It has come to the bathroom renovation time (current attached) we have a small bathroom with odd layout due to cupboard being on the reverse side. We have settled on a layout (I think). Question is, next to the door would it be strange to put a full length mirror? Bathroom to be used by 3 teenage girls. Did contemplate losing the bath but it makes me nervous doing so.

last yearYes a full length mirror would be good for three girls. I would extend the vanity and install two basins. Make the bath and shower into a walk-in wet room. Photo for concept attached. It is a good sized space, I would not call it small.

Comments (30)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!...See MoreSmall bathroom design and layout
Comments (10)Hi Debbie. In my view bathrooms are best when the kit is on two walls only it can look disjointed when the bath, sink etc is dotted around each wall. So, for me, the simplest and cheapest might just be to turn the loo 90degrees and place it on the wall next to the basin? Alternatively could you fit both loo and a slightly shorter bath on the window wall? Then basin and shower on the right hand wall? Not sure it will all fit, but it might......See MoreSmall bathroom layout options
Comments (3)Option 1 seems easiest and best choice to me. Yes, it's not ideal to walk straight into toilet, but the room will work and it's a fairly standard bathroom layout....See MoreHelp needed with small bathroom design layout
Comments (9)Query - why does the back wall of your shower have a slanted bit at the bottom? Is there something behind that, and under your storage area, that would mean you can't use all that back wall? If there's nothing there, and no problem with that corner, then: 1 - You could leave the bath where it is. Upgrade the panelling around the base and maybe put a little door in the panelling for under bath storage of cleaning stuff etc. Maybe even upgrade the bath itself too? And then move the loo to the back left corner, facing the window. Move the basin closer to the new loo position, and further away from the door, and build a low storage 'wall' all along that side wall, with the basin on it, and the loo also. The top of that new 'wall' will be a shelf for putting nice candles etc. Then, mirror all across that side wall, above the shelf, to increase the light and spaciousness. This is what we had in our tiny bathroom. It's more linear looking, with the main items on opposite sides of the room. 2 - Move the bath to horizontally across that back wall as you suggested - if space allows for the length of the bath. I think there will be enough space for a shower, even with sloping ceiling. Try standing up in the bath, and see if there is room above the tallest person's head. If you attach a pump to the shower, you will have enough power for a good shower. Maybe use mirror type tiles on the back wall above the bath to reflect light, and increase space. Move loo further into the room. Consider putting basin beside loo if there's enough room now, under the window and connecting them both, with a similar streamlined idea to above. This will square out the room a bit, leaving central space. You will also have a little space then on the left side where the sink was. Maybe a towel ladder could go there, or nice storage basket for loo rolls etc. 3 - Go and talk to Carolina in the Tubs & Tiles in Sandyford, in Dublin. She's amazing, and is a qualified architect, so she really understands space. She re-did our tiny bathroom. It looks amazing and has already won a prize! We took out the bath for a walk in shower. Which is my next suggestion to you! Even if you have small toddlers etc - you can always get a big plastic basin for baby bathing for a couple of years, and leave it in the shower. We left the sink and loo along the left side, and they're connected with the type of shelf I mentioned above. Good luck!...See Moresophie621

last yearSo we are going with the no bath and long vanity, full length mirror and large shower with full length shower shelf. Basically this minus the bath
