Re-design of small bathroom
Comments (7)Hi Sue. Your question caught my eye because, here at Big Bathroom Shop, we often receive enquiries regarding how to make the most of bathroom space. Not surprising considering that the UK has some of the smallest living spaces in all the Europe! So, I decided to have our specialist bathroom design team look at your sketch, and following are a few idea's we think might be helpful. First of all, as has been mentioned, you will really need to move your door- if it is a stud wall, this won't be too big a job. You could move the door left or right. Let's assume you move it to the right; next to the cloakroom door. That would mean you could then place the bath along the left hand wall. You would really need to think about buying a smaller basin and there are a range of options available to you here. You could consider a compact vanity, which will also provide what may prove to be some much needed storage space. Or you could consider a corner basin or, simply, a small wall mounted basic. All of these options free up a good amount of space. This would leave you plenty of room to install a walk in shower; 800 or possibly even 900mm. You might also want to install a small basin in the adjoining cloackroom. Something to bear in mind, and a favourite saying of our resident expert, Stephen, is that you "aren't having a party in there!" At the end of the day, the amount of floor space that you need to have available is just enough to swing a towel about your shoulders. With this in mind you can work wonders, even in the smallest of spaces. I have provided a couple of links below to some of our compact bathrooms, and to a blog post (Stephen's actual downstairs bathroom) which should help. I hope this is useful and I will keep an eye out for any progress. Best of luck. Ian Compact Bathroom Blog Vanity Units Basins & Corner Basins...See MoreBathroom re-design dilemma
Comments (3)Hi Denisa, I'm an architect and run a practice in London. I don't think you should rearrange the sanitary ware or fill in the window. Here's why: - The current configuration can work and will save time and money by keeping the plumbing in the same locations. - Getting rid of a window will reduce the amount of light and I think you have other options for storage. As well as your other suggestions, I attach a sketch of what I think you should do: - Move boiler to other location. - Knock down all partitions and remove doors. Retain part of the partition between the stair and current boiler / proposed shower. - Behind the door to the bathroom you could have a large cupboard [marked 'store' on the sketch]. Doing this will create a much larger bathroom without costly reconfiguration of plumbing. If a shower is a tight squeeze, you can get smaller baths... Hope that helps.

Comments (7)Hi Ashleigh, It depends on how much work you would like to do on the property. If you are looking to move in the near future, maybe sprucing it up a little might make you feel better. However, creating a hallway cutting through the master bedroom might be an option, it would make the master bedroom smaller however the space would function better, you could close off the door between bathroom and master. meaning no one has to walk through to get to the bathroom. Or maybe if there is room to extend into the back, you would have more space to explore other options. I offer Layout plans services, so if you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me. Charlene. Info@ceekdesign.com...See MoreSonia
