small bathroom layout help
Hi, my family and I have moved to a small three bed property and the main bathroom is particularly small.
I was just wondering if anyone has any ingenious space saving solutions for this area as I’m struggling to get everything to fit without it being incredibly cramped .
I was thinking about having a 1200 bath with a shower over it to save some space but I’m concerned this will be both a terrible bath and a terrible shower!
Any suggestions would be very much a pprscited .

Comments (29)Hi Richard, My thoughts, (and I'm not an expert, so just a personal opinion), but I think the wetroom idea will be a total nightmare to keep clean. I would also be concerned that it not would be the safest option with young children in the house. Unless you are going to meticulously dry the floor down after every shower, anyone using the room afterwards, washing their hands at the sink for example would need to walk on a wet and possibly slippery floor. Also not ideal if you walk around the house in socks.... wet feet.. :-/ Even with really good drainage the floor would remain wet for some time after each shower. These concerns may only bother me though, these things are so subjective, but I always consider how much work will be involved in keeping a room clean and looking great....and the fact that the bath would get wet and no doubt splatted with shampoo and shower gel every time someone showered would have me in there constantly cleaning. This option is definitely also the more costly option as tanking would be required, and I you plan to sell in a year or so, I am not sure it would add value equivalent to your spend on the room. I would go for a nice shower over bath arrangement, this can still look lovely and high end. For example:...See MoreSmall bathroom layout please help! Urgent before builder murders me!
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 layout. Please help
Comments (17)Hi Sarah, As you can see a square shower tray is going to work to much better than a rectangle shower tray. It is going to allow you much more space and open up the room. I would suggest keeping the base of the room light (tiles and paint), and then go ahead and incorporate darker shades. On the wall, where the sink sits, add a large mirror to enhance the space in the room, this is a simple and easy way to trick the eye into thinking a room is bigger than it is. A wall hung toilet and skin cabinet is going to increase the floor space of the room. From a decorative side of things I would recommend black framed glass around the shower, this is a substile dark colour introduction without over doing it, and the glass will still keep the room open. I will post some images below of what I think could work. If you need anymore help please do let me know....See More

This is with a 1200mm shower enclosure (couldn't find bath option). Anything longer would feel cramped. 600mm space is quite tight for the wc.

Could you frame out the wall with the door and install a sliding pocket door?
I personally would just have a large shower enclosure rather than a bathtub. Either way, switching to a sliding pocket door will give you more room on the left side for a decent sized wall-hung vanity basin and wall-hung toilet.
Having the these floating off the floor will give the illusion of more floor space. Bespoke cabinets or shelving above the boxed in wall-hung toilet and then a mirror that spans the rest of the wall. - last month
Thanks so much for all the replies, it’s really very much appreciated. One last question, do you think it might work to have a small bathtub like this sandwich between the door and the right hand wall?

It will fit just about as you have 122 cm to play with. It depends on your requirements, if you need bath for your kids then this shall do. It won’t be functional once they grow.
