Sheesh, whoever designed this house didn't think about the bathrooms very much did they? For the master bath, I would put in a pocket door and maybe switch the positions of the toilet and sink, or better yet, put the tub/shower against that wall and put the sink and toilet against the wall the tub is in now. Actually, what about making bedroom 1 the master bedroom? Make the entrance to it where the common wall is now so take out the bedroom door and put the door in the hallway? Remove the wall from the bath to the hallway end and you have a bigger bathroom and more room to work with to change things around. Bedroom 4 could become a walk-in closet. And then put the door to the extra bath to the hallway and you can move the sink and toilet to the wall between it and Bedroom 3. Either way, it's gonna be some $ to do. But the layout of both bathrooms as they are now, just really suck.

I was posting it on my iPad and accidentally posted it in th wrong section. It was meant to be in the before and after section. I didn't know how to move it or delete it once I'd posted it. Sorry.

Hello All, Thank you for all your comments! It's great to see how important these factors are to people (especially as this 'Old Age' shenanigans will be experienced by all one day!) With regard to the height of the toilet - the lady in question is in her late eighties, and we worked with her at each stage of the remodel, she tested the height of the toilet to make sure it was exactly where she wanted it and where she felt comfortable (the same with the grab handles). We also put the basin on a reinforced frame, so that she can use that as support, if needed. I think it must be the angle of the photograph as there is plenty of room to manoeuvre between the WC and the shower screen. Concealed cisterns are great for a project like this as they are such a space saving design. Using a reliable and recommended brand such as Gerberit puts your mind at ease that nothing should go wrong - especially if you use skilled plumber/tradesmen. Obviously nothing is perfect, which is why if anything should (and it is rare that it does go wrong) they come with a 25 year guarantee. You will also find that a maintenance hatch might be useful, and cause less stress if anything should go wrong. We have been fitting these types of systems for well over 20 years now and (*touch wood*) have not had a single problem! Importantly - Concealed cisterns and wall hung WC's provide the ideal easy-to-clean, and extremely hygienic surface. There are no obstacles to clean around or cisterns to clean under, just uninterrupted floor space, which can be cleaned easily in one go! For a project like this, one of the biggest advantages of concealed cisterns that are coupled with wall-hung WC's is that the user can adjust the height of the toilet to suit their particular height requirements. So often, floor-standing toilets don’t accommodate very tall, short or elderly individuals, making them uncomfortable to use. Other advantages are, of course, aesthetics, noise reduction, environmentally friendly, they can take more weight and are therefore stronger, you have a lot more design freedom in planning a space, finally they are state of the art, and more durable nowadays. The shower seat is not fixed, so she is able to move this in and out with ease! Having lived with the original bathroom for about 50 years our client wanted a change! She wanted a very clean, modern, bright, and un-cluttered space. She didn't want anything on show, and wanted to walk in to a serene and soothing space! She has a lovely vase of bright flowers on the window sill, as a finishing touch and that's as far as the 'accessories' go (I did spot some orange towels, so that gives a splash of colour!) But, as always, design is each to their own! Thanks again for all your comments, this project was a first for us regarding the clientele and we learn more from each and every one.

If you use the search box and search in the bathroom photos for storage, you'll find loads of ideas. You could perhaps create built in storage somewhere? Or large wicker baskets to hold towels will bring warmth. Perhaps a freestanding unit. Depends on the layout of the bathroom. Also, have you thought about lighting?
