Help with small en suite bathroom layout
Victoria
10 years ago
This is going to be a bathroom for my son in our new build property. The smallest dimension is 1650mm, the largest is 2030mm.
We will be installing a narrower door than shown which will be 726mm wide and will be hung to open out of the room rather than in, with the hinge in the position shown.
The walls, window and soil pipe position (indicated by red circle inside red square) are fixed. The current sanitary ware position is indicative only. I would like to put in a walk in shower with no moving door, possibly 1400mm by 700mm.
Any ideas anyone? Thanks :-)

10 years agoI know this is in UK - obviously ! But for those who don't - and pull up this .. I wanted to say - yes I know !! But it's UK !!! 700 is really small Victoria - when he's a 6'6" student with rugby build shoulders - you might need a bigger shower !!!

10 years agoOk - so if you move the door so it still has architrave in the bedroom both sides - but in the bathroom it's tiled to edge - then by having the door over that side it gives room for the larger tray - with a glass panel and the shampoo bottles can sit in the window cill - which also give a little more elbow room !

Comments (7)Gina, I'm not really sure why i put it there to be honest!! The suggestion to locate the shower as shown on Jonathan's plan obviously makes much more sense! Some of my design thought was based on me thinking the toilets would need to be on the same wall so as to use the same soil pipe, not sure if this is just my incorrect logic though!??? Jonathan, I understand what you are saying about incorporating the cupboard space into bedroom 3 but if you remember back the plan (see below) was to create a study/bedroom from the hallway, old wc and landing cupboard. It wouldn't be possible to do this if we divided bedroom 3 into two rooms as they'd be no access to the far bedroom. Your plan would leave me with no more bedrooms than i have now and with a smaller bed 3. We could of course incorporate the cupboard space into bed 3 rather than the bathroom, making it an even bigger room but I'm slightly reluctant to as this room is one that has been finished....See MoreSmall en-suite bathroom, to tile or to wallpaper...
Comments (6)Personally I would put large tiles on the floor as well as in the shower, as herringbone will mean a lot of grout lines on the floor to get grubby. Then you could use the herringbone tiles on the wall behind the sink and make a feature of that wall? And/or on the wall above the bath (though it would be a hell of a job for the tilers with that slope, but can be done)? The bath panel could be either the large tiles or the herringbone. What’s the plan for the black long tiles - I like the idea of using those somewhere, maybe on the false wall behind the loo? Black herringbone as a nod to the white herringbone but to give a contrasting colour. Are the marble tiles real marble, or porcelain marble style? They are lovely by the way. If they are real marble I would be a little wary of using them in the shower as they are porous and may stain or spall, also mineral deposits can leach out causing rust stains especially with all those lovely veins. Calacatta is a particularly porous marble, more so than Carrara for example. If they are real then I would limit them to wall use (the sink wall and possibly the wall behind the bath as I say above) and perhaps use the black herringbone in the shower instead?...See MoreVictoria

This is what I meant by a bowed shower, it enlarges the showering area. Think access to loo is a little limited in your last drawing Karen, especially if I want to put in a vanity.

10 years agoIf you get a 1m panel on this set up it gives you the most shower space ... The area near the loo is free space on this and the previous sketch - but know what you meant - took the tray box out of the drawing, as it just looks busy ! If you have same coloured floor as tray or use wedi board and floor drain will make the room feel bigger too ?!?

10 years agoVictoria, I'm a total ignorant when it comes to technical stuff, however I'll show you how our guest bathroom was built. The room is smaller than yours (2200/ 1400mm) and, as you can see, it was built as a wet room. The sink and vanity are Godmorgan from Ikea. There's a towel warmer behind the door that you can't see in the photo. We are very happy with it (hubby uses it as his bathroom when we don't have guests).
Please let me know if you want me to go into details; I can easily measure spaces for you or even call the plumber to ask him details if you want (he's the friend of a friend whose friend is our friend type thing...)

10 years agoOr you could get a pocket door. We've got three: one for the loft bathroom, one for downstairs loo and one for the kitchen - they are great! http://www.eclisse.co.uk/var/eclisse_co_uk/storage/original/application/f7e57321ee712decd35bbe8d16dd6684.pdf http://www.eclisse.co.uk/Products
Also, Victoria, we have a door for the shower in the guest en-suite. We didn't want one, wanted just a glass panel like the one in the loft, but the builder got things mixed-up and he drilled holes and whatever and that's why we ended up with one.

10 years agoWe 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!

6 years agoAlthough this is tight I think this works.
Personally I would get a screen with a sliding door as I think it gives you more useable room in the shower
