Which bathroom layout
4 years ago
Hi all,
We have a 2m by 2.5m space in which we are trying to fit an ensuite and bathroom. We realise the space is tight but have come up with the options shown in the pictures. Does anyone see any issues with either of the designs? Which one would you pick?
At the bottom of the picture is a hallway and to the right is a bedroom where we are creating an ensuite by taking space from the current bathroom. The bathtub is 1400mm long in the first picture and 1300mm long in the second. We are also planning to purchase a short project toilet for the ensuite.
Option 1
Option 2

Which side of the bathroom to place radiator?
Comments (26)Hello :) We have now plastered and painted first coat of white paint.. now deciding on the type of tiles.. we like the idea of Moroccon style tiles on the floor.. but as the bathroom is pretty narrow.. having a feature on the wall is a bit akward.. Our bathtub will be on the right and toilet under the window (same position as old layout) as all plumbing is already there. Unsure whether to have a concealed cistern toilet unit which can make the area look neater.. But I can't seem to find a good quality looking concealed unit (floor to under window measurement 98cm) width available is 50cm..or should i just go for a standard normal toilet. On the right after the bathtub we will have space for a double vanity sink unit.. opposite wall have a vertical stainless steel radiator... Unsure whether to go for a towel warmer or a vertical radiator? The bathroom will not have underfloor heating. Room dimensions are (length 335cm width 125cm) Any design ideas etc will be appreciated. Thank you X...See MoreWhich bathroom layout....
Comments (53)This one bothered me........a lot...........kept me awake in fact.......terrible insomnia. Thus when I gave up and got up at 5am, I drew up this one.........to scale. The third bedroom for me is the issue. If you're going to the trouble of removing a bathroom and resiting it, then make the most of every available inch and make it worth it. The little bedroom as is, just re-using the bathroom, will not work for long. It's just too small. Once you've put a bed in there eventually, there's no room for anything else. Plus, you don't have to do it like that.......so, amend it. A flat with 3 good sized rooms is worth more and more importantly will last you a lot longer, saving costs on having to move.Basically with regards bedroom 3, I put two doors in the middle wall that's causing the problem for everyone. I pushed back the left hand wall to include the space under the stairs, giving the room a built in wardrobe. I put a square top right to give access to the Hallway for that bedroom and bedroom 2, since we didn't want bed 2 opening in to the lounge. Bedroom 3 then has plenty of room for a cot, a chest of drawers and a nursiing chair. Plus, when you want to move to a bed, it still has room for everything. The En-suite is sufficient and the family bathroom quite large, large enough for shower and bath to help future use....See MoreBathroom layout help: which door to block up?
Comments (3)You should add a sketch of floor plans, that will help everyone visualise it better. This isn't what you want to hear, but we decided to keep the toilet separate from the shower room for a couple of reasons - more flexibility - someone in the shower doesn't prevent someone else going to the loo. And hygiene reasons - I don't like the thought of our toothbrushes sitting out beside the loo. We added a small wash hand basin to the loo room as it didn't have one originally (and a new loo). In the bathroom we took out the bath and replaced with a bath-sized shower and also added double sinks so kids can brush teeth at same time. Obviously neither room is huge but they both function well and they don't feel too small actually. Generally though I'd say have the door into the middle of the bathroom so that you walk into the circulation space for all the different uses - so I'd close the door to the toilet and have sink straight ahead between toilet and bath. That also ensures that you don't see the toilet as soon as you walk into the room, which is something best avoided if possible....See MoreWhich bathroom layout? Or can you think of something better?
Comments (16)Hi @Ursa Pirjevec - thanks so much for the above, really kind of you to take the time. Certainly lots to think about. Reason for not moving WC and basin are that they are already there - budget basically. Basin near window is also good for light. Don't need a second basin as there's one in the dressing room. I had considered bath under windows but I think I might use this area for low level storage, chair to put clothes one etc... I really like what your bath looks like in theory, but cleaning around the base is awkward...what you've done with the shower is interesting however am trying to avoid tight angular corners as these are a bit tricky for cleaning/make accumulate damp/mould...But thank you so much anyway - this has been really helpful. I think I'm likely to go with option 4 but interested to know if anyone knows where to get a cuttable shower tray? Or a wet room base that can be altered to fit an awkward asymmetrical shape? (which is most cost effective?!)...See More
