5 years agoWith that much space there are lots of options to explore. I would avoid having a shower and clothes storage in the same room due to the risk of moisture, and potential mould problems with your clothes. I would be exploring a walk through robe to gain access through a door to an ensuite at the front. This way you can avoid corner hanging space in your robe as it is difficult to access and inefficient.

Shower over bath? Your opinion required
Comments (14)Hi Nic, I've been stuck with shower-over-baths in a few rentals and they can be slippery death traps! They also get grotty in summer with bare feet, post beach showers etc which limits usage as a bath anyway. If your kids are old enough I'd go for just a nice big shower area or a separate shower with a compact freestanding bath if you can fit one. If your kids are little or the above won't work for you here's some tips to make a shower over bath safer and easy to use: - Pick a bath with an absolutely flat bottom and anti slip texture at the shower end (those suction anti-slip mats are worse than useless). - Position the shower screen so that you can step straight onto the anti slip part. - Make sure the bath edge is low enough for the kids to enter end exit easily. - A hand held shower head that can move up and down would be a nice addition. Hope that helps! Good luck with the new bathroom :)...See MoreBest bathroom layout for my first house? Help please!
Comments (14)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.

Comments (1)Would it be more cost effective to leave shower and toilet where they are… or would it cost much more to swap them over? Another idea was to build shower outside the floor plan and go under the eaves… could this be done? Thank you...See More

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoI don't like having to walk through a robe to get to the bathroom as per the rough sketch you could enter both from the passage way rather than having that entrance next to the bed. Sizes not correct , you could change the position of the shower and vanity.

5 years agoThe entry to the bedroom is so it match the other end of the hallway, where no doors were visible and the hallway wrapped around.
I love everything to be symmetrical, so I think that’s a huge issue for me...

5 years agoHi Alli, using Siriusky drawing, I have adapted space, which still leaves your hall as originally wanted (symmetrical with your other hall.) Access is as wanted, from the bedroom. Leaves your hallway free of doors, it does however, compromise on WIR space.

5 years agoAlli, referring to your drawing, yes that would work.
As I have mentioned before oklouise and Siriusky designs that incorporate the hall into your room are a better use of space.
But, as it is your home, and you know what you want, then this design is fine. We have read plenty of times on this site, about designing from the inside out. This maybe a reason for your dilemma. You are going from the outside in, and those windows are restricting your design.

5 years agoI recommend using a freestanding basin. looks good and no problem with the windows
And dont use partition walls in the toilet or shower. just use white glass or shower glass screen. They are thin, modern, and looks good.

5 years agoI just saw your sketch. Its a good idea. But I don't think long corridors inside bedroom will look good. And if you need to use toilet, its an extra walk in and turn and back again.
See this attached has more symmetry and more open flowing.
