last yearI don’t have a bath under a window, but I have a window above my kitchen sink and at 5’4” I can just about reach the bottom part of the window but I can’t reach the smaller storm window at the top, if that’s any help!

Need help with the layout of my bathroom
Comments (18)We are still working on our new house, there is currently a bath with a glass half screen that is totally useless. The water bounces off whoever is showering past the screen and over the toilet, the floor, the ceiling, and it's only a half tiled wall so the wallpaper is peeling. I've considered the P or d shaped baths which give a larger section at one end in which to stand when using the shower and I've seen there are matching curved glass screens to go with them. Two points to consider. 1. If you are not planning on staying a shower could be a good selling point, the water saving of a shower versus a bath. Our last bath hardly saw a look in during 16 years and although it was a lovely deep double ended steel bath it gathered dust and the shower was definately the go-to choice. 2. I am now considering the usability of the bathroom for an elderly relative who has had a stroke, likes baths, but may not be able to get into, or out of one, with dignity intact. I'm thinking that a large walk in shower with additional wall jets could be a good option and the upscale could be a wow factor. Although you may not be in the same position you can never have enough forward planning....See More4 bedrooms 1 Bathroom or 3 Bedrooms and 2 bathrooms??
Comments (4)If I was selling, I’d leave as It is and let the buyer decide what the want rather than spending time and money plumbing. If renting I think I’d leave as it is. How big is the smallest room? Are people likely to see the house as 3 bed+ office. If there’s 4 good size bedrooms I think an en-suite would be more desirable. It depends on your market really!...See MoreLarge bathroom vs small bathrooms / ensuite
Comments (7)I'd make one big bathroom but have a door into it from your bedroom as well as from the hall - so it's an ensuite most of the time, but guest access from hall when necessary. Agree with above to make a lovely bedroom and bathroom for yourselves and share with guests - who will also appreciate a lovely bathroom rather than a small internal one. And from your two-bath solution - the main reason for me to want an ensuite is to have easy access to the toilet from bedroom during the night, so having the toilet separate from both bathrooms (and especially far from the ensuite) makes no sense to me at all. While Jonathan's idea works better if you want two smaller bathrooms, I'd rather have one big bathroom and no ensuite than a tiny ensuite....See MoreDownstairs layout help with Kitchen & Lounge, bathrooms renovations
