would prioritise a shower. Even with a laundry in there this could be an amazing shower room - I would then resolve to make sure that every time you go away you book a room with a tub. If you need the bath for toddlers then you should consider an oversized bath with a super shower over it...See MoreBathroom layout dilemma
Comments (27)personally I would design it like this, I want to see the window when I was in the tub & the corner empty space I could place a table/rack for bath gown/towel, laundry basket, tall cupboard, maybe tv on the wall if you got the budget, a cat litter, a chair if your friend DIY dyeing your hair on the tub, plants and so many more, pretty customizable corner you can decorate it differently by season, halloween, christmas, etc the door opened like this to ensure the toilet pivacy just in case you forget to lock the doors, and when you wash your face you can still have conversation with people outside of bathroom (like for monitoring kids on the bed/ while they're brushing their teeth), I want to put the closet further away from the bathub as I don't want it to be close enough in the same eye level while I was in the tub or in case there's strong smell...See MoreHelp with bathroom layout?
Comments (22)Following all your kind thoughts on my redesign, we’ve decided we very much like @Jonathan’s design for the bathroom and the removal of the original wardrobes on that side to give us more space. However in the bedroom we’re going to leave the bed where it is and instead wrap some more wardrobes around the bit leading to the dormer window. I’ve measured up and this will give us another 2.4m of wardrobe space. But anyway, my next question is whether anyone here is a bathroom or design professional who could do us a detailed drawing of the replanned bathroom with enough detail for a builder/plumber to work with? Happy to pay for such drawings. It will take us a while to book a plumber/fitter so I’m hoping to get a precise drawing with accurate measurements, then source ahead as many of the materials as I can by myself....See More

2 years agoSome ideas.
My personal preference is the offset corner bath, as it leaves more space to move around, towel radiator could go behind the door, shaving mirror next to the window, two 90cm vanities side by side (one with sink, one with full depth drawers) under one top.

2 years agolast modified: 2 years agoHi, really appreciate responses - it always helps having another pair of eyes find options - Thank you.
Current facilities3/4 bed house (4th is a study right now), 2 of us live here, but potentially still a 4 bed house.
1. Existing shower+WC room across the hall from this room
2. Master bed has ensuite+bath+WC in the eaves.
3. Outside WC (useful when gardening),
4. Utility room WC(which will eventually go).
...but no 'luxury, spend a while soaking' bathroom as such - hence the project, and hence the lack of urgency on another WC.
Imagine a farmhouse extended and messed with since the 1830s, include 1960s timber extension and you get an idea of what I'm working with - certainly not going to gut it and start again, more add more modern features as we go.
WC or not WC?I do get it - if I can get a WC in there it will work better and be a more obvious room setup. Obv a WC will fit - its the logistics of a fat soil pipe vs. the relatively easy 22mm feeds and/or 50mm bath/basin wastes. (would rather not have one than add in black water pumps mindyou)
@rinked - your bottom right option is my fave - bath on the bottom wall - however - depending on the end you're either looking up at the neighbours or at a wall, and its a shame to waste the view! (I fully realise you coulnd't possibly know whats out the window :) )
My wife prefers bath under the window - head on left end which gives a view of a willow tree and sky.
Current thinkingResorted to mk1 paper CAD and moving scraps of graph paper around! (its quicker than sketchup)
Not sure if this is legible - bath under the window, back to wall oval - loo next to the basin (obv. egonomic reasons) and a wider 1m basin vanity. Diagonal thing top left is a nominal chair.
Storage need not be built in and potentially behind the door/on that door wall.
