Personally, it's better to have a wall between the bathroom and the toilet so no one gets walked in on. Definitely a good idea to keep the bath in case of reselling, although are you planning on going anywhere? If not, get rid of the bath and get a bigger shower I think.

We have a 900x900 shower and it's plenty big enough. Neither of your proposed layouts looks that great, to be perfectly honest, sorry! In the first layout, you could improve it quite a lot by swapping the toilet and vanity (centre the toilet under the window on the bottom right of the picture if possible), and having the shower door on the other wall (beside the door). Then, you could have a towel rail on the wall beside the door (i.e. behind the door when it's open), which would be accessible from the shower but hidden when the door was open. An 800x1200 shower might be a good size for your space. You'd have to choose a toilet that doesn't protrude too far, plus a narrow vanity. With that layout, you could have a long but narrow wall-hung vanity, with a big mirror covering the wall between the windows, which would make the room feel bigger and would give a good amount of storage.

Hi all, we have decided to update our second bathroom which will primarily be used by our 6 year old son. I want to make the bathroom feel more like his own space. We are thinking of updating the vanity (or at the very least sink and taps), mirror, possibly the wall color and update shower. I need ideas on what I can do to make this a kids bathroom but also take into account minor changes I can make as he grows older. I will take a better picture tonight.

We have just scraped together to buy our first home, everything is liveable, but it does have some of its 70s originals which I can mostly deal with but would like to do a little diy on the bathroom to be able to enjoy it a bit more until we can afford a full on reno. Any suggestion is on what we could do with this? Yes, the Lino is diabolical but it runs right through the laundry into the pink kitchen so will have to consider a few things before replacing this! TIA :)
