Tiny bathroom advice needed :)

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone could help/provide feedback re the ideas I have about how to renovate my tiny bathroom.

It measures 1.7m x 1.8m and I have 3m high ceilings.

These are the things I'm thinking/would like:

- keep a bath and get a bath over the shower (type of shower TBC).

- replace the basin with a similar unit and add a concealed cistern to tidy the loo up. (I'm limited re the choice of off the shelf units due to size)

- I'd like to add a shattaf spray near the loo if space allows

- mirrored cabinet with integrated lighting above basin.

- towel rail

Decoration:

- larger tiles around bath (likely white matt)

- smaller tiles around basin/above loo as a feature.

- paint on the remailing bits.

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of the space I'm working with. I would change the shower and taps on the bath to the other side of the bath to allow for a screen. I'd also put a towel rail for hand towels to the right of the basin above the bath.

I would probably tile quite high around the bath/shower then half tile the remaining walls then add coloured paint in the remaining high bits.

Here's a mood board I made. I'd likely go for the white toilet/sink unit below and the black and white tiles above the basin and toilet. To jazz it up a bit, I quite like the pink paint.

Here are some things I'm unsure about:

- Is it overkill to have a dual shower above the bath in a bathroom this size? I've never had a rainfall shower as well as the standard one, but they seem to be the 'thing'.

- shower screen - any tips on hinged/fixed? I'd need to access the shower controls but cannot put them in the middle of the bath/a better position due to the wall.

- tiling - how much/how far should I go? Due to the height of the ceiling, the little tiles have made it feel a bit like a coffin! Is there a way to trick the eye/use particular paint colours in the higher bit to avoid that squeezed in feel?

Any feedback, positive or negative, would really help. I'm doing a solo flat renovation and there are too many choices to make!

Thank you so much :)

Apart from the door position, my bathroom is about your size and layout and has a dual shower with drencher head above the bath. It doesn't look weird and I've had plenty of compliments! You've also got a higher ceiling than me so it should look much better. Most importantly, they are really nice to use. I say go for it.

Regarding the towel rail, I went for a wall mounted one to make best use of the limited floor space. Just an idea. I've included a couple of photos so you can see what the shower might look like in a room your size. Please excuse the poor camera quality.

I like be the arched window frame! Change the loo seat to a white one and sand & paint the bath panel white then you can add a pop of colour with your towels!

Suspect the space above sink has at least 30cm in width? I'd get a mirror cabinet. I know it's not great as its not centred but for me, I like the idea of having my daily essentials stored above the sink inside a mirror cabinet. Otherwise, try three white shelves. They will look great with the blue wall. An alternative is wall art. Make sure you don't get canvas as the bathroom is meant to get steamy during its lifetime. You can even get three small irregular shaped mirrors to offset the 'frames'/vertical alignment with the sink. Trip to IKEA (mirrors) or the Bathstore (look up the myplan wall cabinets) I'd say. Well done on the good job!

Any chance you have enough room outside the bath for a barn door? That would open up your floor plan greatly. I just got done installing pocket doors in my bath and office, huge space saver-but a lot of work. The barn door concept wont give you the air tight seal of a door but since ive put mine in, it is hardly ever used lol. If you can do either of those I would seriously consider moving the door closer to the tub and putting your vanity on the wall to the left. You will have a lot more storage, the layout will seem less hectic and if you are doing this for yourself (not planning on moving) you will enjoy it more. My initials used to be AD lol, now I am ADG

I've been thinking about options to cover all basis and came up with this. To allow guests to use a bath/shower the ensuite would be shared. I added a wall in the master bedroom to divide it and add privacy so guests don't have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bath/shower. The upsides are that the ensuite is larger, includes a bath and shower and has more vanity room. Also, by diving the bedroom I can add sort of a walk-in wardrobe. The downsides are that there's only one bath/shower that has to be shared and guests have to walk through the walk-in wardrobe to get to it. Also, it reduces the size of the master bedroom but it's quite a long room anyway and it would cut out the light from the windows in the bedroom. Personally I don't see these as big problems but I guess some people won't like it. Do you think this is a good idea?
