HELP PLEASE - Bathroom layout before builder kills us

last year

Hello! :)

So we are in middle of extension and planned for a beautiful downstairs bathroom, sink/toilet combo. A

Estate agent has told us to try and fit a shower in there too to make it easiest to rent/sell. (Before extension we had a downstairs shower)

The space is 2100x1850. - appreciate any shower will need to be small. Right now toilet waste pipe been put in top right of room, but it can be moved.

Any ideas on layout please!!!! 🙏🏼 Builder needs to know before tomorrow.

Ps. Ideally I don’t want one of those tiny sinks (like those used for small understairs toilets)

You can definitely fit a shower, handbasin and toilet in that space. Shower opposite your door, toilet where you suggest and handbasin opposite. You will fit in a normal washbasin with storage I think. We have a bathroom of ours and I fitted bifold doors which are great when the shower is not in use. We had the bathroom tanked to prevent leaks.

I know you said you don't want a mini basin in there (and if it's the room on the right of the plan, it looks like you have plenty of space), however, I wanted to point out that there are some really nice cloakroom size basins available. We had a v small space (about 1500 x 1700) and have fitted a toilet, bath and basin in it.

The roper Rhodes basin we have is really nice and fits perfectly (photo of it - apologies for cleanliness - below!)

We have been playing around with this today and this is the layout we think we will go with. Due to solid floors and walls if we move the loo we need significant boxing in. My app has limited selections of items but we will have sanitary ware in these locations, we think!

Hello `Sarah, I think the kitchen is fantastic!!! Please keep it!!! So I have some suggestions.. I think it has some great elements.. The design and colour of the cupboards plus those tiles are really fabulous, also love the floor too.. I'd keep it all!!! The top cupboards are gr8 without glass and your image is very different and dare I say not nearly so interesting.. Maybe you can celebrate the uniqueness of it! Minnie is right to suggest moving the cabinets closer to the ceiling (it has been lowered in part but I would leave it as is) easily done without damage and you can move the boiler in line with them.. .. This is a gr8 idea as it will feel a little more open and spacious.. you could then paint above the tiles a lovely warm chalky white or off white.. and any other wall areas.. It will balance the units out and I would definitely keep the colour the same here top and bottom... If you don't want to change the current configuration too much and keep costs down, I would buy a free standing chrome range oven like Smeg dual fuel and extractor Aeg angled hood and fit in same place as current oven.. Dualit toaster and kettle Bugatti Vera in chrome.. Angled extractor hood Aeg and a smeg 50's white fridge would be nice here too! With the fridge I feel it could stand at the end of the counter top.. Leave the sink exactly as it is and the boiler too, all you then need to do is put a cabinet shell and door on the front of the opening where fridge was and paint it and the bits of cabinet that are white to the shade of yellow and voila! Anther storage space for the dishwasher. I would move that metal shelf or add another if you like it.. .. Add a polycarbonate pendant Creatures by Nigel Coates which would look amazing with the kitchen.. Also the kitchen is definitely not past it!!! (added that bit after reading the comment further down) : ))

Thank you all - it's so useful to get your different perspectives and ideas, and I really appreciate the time you've taken to put together plans / suggestions. Jonathan, I like the idea of a recessed cupboard (didn't know you could get those) and will investigate for over the sink, although my husband is keen on a demisting mirror there. All the cabinets I've seen that incorporate demisting mirrors have got a ridiculous number of other bells and whistles (lights etc, even sound systems!!) which I really don't want/need. So I'd thought we would go for a big demisting mirror over the sink and accommodate the shaver socket elsewhere, perhaps cutting it into the back of a 'normal' cabinet. Do you think it would look odd to have a wall mounted cabinet like this http://www.wireworks.co.uk/natural-oak/9/ to the left of the door as you come in (on the other side from the towel rail)? It's very shallow so wouldn't impede sight lines out of the window too much, but I worry it would look oddly suspended in midair! The built shower wall is a good idea (and neatly resolves the loo roll holder dilemma) but I think we probably want to stick to a glass screen as the view is good (our house is on a hill in London and we can see pretty far towards Kent). So more prosaically, AJ, what would you do with the loo roll holder?!! Put it to one side of the loo on the back wall and accept some contortionist moves would be needed? Love the Watermark collection taps. We were planning to go for the 1200mm duravit Vero trough basin with two mixer taps, but will investigate if these taps could be compatible. Is it normally more expensive / more difficult to get wall mounted taps installed? Thanks for the vote of confidence for freestanding furniture. I think instinctively that's what I want to do - just know it will be harder to find exactly what we need for the space!

Hi guys, I am back again with a bathroom query, I have an image attached. I really don't like the current layout for this bathroom and I'm thinking if we move the toilet to the wall on the left under the sink and put the bathroom vanity where the toilet currently is so that this is the first thing the person sees when the door is open. Do you think this works? Again advice is hugely appreciated. I honestly had no idea finalising bathrooms would be so difficult, and the support I have received on Houzz has been the best of any professional I have met so far so thank you all! Any questions please do let me know!
