Hi, the shower cubicle is 1300 x900mm, making the laundry cupboard around 1m x 1.3m, it takes two 60cm IKEA units and a filler piece. The sink in these pictures is in a metre wide unit, but in other drawings I've popped it in an 80cm unit. Realistically, there is only a 40cm diagonal gal between the toilet and the sink to walk through to get to the shower, and the distance between bath and sink is 57cm. I was anticipating having the shower concealed in the stud wall, so assumed there would be a need for pipes. I hope this makes sense, adding dimensions to the plan is tricky, I'm playing around with sketchup to try a get more precise idea of door sizes and architrave. Thank you!

There is just the issue of the cupboard in he corner, do you think I should go brown to match the vanity unit, white or grey? Or a mix? My husband started painting the doors in a light blue colour but it doesn’t seem to come together with the rest of the scheme unless I put some down in it somewhere? Any ideas?

Hi Graham, When in doubt, it's always helpful to use masking tape on the floor to visualize the actual size of an item of furniture or in your case, a kitchen island. A standard kitchen worktop is 60 in depth and usually (as best practice) 120 cm is left between a kitchen worktop and a kitchen island. The reason for that is to provide free movement if there are 2 people cooking in the kitchen at the same time (but also if one of them is opening an oven door, for example, and therefore needs more space to back up to do so easily). In order to help you visualize, I've marked in red the kitchen worktop depth and kitchen island. However, I've left around 90 – 100 cm between the two as some people actually prefer it that way. In green would be a standard/smaller two-seat sofa. As you can see, if you wish to have sofas and a dining area in the same room, there isn't much space left if you wish to add a kitchen island. I don't know the requirements of your project but from what I can see from the plan, the kitchen should be more than enough to cover the basic needs. Hope this helps to answer your question. Good luck!

Many thanks for all the feedback. So the plot thickens. I took off the "skirting" and there is basically just a void underneath for some pipework - images attached for reference. I'm assuming in order to tile this i'd probably need to box in the area first. Probably screw a baton into the floor or something and affix a bit of wood (ply?) On a separate point i wonder if it's worth bringing the level out into the main hallway a little? Edging on the step i agree is a must - either a tile edging or the oak nosing i think would both work. Thanks again for the feedback.
