Help with small en suite bathroom layout
Comments (63)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!...See MoreNeed help with our small bathroom
Comments (25)I wouldn't change much regarding the layout/placement of white goods either. But it'd be possible to get some extra. For example, an L- or P-shaped shower bath would get a nicer shower space. You'd end up with the wider part by the window though so may then also consider opaque glazing or a screen there. A concealed cistern in the back wall would bring that forward by around 10cm. If you don't want to loose all that space, a boxed-in cistern and shelves above may give you a little storage back. On the washing machine: you triggered my inner geek :-) This may be possible. You need to research a few things for this: A) a slim depth washing machine (usually 425mm) B) availability of a height reduction kit for it (if these are avail gets height down from 850mm to 800mm) C) use an extra-flat bottle trap for the basin D) partly embed that into a thin washtable (to make the surface then a total of ~100mm above the machine) If all these go together it should just be possible to fit washtable, drains, basin trap and the machine underneath into a box about 910x600x500mm (HxWxD) which is kitchen unit height. The countertop sink would sit above that. Maybe a little bit of extra space could be gained still if you'd construct a basin from a flat shower tray with an integrated trap (a Wedi fundo plano is 60mm high) but I'm not sure how to put the washing machine drain on then. Good luck!...See MoreHelp with small bathroom please
Comments (16)Nessaj have you thought about the style, an overall look, of your new bathroom? From our experience that impacts the design very much. For example, if you’d like to have a more traditional, victorian style, than a big freestanding slipper bath would be the focal point and everything else would have to be designed around it. And on the other hand, if you like a more contemporary feel, then a big wet room enclosure form wall to wall would be the main feature. And all of that dictates the arrangement on the floorplan. We’d be happy to help you if you could tell us more about how your dream bathroom would look like.

Comments (7)I'd make one big bathroom but have a door into it from your bedroom as well as from the hall - so it's an ensuite most of the time, but guest access from hall when necessary. Agree with above to make a lovely bedroom and bathroom for yourselves and share with guests - who will also appreciate a lovely bathroom rather than a small internal one. And from your two-bath solution - the main reason for me to want an ensuite is to have easy access to the toilet from bedroom during the night, so having the toilet separate from both bathrooms (and especially far from the ensuite) makes no sense to me at all. While Jonathan's idea works better if you want two smaller bathrooms, I'd rather have one big bathroom and no ensuite than a tiny ensuite....See Morefranchesca adams

17 days agoIt would be lovely if you could steal 50/60cm from the bedroom to place a 90cm wide vanity. The toilet is hung on a 15x90cm box with cystern, which leaves 110cm for a shower. I used a 110x70cm* here, but no seat (did you want the seat in or outside the shower?). Shower head should go on the landing wall, i'd suggest some corner shelves for shampoos. And for extra towels you could hang a shelf above the toilet, but don't store too many because of damp and mold. Replaced radiator for a modest towel radiator, if possible combine with electical underfloor heating in the 2x1m open space, as warm tiles are absolutely comfortable (and floor+mat dries a lot quicker in colder seasons).
(* quick google search: shower)
And personal advice; don't bother getting a rain shower, they're not that great and require a lot of water pressure.franchesca adams thanked rinkedfranchesca adams

16 days agoYou did state you didn’t want to break the bank, so what is your budget please? I turned my tiny bathroom into a shower room and it cost just under £6000 nine years ago. Layout is very similar to Sarah’s pic but I used a quadrant shower as no room for anything else.
