Help with bathroom layout?
Hello,
We are planning our bathroom renovation which we should have done when we moved in but ran out of money back then.
I’ve tried to plan out how it is at the moment and there are pictures of the horrid mosaic and worktops. I’d really like to get rid of the bath and have a big walk in shower. The window and boxing in of soil pipe looks like it will make construction over where the bath is now slightly tricky. no idea why all the taps/wastes are over away from external walls but it seems to make sense to me to try to have them all on one external wall if possible?
Option 1 is obvious but window recess makes it a little tricky.
Option 2 is my favourite, not least because it is an ensuite and the door opens next to my side of the bed! Id prefer the door in the dressing area but door space/corridor space beyond may be too narrow… Sliding pocket door might be possible?
We also desperately need more storage in here and we’re not bothered about having eg his and hers sinks. I *would* like a fancy toilet or handheld warm water douche plumbed in (not a bidet!) and also a really high end lit mirror/cabinet, and toothbrush charger that isnt going to fall in the sink etc.
I would consider electric underfloor heating but I definitely need it warm so proposing the tallest combo rad/towel rail I can fit in also.
Your thoughts on 1 & 2 would be v welcome, as would any other options I haven't thought of.
Measurements are on 1st drawing but in essence it is about 2m x 2.4m

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 Morehelp with bathroom layout please
Comments (13)Morning! Thanks @ MATM I think both bath and shower are definitely too cramped. Would the quadrant shower work better in that corner though than a square one? And will give enough space to walk in and around? Otherwise we have a 1200 long shower we can re-use so was thinking of putting that on the left wall with maybe the wc at the end or just storage space and having the wc on the right and sink on the back wall. I'm also working on an alternative room plan to try and make the room bigger so will come back and post the sizes of it works (just waiting on confirmation from a specialist today!)...See MoreHelp with bathroom layout needed please.

Comments (0)Hi All, I'm new on here and would be very grateful for some help/inspiration with our family bathroom we are looking to re-model. The current layout is attached (heavy black with both shower and bath) and doesn't really work as it feels quite pokey and there is no flat storage for toothbrushes etc. We're planning on moving the shower over the bath and then re-jigging the rest a bit so as to include a vanity unit with more storage by the sink - however can't seem to get it to work without the toilet being right opposite the door which isn't ideal - current alternative attached. Is there an option we're missing? I'd been assuming we need the toilet backing onto the external wall for ease of plumbing (it currently also blocks a lot!) and the cupboard contains pipework which we can't move....See MoreMidcen Tury-Modern
2 months agolast modified: 2 months agoThis gives a sense of the whole plan upstairs. Details not quite accurate in en suite (my dad did this drawing just so we could tell electricians and plumbers what to do during a lockdown renovation!
It isn't really a period house (unless you call a fairly ordinary 1990s then newbuild estate house period! 😆) so fairly ordinary stud walls etc.
I am now beginning to rethink the dressing area as you suggest…

And following discussion of joists, I think we may need to have a flattish shower tray but on a plinth, so it is ”almost” a walk in shower? I do want the biggest widest shower I can grt away with.
We really cannot afford to lose the wardrobe space but quite prepared to move it. Bedroom is large and we like its openness. We have a dormer window so the angles near front window are tricky!

2 months agoBasically the same layout as Jonathan made, closing off the bedroom door. Remove the boxing under the window, check if it's well insulated enough (perhaps add extra). Toilet and 120cm semi-floating vanity on one side (boxing goes through under it to hide plumbing and easier cleaning), shower with niche where the current shower is, next to it a cupboard/shelving where the entry used to be. The door in the bedroom becomes a cupboard, no need for patchwork there. New bathroom door could line up with closets, in my drawing it's not.
Insulated and with underfloor heating a regular 80x60cm towel radiator is sufficient and under the window is the best location to keep the chill at bay. My bathroom is the same size and it's always nice and warm in there.

2 months agoMy architect friend liked @Jonathan’s suggestion and modified it with a different (fairly radical) layout, bed not under window…! We’re going to try moving the bed around next weekend to see if there’s enough space.

2 months agoFlipped shower and vanity, both 120cm wide. Full height storage, about 30cm deep. Kept bathroom entry, because of storage space in dressing.
And i don't think the bedroom is wide enough to pull off the walk-in behind the bed. Would only work if you can manage without nightstands (and the extra aisle would make your bedroom 1.6m shorter). The bedroom is large enough to add a large dresser and a window bench-chest (nifty storage for winter duvet and blankets).Midcen Tury-Modern
2 months ago@rinked yes you may be right.
Any thoughts on this layout?(sorry for hacking your perfectly drawn plan @Jonathan!)
Husbands wardrobes give him about a 140cm run in total. The plan below would replace with 180 on the window side and another 100+ on the dressing area side, though not all would be full height. At the moment weve got awkwardly shaped/varying height free standing furniture there so actually building something in would also give a bit more visual coherence.
But not sure how it will ’feel’
